Abstract

Growing demand on clean energy to control environmental pollution is growing rapidly. Rechargeable battery such as lithium ion battery is excellent source of clean energy but there is rapid depletion of lithium metal due to high demand and supply mismatch. Recovery of the precious metal from the battery waste is one of the possible solution along with the environmental pollution control. Membrane based separation method is highly successful commercial process available to recover lithium from the waste. This work will cover various methods reported recently and will be compiled in the form of a review.

환경오염을 제어하기 위한 청정에너지에 대한 수요 증가는 빠르게 증가하고 있습니다. 리튬 이온 배터리와 같은 충전식 배터리는 청정에너지의 우수한 원천이지만 높은 수요와 공급 불일치로 인해 리튬 금속이 빠르게 고갈되고 있습니다. 배터리 폐기물에서 귀금속을 회수하는 것은 환경오염 제어와 함께 가능한 해결책 중 하나입니다. 멤브레인 기반 분리 방법은 폐기물에서 리튬을 회수할 수 있는 매우 성공적인 상업적 공정입니다. 이 작업은 최근에 보고된 다양한 방법을 다룰 것이며 검토 형식으로 작성될 것입니다.
