As renewable energy and electromobility expand, the importance of efficient and safe battery recycling is also growing. Throughout the entire process chain – from dismantling and mechanical processing right through to the recovery of raw materials – fine dusts, some of which are hazardous to health and critical to the process, as well as reactive substances, can be released.
Battery recycling generates, among other things, metal-containing fine dusts from nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium compounds, graphite dusts from anode materials, and copper and aluminium dusts from current collectors and housing components. In addition, electrolyte residues, fluorine-containing decomposition products and other reactive or corrosive substances may occur, which place special demands on occupational health and safety and plant safety.
Many of these particles are extremely fine, respirable and, in some cases, toxic. At the same time, certain dust-air mixtures can be reactive or explosive. Well-designed concepts for enclosure, negative pressure control, filtration and controlled material flows are therefore crucial for reliably controlling emissions and ensuring safe working conditions.
deconta offers tailor-made special solutions for this purpose, combining the highest safety standards with practical functionality. Through secure containment systems, high-performance filtration technology and clearly defined air and material flows, critical emissions can be controlled and sensitive process areas effectively protected.
Our system solution for companies in the battery recycling sector comprises
Negative pressure maintenance and filtration
High-performance negative pressure maintenance units are used to safely contain sensitive process areas, ensuring controlled airflow within the plant. This prevents contaminated air from areas with critical dusts from escaping uncontrolled into adjacent zones.
In combination with highly efficient HEPA H14-class filter systems, even the finest particulate matter is reliably captured. This applies in particular to metal-containing particles such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, lithium or graphite dusts, which can be generated during battery recycling. In this way, our systems make an active contribution to the protection of personnel, the environment and the production environment.
Personnel airlocks with integrated air shower
Specially configured personnel airlocks with integrated air showers and HEPA H14 filtration enable controlled decontamination when entering and leaving defined plant areas.
Adhering dust and particles are specifically removed from workwear and equipment, thereby significantly reducing the carry-over of critical substances. At the same time, the airlock systems support the clear separation of ‘black’ and ‘white’ zones and contribute to structured, safe workflows within the facility.
Special material transfer chambers
Customised material airlocks enable the safe transfer of materials – such as the so-called black mass – under controlled pressure and filtration conditions.
This prevents cross-contamination and ensures a safe, compliant material flow.
