Development of Continuous-Type Electric Furnace to Recover Metal Values from Waste Mixed Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

Continuous-type electric furnace for thermal treatment to recover metal values from waste mixed batteries was newly developed to enhance it with safe, efficient, and eco-friendly processes. Waste mixed batteries were charged continuously into the reactor and handled in the furnace at 500°C for 2 hours under argon atmosphere and they were found to be separated in side reactor with easy. The electrodic powder including valuable metals such as Mn, Ni, Co, Zn, etc. was recovered from bulk components through sieving process.
