  • Patent number: 11851728
    Abstract: A method for processing accumulators, batteries and the like, which contain lithium, lithium ions, sodium, potassium and/or nickel as active components. According to the invention, the following steps are carried out; —introducing an accumulator, a battery, cell or the like, that contains lithium, lithium ions, sodium, potassium and/or nickel, into a chamber/reactor (13,23); —introducing water (H2O) (B, B2) in to the reactor (13,23); bringing the content of the reactor (13) to a temperature between 120° C. and 370° C. at a pressure between 2 and 250 bar.
    Type: Grant
