LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES
Lithium batteries are a new predominant trend in directional drilling technology and the main (most powerful) product is lithium batteries with thionyl chloride electrolyte (LiSOCl2).
This type of battery provides high power and a very long shelf life. Power loss under certain storage conditions (not higher than + 15 ° C) is less than 2% per year. Lithium batteries are lighter than any other type of battery in weight and can be used in extreme climatic conditions. Lithium batteries are a reliable source of energy in the widest temperature range from –55 ° C to + 180 ° C. With available voltages from 3.0 to 3.9 volts, they provide maximum energy density compared to any other types of acid or alkaline batteries.
Lithium thionyl chloride batteries are produced in various sizes - AA, C, CC, D, DD, DDD and are subject to regulation of transportation requirements. Lithium batteries of different types operate on the basis of various chemical processes and have different characteristic properties. Especially lithium thionyl chloride batteries have the highest possible energy potential. These batteries are suitable for devices with low current consumption, and for high peak loads if necessary.
Low energy consumption during self-discharge and extremely long storage time makes these batteries indispensable when used in such an aggressive and inaccessible environment as is the bottom hole during drilling. Extensive use of these batteries is limited by the high cost and safety requirements of storage and operation.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Modern technologies for the production of lithium-ion batteries are aimed at reducing the cost of production, improving safety, reliability and power. This led to the rejection of the use of cobalt in the production, replacing it with phosphate iron, nickel hydroxide and manganese.
Regardless of the chemical basis - we can dispose. Large batteries are disassembled, discharged and disposed of. Metal components containing copper, aluminum and cobalt (depending on the type of battery) can be used as raw materials for further use.
LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium batteries are the most powerful power sources and are used in almost all industrial areas. When working with these batteries, special technologies are required for discharging and eliminating short circuits that can lead to uncontrolled destruction of cells with subsequent fire or explosion.
Our technologies make it possible to dispose safely in a completely isolated environment with complete absorption and neutralization of hazardous components.
Many companies prefer to use our services simply because we can guarantee absolute safety in the process of disposing of lithium batteries. In the process of recycling, batteries are destroyed and the components are neutralized. The resulting lithium carbonate and steel can be used in secondary production and enrichment, followed by use in industrial production.
ALKALINE BATTERIES
This type of battery contains three main components - manganese dioxide, zinc and steel. These three components make up 93% of the total mass of the elements.
The recycling process of this type of battery in our company is based on the separation of steel and powder mass of manganese dioxide and zinc after passing through the defragmentation process. Steel can be used in the secondary market of raw materials. The powder of manganese dioxide and zinc is transferred for further hydrometallurgical processing with obtaining at the output of highly enriched zinc dioxide and manganese oxide.
