EMISSIONS CONTROL SOLUTIONS FOR THE LITHIUM BATTERY INDUSTRY
The global demand for lithium batteries is rapidly increasing due to the urgent need to reduce climate change and transition away from fossil fuels. This demand is driven by the growth of electric vehicles, personal electronic devices, e-bikes, solar power backup storage, power tools and medical equipment. The electric future will be powered by lithium batteries and CECO Environmental is here to meet the emissions control needs for the entire lifecycle of lithium batteries, including mining, processing, manufacturing and recycling.
LITHIUM MINING & PROCESSING
CECO offers contaminant control solutions for various steps in the lithium mining and processing process, such as powder processing, storage, handling and packaging. Our solutions include Bin Vents, Dust Collectors, Scrubbers and Baghouses.
LITHIUM MINING AND PROCESSING FAQ
CECO provide emissions control solutions for mining steps such as pond liming and lime silo loading and discharge, soda ash loading and handling, mix tank lime silo, rotary dryer, carbonate milling, packaging and air classification and anhydrous lithium hydroxide (blending, compacting, granulating, screening, anhydrous drying).
CECO provides emissions control solutions for particulate matter and fumes and gasses produced during this early stage of the lithium battery lifecycle. (Potential Emissions)
Emissions by step include:
- Extraction Step (Particulate matter (PM), fumes / gases)
- Pond liming, lime silo loading and discharge (PM)
- Soda ash loading and handling (PM)
- Mix tank lime silo (PM)
- Rotary dryer (PM)
- Lithium carbonate milling, packaging and air classification (PM)

- Cathode oven (VOC, HAP)
- Electrolyte filling & sealing (VOC, HAP)
- Cell degassing (VOC)
- Cell discharge (VOC, HCl)
BATTERY RECYCLING
CECO dust collection systems deliver proven solutions for the recycling of lithium batteries and improves environmental safety and air quality during dry/wet shredding, screening, metal recovery, packaging, storage, grinding and graphite recovery. Our VOC Cyclones collect and recover materials and Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs) and Scrubbers treat exhaust streams during thermal processing steps, including the decomposition of binders, electrolytes and other organics.
LITHIUM BATTERY RECYCLING FAQ
CECO offers proven emissions control solutions for many recycling steps, including: dry / wet shredding, screening, metal recovery via leaching & extraction, packaging of salts, material storage and calcination, grinding & packaging.
PM, HAP, VOCs and acid gases are all possible during lithium battery recycling operations. CECO provides emissions control solutions for each emission type, (potential emissions) including:
Recycling Step:
- Dry / wet shredding, screening (PM, HAP, VOC)
- Metal recovery via leaching & extraction, Hydro-metallurgical (PM,acid gases, mists, fumes)
- Packaging of salts (PM)
- Material storage (PM)
- Calcination, grinding & packaging (PM, VOC)
