Guidelines for the Targeted Recycling Technology of Waste Lithium Battery Chemicals

1 Scope

GB/T 47393-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering recovering the chemicals from spent lithium batteries as materials rather than as metals - regenerating the cathode compound directly instead of leaching it back to sulfates and rebuilding it, which saves most of the energy of the loop. First edition, in force since 1 October 2026. It was issued on 31 March 2026 and takes effect on 1 October 2026, as a first edition. The document is under the responsibility of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

This document provides the basic principles, circular industrial chain, types of recyclable resources, and other aspects of the targeted recycling of waste lithium battery chemicals. Guidance on recycling pathways and targeted recycling technologies. This document applies to the circular economy sector of recycling and utilizing waste lithium battery chemicals. Other waste battery chemical recycling industries should refer to... Follow the instructions.

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 34695 and GB/T 39161 apply to this document.

4 Basic Principles

4.1 It is advisable to follow the principles of reduction, resource utilization and reuse, and the technology should have achieved a certain scale of application and be proven by practice to be feasible and economically reasonable.

4.2 It is advisable to apply the theory of circular economy development and adopt measures such as cleaner production and comprehensive resource utilization to build a model for enterprises to develop a circular economy.

4.3 It is advisable to reduce resource consumption and waste generation, and improve the resource utilization of solid waste and secondary energy through technological innovation or integration. To achieve the maximization of resource and energy utilization efficiency within the industry.

4.4 It is advisable to adopt a complete integrated supply chain, from battery recycling and dismantling, to recycled lithium-ion battery black powder, metal salts (solutions), precursors, and cathode materials. A well-planned layout is recommended to improve the recycling rate of waste lithium battery chemicals and reduce the generation of solid waste. A distributed layout is not advisable.

4.5 New projects should be located in chemical industrial parks to develop the recycling industry, and existing projects should be relocated to chemical industrial parks.
