The BASF battery recycling business is another game: will build a powerful lithium battery recycling base in Finnish

　　Author ：Iflowpower – Portable Power Station Supplier

A few days ago, German Chemical Giant BASF and Russian Miners Norilsknickel (Nornickel), FORTUM San Company signed a cooperative intent, plans to establish an electric vehicle battery recycle base in Finland to repeat key metals in lithium ion batteries (for example Cobalt and nickel). As the leading chemical giants in the world, BASF has been committed to the development and production of energy density, battery positive materials, and the cooperation between this and many companies is mainly to achieve circular economy through battery material production and recycling closed loop. Electrical development.

Finland's energy supplier Fortum uses new wet metallurgical technology, which can recover more than 80% of the materials in each battery, and the battery recovery rate in the market is about 50%. Fortum expects that with the surge in electric vehicle demand, by 2025, the market value of the global battery recycling will reach at least 20 billion euros (about $ 23 billion, 154.3 billion yuan).

The recovered cobalt and nickel metal materials will be further refined by Russian Miners Norilsknickel, re-use. Teroholl?nder, director of Fortum Recycling and Waste Business Development, said: "By recovering valuables in lithium-ion batteries, we added the supply of cobalt, nickel and other key metals, thereby reducing the impact of electric vehicle batteries on the environment. "With the booming battery industry driven, in order to reduce the environmental pollution and resource reuse, the industry recycling industry is also urgently needed.

BASF layout European power battery recycling This is not the first time in BASF, in October 2019, BASF plans to bring EIHM and Suez, which French company, established EIT raw material organizations, established with EIT raw materials, and invest lithium batteries. Recycle project. Three companies will jointly fund the EIT raw material organizations created with the EU share 4.

7 million euros (about 36.82 million yuan), put "relieve" electric vehicle lithium-ion battery recycling project. The project aims to develop an innovative closed-loop process that recovers lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles, and produces new lithium-ion batteries in Europe with recycled battery materials.

Among them, Suez is responsible for collecting and disassembling the waste battery, and Ehman is responsible for the recovery of battery components, and BASF is responsible for producing lithium battery positive materials. Danielschnfelder, Vice President of European Business Management, said that BASF believes that the recycling process will play an increasingly important role in the promotion of electric vehicles, with partners, will cultivate innovation, sustainable and competitive European batteries. Market value chain.

As a chemical giant in the world's ranking, BASF has been committed to the development and production of battery positive materials with higher energy density and more reliable performance. The BASF layout European power battery material recycling project is obviously preparing for the European Union to increase the power battery investment and the European vehicle enterprise electrical strategy process, thereby enhancing its competitiveness in the European positive material market. Currently, in order to reverse Europe on the situation of Asian batteries in the power battery, Europe has reminissed the layout in the power battery in recent years.

In May of this year, Germany and France decided to jointly establish Europe's first battery industry alliance, including Opeau Automobile, Peugeot Citroen Group and French battery manufacturer Shuifu, etc. Recently, the German Federal Economics and Energy announced that eight countries such as France, Italy, Finland, and Sweden will form Europe's second battery industry alliance, including BMW, BASF, Walta, etc., alliances have been added.

At the same time, including BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi and other European car companies have also developed a clear electrical strategic goal, and will revitalize billions of dollars procurement power batteries. This attracts large-scale expansion capacity of Samsung SDI, LG Chemical, SKI, Ningde, and European local battery companies in Europe. Under this circumstance, BASF is based on the production capacity of European positive material, and the layout of waste battery is recycled.

Car home, high work lithium battery.
