  • Patent number: 10189083
    Abstract: A method for recycling electrode materials of lithium ion batteries, including the following steps: (1) disassembling the waste lithium ion battery to get positive electrode and negative electrode, immersing the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode into ammonia, then washing by deionized water and drying the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode; (2) sintering the dried positive electrode and/or the negative electrode, and using mechanical method to separate electrode powder material from current collector to get positive electrode powder material and/or negative electrode powder material; (3) supplementing lithium to the positive electrode powder material, then processing the positive electrode powder material by milling, spray drying and sintering to obtain regenerated positive electrode material; or processing the negative electrode powder material by milling, spray drying and sintering to obtain regenerated negative electrode material.

  • Patent number: 9040739
    Abstract: A catalyst for synthesis of lactic acid and it derivatives is provided. The catalyst includes SnY2.mH2O and at least one of NH4X or quaternary ammonium salts, wherein X and Y are selected from F—, Cl—, Br—, I—, CH3SO3—, C6H5SO3—, CH3C6H4SO3— or CN—, m represents an integer of 1 to 15. A method for synthesis of lactic acid and it derivatives with the above catalyst is also provided. By using the above catalyst and method, it is capable of converting carbohydrate-containing raw material to lactic acid and its derivatives directly in a more efficient and economical way.

  • Patent number: 8835670
    Abstract: A method for synthesis of lactic acid and its derivatives is provided. First, a mixture is prepared, which includes: at least one carbohydrate-containing raw material, at least one alcohol, at least one composite catalyst containing metal chloride(s) (MCln) and tin-containing compound(s), and at least one solvent, wherein M is selected from a group consisting of Li+, Na+ K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ga3+, In3+, Sb3+, Bi3+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, and n represents 1, 2 or 3. Then, the mixture is heated to obtain lactic acid and its derivatives. By using the above catalyst and method, it is capable of converting carbohydrate-containing raw material to lactic acid and its derivatives directly in a more efficient and economical way.
