August 14 news, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization Division revised the formation of the "new energy vehicle waste power battery comprehensive utilization of industry norms (2024 this)", and to the community for public comment. This is to strengthen the new energy vehicle waste power battery comprehensive utilization of industry management, to promote the industry's high-quality development of a major initiative.
The document says that the comprehensive utilization in the normative conditions is a multi-level, multi-purpose rational utilization process of used batteries for new energy vehicles, mainly including laddering and recycling.
The document points out that enterprises should carry out comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries based on relevant national and industry standards, and put forward specific requirements for plant conditions, facilities and equipment, technology and process, traceability, resource utilization, energy consumption and so on. In addition, for the secondary utilization of enterprises and recycling enterprises are individually put forward specific requirements.
For example, the amount of used power batteries utilized by step-down enterprises should be no less than 60% of the actual amount of used power batteries recycled (of which the amount utilized and recycled are calculated by weight); self-built or built with the user of the step-down product online monitoring platform to monitor the operational status of the product and the flow of direction.
Again, recycling enterprises guarantee that major valuable metals are effectively extracted and recycled through smelting or material repair. Among them, the recovery rate of copper and aluminum should be no less than 98%, the recovery rate of electrode powder after crushing and separation should be no less than 98%, the impurity aluminum content should be less than 1%, and the impurity copper content should be less than 1%; the recovery rate of lithium in the smelting process should be no less than 90%, and the recovery rate of nickel, cobalt, and manganese should be no less than 98%, and the comprehensive recovery rate of rare earths and other major valuable metals should be no less than 97%, and the rate of fluorine curing should be no less than 99.5%, and the integrated energy consumption of lithium carbonate production should be less than 2200 kilograms of lithium carbonate. Comprehensive energy consumption of lithium carbonate production is lower than 2200 kg of standard coal/ton; if material repair process is adopted, the proportion of the sum of the mass of recycled materials to the sum of the mass of target materials contained in the original power battery shall be not less than 99%.
