Processing method for recovering material from battery

The present application provides a process for recovering materials from a battery, and thus recycling the various materials. The processing method involves: processing the plurality of cells into a reduced size feed stream; followed by recovery of a copper-containing product, a cobalt-containing, nickel-containing and/or manganese-containing product, and a lithium-containing product by a series of separation, separation and/or leaching steps; and optionally allowing recovery of an iron-containing product, an aluminum-containing product, a graphite product, etc. The present application also provides an apparatus and system for achieving size reduction of a plurality of cells under immersion conditions. At least one defect of the prior art can be overcome. 本申请提供一种从电池回收材料的处理方法，并因此将所述多种材料进行再循环。所述处理方法涉及：将所述多个电池处理成一尺寸减小的进料流；接着通过一系列的分开、分离及/或浸出的步骤来允许一含铜产物、含钴、含镍及/或含锰产物，以及一含锂产物的回收；以及，可选择地允许一含铁产物、含铝产物、石墨产物等的回收。本申请也提供了一种用于在浸没条件下实现多个电池的尺寸减小的设备及系统。本发明可以克服现有技术的至少一个缺点。
