In the 863 field of new materials with the support of the Shenzhen High-Tech Green America Co., Ltd., Beijing University of Technology and other units through the production and sony VGP-BPS2 battery，sony VGP-BPS2A battery research co-operation, broke through the resource utilization of used batteries industrialization of key technologies, establishment of resource utilization of used batteries in the core patented technology system and standard system, the formation of annual recycling of used batteries and other waste, 20,000 tons of nickel cobalt annual output of high-performance cobalt, nickel metal powder production capacity of 2000 tons, and built a recycling technology to produce ultra-fine nickel, cobalt demonstration base powder materials.
Cobalt-nickel metal is widely used in batteries, carbide, stainless steel, petrochemicals, automobile manufacturing, machine tools, etc., cobalt and nickel powders are indispensable in modern industrial metal. China is a poor state of cobalt, cobalt resources of proven recoverable reserves are 40.9 thousand tons, accounting for only 1.03% of the world cobalt resources, while the cobalt resource consumption is 12,000 tons / year or more, accounting for 25% of the world’s consumption; Meanwhile, China is also a lack of resources of the state of nickel, has proven reserves of nickel resources of 232 million tons, accounting for 3.56% of the world, while China’s annual consumption of about 25 million tons, an annual shortfall of 10 million tons. China’s annual lithium ion, nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium batteries more than 300,000 tons of waste, the amount of used batteries to retain more than 100 million tons of used batteries urgent need to develop resource utilization technologies. In the lithium ion, nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium battery scrap, there is rich in cobalt, nickel metal, is an important renewable cobalt and nickel resources. The use of used batteries to produce high-end VGP-BPS2C，VGP-BPS2Bproducts to meet the application requirements of cobalt, nickel powder, can form a virtuous circle of resource recycling.
Grammy Shenzhen Hi-tech Co., Ltd., New Materials Jingmen Grammy Co., Ltd., Beijing University of Technology, Central South University in cooperation for a typical multi-department of waste batteries and nickel-cobalt-waste recycling and high-performance nickel-cobalt-a study of new materials technology solve the performance restoration, revitalization and special structures forming, dismantling / classification, rapid separation and purification and other key technology and process equipment, build the failure to adapt to a variety of waste materials, cobalt and nickel recycling systems and new technology to build an area of 250,000 square meters of production base and research centers, to produce ultra-fine metallic nickel and cobalt powders, spherical nickel hydroxide, box-shaped cobalt oxide and the four spherical cobalt oxide sub-four series of nickel and cobalt powders, fully restored failure of nickel, cobalt material performance. Product cost less than the cost of the original minerals, product performance to meet the auto parts, precision machine tools and battery three different technical standards for the industry, access to national key new products and Hubei, Guangdong brand-name title, replacing some of the imported products has now met the sony VGP-BPS5 battery，sony VGP-BPS5A battery carbide factory and part of the domestic battery industry’s needs, the annual output value reached 800 million yuan.
In the 863 Program and local governments with the support of the Grammy’s worked in Shenzhen, Hubei has established covering 20 cities, 7 million people of scrap battery recycling network, has assembled 15,000 waste battery recycling boxes, the annual recycling of 3,000 tons of used batteries above, the creation of a demonstration model of waste battery recycling. Green America with used batteries and other “urban mines” Resource Recycling, failure to achieve re-use of cobalt-nickel materials, product upgrades, forming independent intellectual property rights, building a cobalt and nickel metal circular economy industrial chain. This is to promote the development of China’s circular economy and ease China’s shortage of cobalt and nickel resources, reduce environmental pollution of great significance.
