Disassembly of industrial energy storage wall-mounted structure

How is automated disassembly performed?

Utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans, internal cell structures and joints are identified, contributing to the development of disassembly procedures. Through post-mortem analysis, cells are manually disassembled and the processes are evaluated, facilitating the establishment of the framework for automated disassembly.

What is automated disassembly framework?

Automated disassembly framework Following the manual dismantling of the investigated battery cells, the internal structures and joints are clearly determined. The identification of component joints within the cell facilitates the development of methods for cell disassembly and components separation.

Does industrial disassembly increase circularity?

Industrial disassembly plays a key role in increasing circularity for EVBs (Electric Vehicle Batteries), as shown in the comparison of circular use systems for EVBs with and without systematic industrial disassembly.

What is the conceptual framework for automated cell disassembly?

Conceptual framework for automated cell disassembly. At the cell level, the disassembly process is initiated with a comprehensive cell condition check, encompassing aspects such as residual voltage, physical appearance including deformation and mechanical damage.

How does disassembly work?

For this, a necessary disassembly process extends to the cell level with a deeper dismantling down to electrodes. Through dismantling of electrode-separator-composites (ESCs), a separated recovery of the anodic and cathodic active materials is facilitated, ensuring a high level of purity and enabling a regeneration of the active materials.

How can automated battery disassembly process chains be developed?

This research focuses on conceptualizing a framework for developing automated battery disassembly process chains. Utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans, internal cell structures and joints are identified, contributing to the development of disassembly procedures.
