Abstract
As new functional electronics are being developed fast, the commercialization rate of advanced battery as a power source proceeds rapidly. Lithium battery is satisfying the needs of high-energy source for its lightness and good electrochemical property. Especially lithium ion battery, adopted as a new power source for portable electronic equipments around the globe, has been mass-produced. Under the circumstance, the generation of lithium battery wastes is becoming a new environmental problem. In this paper, we are going to inspect technology developments for recycling of lithium battery wastes and scraps in domestic and foreign area, and to suggest how to treat domestic lithium battery wastes and scraps better.
