A team from metals research institute SWERIM in Sweden reports on a smelting reduction process to recover cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium simultaneously from spent Li-ion batteries. The presence of slag may retain some Co, Ni, Mn, and Li in the slag due to the inherent nature of the slag. —Hu et al. —Hu et al.
