Recycling The Lithium Battery

Prior to discussing the practicalities of recycling lithium batteries, it is necessary to first provide a background illustrating the types and charaeteristics of lithium batteries. Following the background section, this chapter will focus on  

In the past 40 years this quest for the perfeet battery has had amazing results. The development eind refinement of many battery types sueh as the alkaline, silver zine. 

The search for the perfect battery has yielded hundreds of different types and sizes of batteries, lliese range from small consumer cells in the foreground to extremely large military batteries. 

This search however, is limited by certain restrictions. Among these restrictions, are the ftmdamental laws of physics and chemistry. One such rule is that each element (or compound) can only achieve its well defined maximum, positive or negative, electrical potential. Lithium and sodium, are the two lightest metals and also have the 

For over thirty years lithium primary batteries gained consumer and industrial awareness. They became well known for their performance in very diverse military
