Abstract

Spent lithium-ion (LiB) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries pose significant environmental concerns and a valuable resource for critical metals. This study employs a two-level fractional factorial design to analyze the impact of various leaching factors on nickel and manganese recovery from a mixture of spent LiB and NiMH batteries. Results indicate that the acid concentration and liquid-to-solid ratio are the most influential factors for nickel and manganese leaching. Scanning electron microscopy analysis confirms the morphological changes in the black mass, leading to increased porosity and reduced particle size, correlating with higher metal recovery. This study provides valuable insights for developing efficient and sustainable battery recycling processes.
