Credit: Jenny Woodbery/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a robotic disassembly system for spent electric vehicle battery packs to safely and efficiently recycle and reuse critical materials while reducing toxic waste.
The team also see opportunities to apply the same kind of disassembly system to electric vehicle drive trains for recovery of materials such as rare earth magnets, copper, steel and intact power electronics.
The design of the disassembly system must consider the analysis of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) 1 of the area around the battery pack and, if necessary, adopt tools enabled to work in the corresponding ATEX zone.
The automated system has been in development since July 2019 with several demonstrations and was developed as part of DOE’s Critical Materials Institute. Thus far, the robotic disassembly process has disassembled a few dozen batteries, McIntyre said, concentrating instead on handling a variety of pack configurations.
Based on the review of several literature sources, Tan et al. divided the battery disassembly process at the module-level into four steps. It starts with removing the battery casing, followed by the extraction of the battery management system (BMS), power electronics, and the thermal management system.
Automated disassembly reduces human exposure to toxic chemicals found inside the batteries and high power levels that are approaching the 900-volt level in some newer vehicles. The automated system, developed as part of DOE’s Critical Materials Institute, or CMI, can be easily reconfigured to any type of battery stack.
