Spent LIBs were physically treated for hand assembly, electric discharged, crushed and classified. The following conclusions can be drawn based on the experimental results: A battery module which are series with 8 unit cells are composed of 18% frame body, 12% heat-reduce plate, 70% battery cells. In this battery cell, Li(Co_(1-x-y)Ni_xMn_y)O_2 as a cathode active material is used. By the physical treatment process already developed in our previous study, we could get the crushed and concentrated powders containing metallic valuables such as Li, Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, and Al. It will be performed on leaching-separation/purification-recovery tests and also on possibility of reuse for the cathode active material of LIBs.
