Selective Recovery of Cadmium, Cobalt, and Nickel from Spent Ni-Cd Batteries Using Adogen 464 and Mesoporous Silica Derivatives.

Spent Ni-Cd batteries are now considered an important source for many valuable metals. The recovery of cadmium, cobalt, and nickel from spent Ni-Cd Batteries has been performed in this study. The optimum leaching process was achieved using 20% HSO, solid/liquid (S/L) 1/5 at 80 °C for 6 h.

Efficient Recovery of Rare Earth Elements and Zinc from Spent Ni-Metal Hydride Batteries: Statistical Studies.

Considering how important rare earth elements (REEs) are for many different industries, it is important to separate them from other elements. An extractant that binds to REEs inexpensively and selectively even in the presence of interfering ions can be used to develop a useful separation method. This work was designed to recover REEs from spent nickel-metal hydride batteries using ammonium sulfate.
