Jiangxi Retired Lithium Battery Comprehensive Recycling and Cascade Regeneration Project Submitted for Approval
The project is named "Jiangxi Longkai Circular Technology Co., Ltd. Retired Lithium Battery Comprehensive Recycling and Cascade Regeneration Project." It is a new construction project, with four processing systems: a spent lithium battery cascade utilization and pretreatment system (including 2 lines for spent ternary lithium battery cascade utilization and pretreatment, and 4 lines for spent lithium iron phosphate battery cascade utilization and pretreatment), a spent ternary lithium battery powder comprehensive recovery system, a spent lithium iron phosphate battery powder comprehensive recovery system, and a lithium carbonate production system. Product plan: cascade utilization ternary lithium battery packs (400 t/a),

 

Yichang 300,000-Ton Spent Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Recycling Project Arrives
The project is named "Yichang Brunp Recycling 300,000-Ton Spent Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Recycling Project." The total investment is 1.066 billion yuan. Construction includes a new #175 lithium salt workshop, #188 LFP synthesis workshop, #181 powder slurrying + electrode sheet crushing workshop, #187 crushing workshop, and #192 battery pack dismantling workshop, along with technical modifications to meet production needs. It is designed to process 300,000 tons of spent lithium iron phosphate batteries annually.

 

 

Annual Processing of 10,000 Tons of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries and Separator Crushing & Pyrolysis Project Lands in Hunan
Recently, the official website of Hunan Zhongbang Renewable Resources Technology Co., Ltd. released a public notice for the draft environmental impact report of the "Annual Processing of 10,000 Tons of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries and Separator Crushing & Pyrolysis Project." After implementation, the production line will process 10,000 tons of spent lithium-ion batteries and separators annually, producing 4,100 tons of lithium battery black mass and 2,590 tons of copper-aluminum material.

 

Xingfa Group's Annual 100,000-Ton Lithium Iron Phosphate Project Lands
On the evening of April 3, Xingfa Group (600141) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary company, Inner Mongolia Xingfa Technology Co., Ltd., plans to invest 1.381 billion yuan to build a 100,000-ton/year battery-grade lithium iron phosphate project in the Wuda Industrial Park, Economic Development Zone, Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia.
