Abstract

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is significantly changing the landscape of human life. The feasibility of recycling and disposal of spent LIBs was proposed based on the study of their forecasted demand and distribution characteristics in China. The yearly processing capacity of recycling and disposal facilities of spent LIBs on a nationwide scale were estimated to be at least 50 kilotons. The recycling and disposal facilities should be established in the southeastern coast areas of China, which generated high-density spent LIBs. Beijing was chosen as a city case study to discuss the demand forecasting and present one detailed construction planning of spent LIBs recycling. The obtained thoughts and results can contribute to the recycling and disposal facilities of other Chinese megacities.
