  • METHOD OF RECYCLING NICKEL FROM WASTE BATTERY MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20230323507
    Abstract: A method is described for recycling nickel from waste battery material. The method includes providing waste battery material comprising a nickel-containing oxide, reducing the nickel in the waste battery material to the zero oxidation state to provide a reduced waste battery material, reacting the reduced waste battery material with carbon monoxide to form Ni(CO)4, and reacting the Ni(CO)4 with a source of sulfate to form NiSO4. The NiSO4 product is useful as a nickel feedstock in various processes which require a nickel source, including processes which prepare new battery materials.
