Deconstructing Hazards: Process Safety in Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling

The escalating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and portable electronics has led to a significant increase in the consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Projections indicate that global demand for LIBs will rise from approximately 330 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2021 to around 4.7 terawatt-hours (TWh) by 2030, reflecting a nearly seven-fold increase. Other sourcesp oint out an actual production of 1150 GWh of battery cells in 2024, and a potential capacity of 2 TWh.
This surge in usage is expected to result in a substantial volume of spent batteries; estimates suggest that the volume of battery materials available for recycling worldwide will grow from 200,000 tons in 2020 to 1.4 million tons by 2030, and exceed 7 million tons by 20403 . As a consequence, the global LIB recycling market is projected to grow significantly in the coming years
