Project 3-2

As part of this dismantling project, separation techniques for a suitable reverse engineering have to be identified. Material-process interactions and contaminations have to be examined during separation and their development within the recycling process. For a resource- and energy-efficient recycling route it is important to be able to separate the products according to type at all levels at an early stage to achieve the highest possible yield. Suitable methods of separating battery cells/modules will be identified in terms of ecological and economic efficiency.

Specific objectives:

• Battery cell / module separation identification in terms of ecological and economic efficiency (speed, complexity, contamination)
• Separation techniques with different material sources for best process application, parameterization and evaluation of a sustainable dismantling process
• Analytical and in-line methods for high quality cutting edges
• Evaluation of repair measures and the tolerance limits of contaminations with regard to the subsequent recycling process are being determined

Expected outcome:

• Closing the circular battery production with reverse engineering
• Ideal separation processes for disassembly technologies
• Realization of scalable processes for a pilot scale processing
