Automobile News ] February 1, 2021, Volkswagen Group Parts Company is officially enabled in Salzgite’s first automotive battery recovery factory. As the project is carried out, the Volkswagen Group has taken a solid step in achieving the sustainable development process of the full-value chain end of the power battery. The goal of the plant is to create a raw material recycling closed-loop management system, which industrially recovered lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, aluminum, copper and plastics, and industrial recovery. In the long run, the goal is to recover raw materials above 90%.
The special place in the Group Salzji Industrial Factory is that recycling cannot be used as an old battery. Before the recycling of used batteries, the factory will pass the analysis to confirm whether the battery has sufficient power, and can continue to be used in a mobile energy storage system such as flexible and fast charging stations or charging robots. It is estimated that the Group in the 20020 can there be a large number of battery recycling requirements. Therefore, the initial planning of the factory is to recover 3,600 battery systems annually, equivalent to 1,500 tons. In the future, with the continuous optimization of the recycling management process, the factory will further expand to handle larger volumes of battery recovery needs. 
Recycling for waste battery core raw materials 
ldquo; battery is the core component of electric vehicles, and is used by battery recovery. , Volkswagen Group Parts Company has taken a new step in achieving end-to-end sustainable development. RDQUO; Volkswagen Group Management Board of Directors, Ministry of Technical Department Future issues such as raw materials and other future issues, play the role of the Group’s industry. RDQUO;
Waste batteries enter the recovery plant
This innovation, reducing the recovery process of carbon dioxide emissions no longer uses high energy consumption The blast furnace smelting process, but the recycled old batteryDetective discharge, dismantling, and battery packs are pulverized into particles and then dry sieve. In addition to producing raw materials such as aluminum, copper and plastics, the process also produces a black powder: which contains important batter materials such as lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt and graphite. Thereafter, the professionals are again separated from different raw materials using water and chemical reagents by wet metallurgy. 
Responsible for processing recycling machine equipment
In this regard, Volkswagen Group Parts Company Technology Development and Electric Auto Business Unit The person in charge Mark Mouml; Ller explained: LDQUO; the core components of the old battery can be used to produce new cathode materials. Studies have shown that the recycled battery raw materials and new materials have equal efficacy. In the future, we plan to support the production and manufacture of new batteries using recycled raw materials. In view of the market’s demand for battery and related raw materials, we will make full use of each gram regenerative raw material. RDQUO;
