Recovery of Lithium from Secondary Resources

Recovery of Lithium from Secondary Resources: Recycling Technologies of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries presents a state-of-the-art review of recent advances in the lithium recovery from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). It examines the recovery of lithium from secondary sources and provides an introduction to the classification and structure of LIBs. It explains the development of LIBs for electric vehicles and addresses the potential impact of spent LIBs in the environment. Further, it also addresses the multiple treatment protocols for the recycling of LIBs and discusses the high value-added products from these processes. The book provides an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and policymakers in academia, industry, and governments around the globe.

Muammer Kaya was born in Eskisehir, Turkey, in 1960. He obtained his B.Sc. from the Mining Engineering Department of Eskisehir Osmangazi University (ESOGU) in 1981. Dr. Kaya received his M.Sc., and Ph.D. from the Metallurgical Engineering Department of McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1985 and 1989, respectively. He has over 79 national and international (SCI) publications, 85 conference papers/presentations, published 17 books, and contributed 33 book/encyclopedia chapters to edited international books. Dr. Kaya is interested in mineral processing, flotation, leaching, solvent extraction, precipitation, paper/e-waste/LIB/REE recycling, and environmental protection. He has been working as a full Professor at ESOGU since 1999. He has worked as the Director of ESOGU Technological Research Center (TEKAM) for 15 years. Dr. Kaya also established a Vocational School (ESOGU-EMYO) in Eskisehir. Prof. Kaya has been the Dean of ESOGU Engineering and Architectural Faculty since 2019. Prof. Kaya has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists in the field of Mining & Metallurgy according to the H index, total publications, and citations for the last three years. Prof. Kaya was a member of the Minerals Metals & Materials Society (TMS), the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM), and the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). This book is the third book of Prof. Kaya. His previous books were Electronic Waste and Printed Circuit Board Recycling Technologies (2019; ISBN 978-3-030-26592-2) and Recycling Technologies for Secondary Zn-Pb Resources (2022; ISBN: 978-3031146848).
