Analysis of the chemical composition of spent cylindrical Li-ion batteries for PC, and investigation of the separation of each metal (Li, Co, Ni, Cu) from the Li-ion batteries were carried out by burning under a vacuum, crushing and screening, in order to recover rare metals from the Li-ion batteries. The cylindrical Li-ion batteries have the structure that the multi-layered electrodes with four−layered foils composed of anode, cathode and two separators are enrolled cylindrically around the core steel bar. Seven kinds of metal such as Li, Co, Ni, Fe, Mn, Al and Cu mainly exist in the Li-ion battery. The whole mass of Li-ion battery used in this study is 39.7 g. The mass of Li, Co, Ni and Cu is 1.38 g, 10.3 g, 0.236 g and 4.62 g, respectively, in one piece of Li-ion battery, while other elements (graphite) are 23.16 g. Three size fractions of 150-125, 125-106 and 106-90 μm obtained by crushing and screening after burning under a vacuum and removing stainless case show almost similar compositions. On the other hand, the size fraction of +425 μm contains a lot of foil-like materials. The separation of Al and Cu with a larger particle size from the crushed product of a burned Li-ion battery is accomplished by using a 425 μm sieve. It is important to separate the foil-like elements such as Al, Cu and Fe from the crushed products of electrode materials by using a sieve with a larger mesh size, for example 5-10 mm.
