Abstract: The present invention relates to a waste battery treatment apparatus using continuous heat treatment, and a method for recovering valuable metals from lithium-based batteries using the same, the waste battery treatment apparatus comprising: a frame (10); a reaction reservoir (30) which is disposed in the inner space of the frame (10) and has thereinside a treatment space (S1) in which waste batteries to be treated are disposed; an inlet 34 (33) in which a gas blocking door (34) is disposed so as to selectively communicate the treating space (S1) with the outside, and which serves as a path through which an object to be treated is inputted to the treating space (S1) of the reaction reservoir (30). In addition, the waste battery treatment apparatus is provided with a vacuum forming means (40) which is connected to the treatment space (S1) of the reaction reservoir (30) to vacuumize the treatment space (S1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of simultaneously recovering cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn) from lithium-based BATTERY, and more particularly, to a method that is capable of simultaneously recovering cobalt and manganese from lithium-based BATTERY, i.e., recycled resources that contain large amounts of cobalt and manganese, with high purities using multistage leaching and electrowinning methods. According to the method of the present invention, cobalt and manganese can be simultaneously recovered from lithium-based BATTERY as recycled resources, and a recovery method that is cost-effective compared to conventional methods can be provided.

Abstract: An electromagnetic braking cylinder includes a cylinder part, a piston part and an electromagnetic force generating part. The cylinder part includes first and second surfaces and an extending portion. The first and second surfaces face each other and form a first receiving space. The extending portion vertically extends from the second surface and forms a second receiving space. The piston part is received inside of the first and second receiving spaces, and moves back and forth along the extending part. The electromagnetic force generating part includes first and second electromagnetic parts respectively fixed to the cylinder part and the piston part, and moves the piston part according as an electromagnetic force is applied. One of the first and second electromagnetic parts includes a permanent magnet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering cobalt and manganese from a spent cobalt-manganese-bromine (CMB) catalyst. The method includes (a) continuously leaching a spent CMB catalyst with sulfuric acid, (b) separating the leachate into a solution and a residue, (c) extracting the solution with a solvent, and (d) washing the extract with water. According to the method, high-purity cobalt and manganese can be recovered in high yield from a spent CMB catalyst while minimizing the amount of impurities. Further disclosed is a method for producing a CMB liquid catalyst from the extract containing cobalt and manganese obtained by the recovery method.
