Common Solid-State Applications in Wichita
Recycling Process
Solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolytes with ceramic or polymer solid electrolytes. Recycling involves mechanical separation of the solid electrolyte from electrode materials, followed by chemical processing to recover lithium, cathode metals, and solid electrolyte compounds. The absence of flammable liquid electrolyte makes dismantling safer than conventional Li-ion.
Environmental Impact
Solid-state batteries are expected to be safer and more energy-dense than conventional lithium-ion. While the solid electrolyte is less hazardous than liquid counterparts, cathode materials still contain valuable cobalt, nickel, or manganese that should be recovered. Establishing recycling processes now prepares for the anticipated wave of solid-state battery adoption.
Regulations for Solid-State Recycling in Kansas
Battery recycling in United States is overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Battery recycling in the US is regulated under RCRA and the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act. Individual states may impose additional requirements. Lead-acid battery recycling rates exceed 99% nationally. Kansas regulates battery disposal through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) under K.A.R. 28-31. The state prohibits lead-acid battery landfill disposal and promotes recycling through county-level household hazardous waste programs. Solid-State batteries are classified as Generally less hazardous than liquid-electrolyte Li-ion. Proper handling, transport, and processing must follow hazardous material regulations specific to this classification.
