High yield gluconic acid leaching and recovery of valuable metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries by Reinhard Lerchbammer, Eva Gerold, Helmut Antrekowitsch

“…Beyond reducing the ecological footprint of leaching processes, organic acids offer improved selectivity and efficiency in metal recovery. Among them, gluconic acid has proven to be a particularly effective agent for the extraction of valuable metals.Through statistical optimization, the leaching process achieved extraction efficiencies exceeding 98 % for lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (EoL-LIBs), while significantly limiting the co-dissolution of copper, iron, and aluminum.Subsequently, nickel, cobalt, and manganese were selectively recovered through precipitation using oxalic and sulphide agents. …”
