Recovery of rare earths and base metals from spent nickel-metal hydride batteries by sequential sulphuric acid leaching and selective precipitations
Therefore, the present paper reports a feasible hydrometallurgical process flowsheet for the recovery of REMs and valuable metals from spent NiMH batteries. More than 90% dissolution of REMs (Nd, Ce and La) was achieved using 2 M H 2 SO 4 at 75 °C in 60 min in the presence of 10% H 2 O 2 (v / v).
Typically, NiMHBs contain 10 wt% of rare earth elements (REEs) including La, Ce, Nd, and Pr. However, the majority of these REEs (>90%) are being discarded in landfills each year. The scarcity of these metals and the concentrated distribution of their ore deposits in only a few countries have prompted significant concern globally.

Graphical abstract Various techniques have been proposed for the recovery of REEs from Ni-MH batteries, including hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods. Hydrometallurgical methods involve the extraction and purification of REEs from aqueous media, while in pyrometallurgical methods, REEs are recovered at high temperatures.
The process involves the acid leaching of the active material and the recovery of REEs in the forms of oxides. The REEs are then metallized through a molten salt electrolysis process and subsequently reutilized to manufacture NiMH battery anode .
