Abstract
With the recent introduction of various environmental policies focused on carbon neutrality has made recycling a crucial task in the electric vehicle industry. In particular, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, a critical component of EVs, is becoming increasingly important. The process of recovering valuable metals such as lithium (Li), cobalt.....

Abstract
As environmental pollution has intensified, the importance of recycling spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has significantly increased. Valuable metals contained in LIBs are typically recovered through processes such as leaching, precipitation, and solvent extraction. However, these recycling processes require large amounts of sulfuric acid and caustic soda, resulting in the generation..... More

Abstract
Concerns have arisen regarding the high concentrations of sodium sulfate in wastewater resulting from the waste Li-ion battery wet recycling process. In addressing this issue, Bipolar electrodialysis was employed to desalinate high-concentration sodium sulfate and recover it as sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. The investigation encompassed various experimental variables, such..... More
