Recovery of Lithium from Primary and Secondary Resources

Recovery of Lithium from Primary and Secondary Resources: Recycling Technologies of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries presents a state-of-the-art review of recent advances in the lithium recovery from primary sources and recycling technologies of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). It examines the recovery of lithium from ores and brines as well as from secondary sources and provides an introduction to the classification and the structure of LIBs. It explains the development of LIBs for electric vehicles and addresses the potential impact of spent LIBs in the environment. Further, it also addresses the multiple treatment protocols for the recycling of LIBs and discusses the high value-added products from these processes. The book provides an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and policymakers in academia, industry, and governments around the globe.
