Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3156827A1] Disclosed is a method for recycling a battery comprising the following steps: a) dissolving a piece of battery waste, for example an electrode, comprising lithium and a metal chosen from cobalt and manganese, whereby a solution to be treated containing lithium ions and ions of the metal is formed; b) adding a peroxomonosulfate salt to the solution to be treated, the solution to be treated being regulated at a pH of between 1 and 4 when the metal is cobalt or at a pH of between 0.1 and 2.5 when the metal is manganese, whereby the ions of the metal are selectively precipitated in the form of metal oxyhydroxide; and c) separating the lithium ions from the solution to be treated. Advantageously, the solution also comprises nickel ions.
