METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING ORGANIC CARBONATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198251 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING ORGANIC CARBONATES

The abstract describes a method for recovering organic carbonates in an electrolytic solution of a waste lithium ion battery. This method involves a temperature adjustment process and a recovery process to isolate the first carbonate in the condenser.

The method recovers organic carbonates from waste lithium ion batteries.
It includes a temperature adjustment process to maintain specific temperature ranges in the drier, pipe, and condenser.
The recovery process reduces internal pressures to isolate the first carbonate in the condenser.
The first carbonate is recovered in the condenser due to its higher melting and boiling points compared to the second carbonate.
This innovation provides a sustainable solution for recycling organic carbonates from lithium ion batteries.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for recovering organic carbonates in an electrolytic solution of a waste lithium ion battery is provided. the organic carbonates include a first carbonate and a second carbonate having a higher melting point and a higher boiling point than the first carbonate. the method includes performing a temperature adjustment process in which an internal temperature of a drier in which the waste lithium ion battery is accommodated is kept in a first temperature range, an internal temperature of a pipe extending to below the drier is kept in a second temperature range, and an internal temperature of a condenser connected to the drier via the pipe is kept in a third temperature range, and performing a recovery process of reducing internal pressures of the drier, the pipe, and the condenser from a normal pressure to a first pressure and recovering the first carbonate in the condenser.
