The need to fight climate changes has pushed the international community towards use of renewable sources. Nevertheless, their main issue is the periodic availability and, thus they need to be stored at the moment they are produced. Lithium-based batteries solved this problem; in fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that lithium demand will increase of 90% over the following two decades. Nevertheless, the use of batteries increased waste and pollution, thus, the recovery of exhausted batteries has become an hot topic. Membrane-based separation technology is considered a promising and environmentally friendly alternative for the recovery of lithium from different sources. This work aimed at investigating the recovery of Li from spent Li-batteries through a hybrid membrane-based process.

Abstract
The need to fight climate changes has pushed the international community towards use of renewable sources. Nevertheless, their main issue is the periodic availability and, thus they need to be stored at the moment they are produced. Lithium-based batteries solved this problem; in fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that lithium demand will increase of 90% over the following two decades. Nevertheless, the use of batteries increased waste and pollution, thus, the recovery of exhausted batteries has become an hot topic. Membrane-based separation technology is considered a promising and environmentally friendly alternative for the recovery of lithium from different sources. This work aimed at investigating the recovery of Li from spent Li-batteries through a hybrid membrane-based process.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
