ISO 21068 Chemical Analysis Testing of Spent Battery Electrolytes
The ISO 21068 standard is pivotal in ensuring that the chemical composition and safety parameters of spent battery electrolytes are accurately determined. This service at Eurolab involves a comprehensive approach to testing, which includes sample collection, preparation, analysis, and reporting.
During this process, our experts meticulously collect samples from various sources such as recycling plants, manufacturing facilities, or end-of-life batteries. These samples are then prepared for analysis according to the stringent requirements outlined in ISO 21068. The primary goal is to ascertain the presence and concentration of key chemical components including metals like lithium (Li), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), and other relevant elements.
The testing methodology involves multiple steps, starting with a preliminary examination of the battery electrolyte using spectroscopic techniques. This is followed by more detailed analyses such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for precise quantification of trace metals. Additionally, voltammetry and potentiometric titrations are employed to evaluate redox properties and pH levels.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 21068 guidelines to ensure reliable results. Compliance with these standards is crucial not only for regulatory purposes but also for optimizing the recovery processes in battery recycling. Understanding the chemical composition of spent electrolytes allows for more efficient extraction methods, reducing waste and environmental impact.
The importance of this service extends beyond mere compliance; it plays a critical role in advancing sustainable practices within the battery industry. By providing accurate data on the chemical makeup, manufacturers can better design recycling systems that maximize resource recovery while minimizing ecological footprint.
