We have already commented on this blog at some time the problem that the thousands of tons of batteries that will reach the end of their useful life in the coming decades can pose, we have also commented how used vehicle batteries can be used for other solutions of energy storage but, this only moves the problem into the future but does not solve it.
Ya hemos comentado alguna vez en este blog el problema que pueden llegar a plantear las miles de toneladas de baterías que llegarán al final de su vida útil en las próximas décadas, hemos comentado también como las baterías usadas de los vehículos pueden ser aprovechadas para otras soluciones de almacenamiento de energía pero, esto solo desplaza el problema hacia el futuro pero no lo resuelve.
Northvolt is a Swedish company based in Stockholm dedicated to the development of batteries that has the financial support of companies such as Goldman Sachs or the BMW group, it has designed the Revolt program with which it aims to combat the problems of both obtaining raw materials as well as the recycling of batteries.

Northvolt has announced the construction of the first lithium-ion battery made with a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathode using fully recycled materials from other used batteries using a hydrometallurgical treatment to isolate the metals and separate them from the impurities in the waste .
Northvolt ha anunciado la construcción de la primera batería de iones de litio fabricada con un cátodo de níquel-manganeso-cobalto (NMC) utilizando materiales totalmente reciclados de otras baterías usadas utilizando un tratamiento hidrometalúrgico para aislar los metales poder separarlos de las impurezas de los desechos.
Through this procedure, up to 95% of the materials that make up a battery can be recovered with a level of purity comparable to that of the materials obtained through mining procedures, now that this milestone has been achieved, the company will focus on the mass production of these recycled.batteries.
Mediante este procedimiento se puede recuperar hasta el 95% de los materiales que componen una batería con un nivel de pureza comparable al de los materiales obtenidos mediante procedimientos de minería, ahora que ha conseguido este hito la empresa se enfocará en la producción masiva de estas baterías recicladas.

Northvolt will begin the construction of a plant early next year and plans to start production in 2023 to achieve the recycling of 125,000 tons of batteries per year for which it will use batteries that have finished their useful life and the waste produced on its own plant.
Northvolt comenzará a principios del próximo año la construcción de una planta y planea empezar la producción en el año 2023 para conseguir el reciclado de 125.000 toneladas de baterías por año para lo que utilizará baterías que hayan terminado su vida útil y los desechos producidos en su propia planta.
With this operation, it is not only possible to avoid that the environment is filled with mountains of used batteries but also reduces the need to extract these minerals from mines that, apart from being expensive, originate in countries that do not understand very well what the human rights of its workers and citizens are.
Con esta operación no solo se consigue evitar que el medio ambiente se llene de montañas de baterías usadas sino que además reduce la necesidad de extraer estos minerales de las minas que aparte de costosos tienen su origen en países que no entienden muy bien eso de los derechos humanos de sus trabajadores y ciudadanos.

Greetings @mauromar excellent news that you share with us friend, this is an example that when you want you can and this inventiveness can get to make the principle for an energy renovation from pre-existing materials. Success in your work.

I think there are many people like these that really care about but you can't see them on TV.

No doubt this is part of the phenomenon of recycling, to give a breath to the world, to give space where it is running out.
thanks for sharing

This is good news, and the best thing is that it benefits the environment. With this technique, the recycled battery is just as effective as the new one. It is a historic achievement, we hope that they continue to advance so that the useful life of these batteries is extended.

Eso es un gran problema resulto, pero el problema viene de las fabricas que utiliza la obsolescencia programada para sus intereses, por ejemplo, de la bateria de laptop cuando se daña, solo una normalmente se daña, la otras estan 100% operativas podiendo ser reutilizadas y no recliclada en fabricas, no tenemos cultura para reparar. saludos.
