Pyrometallurgical Recycling Process: High-Temperature Recovery with Proven Scale
The pyrometallurgical recycling process represents the oldest and most industrially proven approach to battery recycling, using high-temperature smelting to extract valuable metals. This process achieves 60-80% recovery of critical materials . The Umicore process is a prime example, involving high-temperature smelting in a vertically mounted, preheated furnace where material is...
