Consumption of nickel is continuously increasing and the wastes of secondary battery, ferrite and catalyst containing Ni are also generated periodically. Among those wastes, the aim of this research is the recovery of nickel from used Ni-Cd recharge battery. Battery consisted of Ni 24 wt%, Fe 30 wt% and Cd 18.5 wt%. Metal was recovered by solvent extraction after leaching. Cadmium was leached completely in 1N-HCl and Ni was recovered above 70%. 30 vol% MSP-8 separated Cd and Ni completely from acidic leaching solution. In addition $NH_4NO_3$ as one of ammonium salt type leachants showed an excellent leaching selectivity to Ni and Cd. Ni in leached solution was recovered completely by LIX-extractant and more than 70% of Cd in raffinate was by D2EHPA.

In order to recycle waste nickel-cadmium batteries, cadmium was selectively removed by ion substitution reaction so that cadmium and nickel could be separated efficiently. The electrode powder obtained by crushing the electrode in the waste nickelcadmium battery was leached with sulfuric acid. The cadmium in the nickel-cadmium solution was precipitated with cadmium sulfide by the addition of sodium sulfide. Ion substitution experiments were carried out under various conditions. At the optimum condition with pH = -0.1 and $Na_2S/Cd=2.3$ at room temperature, the residual Cd in the solution was about 100 ppm, and most of it was precipitated with CdS.

니켈/카드뮴 전지는 우수한 물리적, 전기화학적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 개발이후 현재까지 상당히 많은 부분에 사용되고 있다. 현재 고온시 폭발 위험성이 적고 저온시 성능저하가 없어 군장비의 특성상 군용으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이에 군용 발칸포에 사용할 수 있는 초 고율 니켈-카드뮴 축전지를 개발하였으며, 그 결과 IEC 60632 규격을 만족하는 국내산 초고율 니켈-카드뮴 축전지를 개발하여 각종 산업체 및 군부대에서 고가의 설비와 특수 설비 등을 효율적 관리와 기기 수명연장 많은 도움이 되리라 사려된다.

Cementation is one of economical and efficient recycling method precipitating the metal ion in solution by adding another active metal. In this study for optimizing cadmium recovery efficiency, it was performed as a function of the effect of pH, temperature, particle size, and input amount of zinc in 0.1 M $CdSO_4$ solution and Ni-Cd battery leaching solutions, respectively. The particle size of zinc and temperature were key factors for Cd cementation and it was confirmed that the input amount of 2.6 of Zn/Cd ratio using granular-type zinc was optimal condition for selective Cd recovery efficiency at $25^{\circ}C$.

군수용 이차전지는 납축전지, 니켈-카드뮴전지 등이 주로 응용되고 있다. 군수용 전지의 경우 민수용에 비해 사용온도범위가 넓고, 진동, 충격 등의 환경시험규격이 까다로우며, 높은 신뢰성이 보장되어야만 한다. 또한 최근 환경문제의 부각으로 니켈-카드뮴전지는 차츰 설자리를 잃어가고 있으며, 납축전지의 경우 오염물질의 배출뿐만 아니라 저온성능이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이의 일환으로 최근 선진외국에서는 이를 대체하기 위한 연료전지, 리튬-이온, 리튬-폴리머, 니켈-수소전지 등의 개발 및 적용이 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 연료전지의 경우 상용화가 아직 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 리튬계열 배터리의 경우 이상상태에서 폭발하는 특성을 갖고 있어 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 군용 니켈-수소전지를 대상으로 특성을 알아보고 배터리의 합리적 운용을 돕기 위한 배터리관리시스템에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

This study focused on the synthesis of the nickel hydroxide using ammonium sulfate in leaching solution from waste nickel-cadmium batteries. The effect of pH, temperature and the input amount of ammonium sulfate in leaching solution was investigated. The ammonium nickel sulfate with high purity was obtained in acidic leaching solution and the solution temperature of $60^{\circ}C$. The suitable molar ratio of the input amount of ammonium sulfate to nickel in solution is 2:1. The impurity about 1.4 at.% of Cd was included in the nickel hydroxide precipitates when ammonium nickel sulfate was used. At the process using sodium sulfide which precipitates the cadmium in solution, nickel and iron compounds were precipitated together.

The purpose of this study is to recover valuable metals from spent batteries using a dry process. We focused on the effect of the smelting temperature on the composition of recovered solid and liquid products and collected gaseous products. After removal of the cover, the spent battery was left in NaCl solution and discharged. Then, the spent battery was made into a powder form through a crushing process. The smelting of the spent battery was performed in a tubular electric furnace in an oxygen atmosphere. For spent lithium-ion batteries, the recovery yield of the solid product was 80.1 wt% at a reaction temperature of 850 ℃, and the final product had 27.2 wt% of cobalt as well as other metals such as lithium, copper, and aluminum. Spent nickel-hydrogen batteries had a recovery yield of 99.2 wt% at a reaction temperature of 850 ℃ with about 37.6 wt% of nickel and other metals including iron. For spent nickel-cadmium batteries, the yield decreased to 65.4 wt% because of evaporation with increasing temperature. At 1050 ℃, the recovered metals were nickel (41 wt%) and cadmium (12.9 wt%). Benzene and toluene, which were not detected with the other secondary waste batteries, were detected in the gaseous product. The results of this study can be used as basic data for future research on the dry recycling process of spent secondary batteries.

In order to efficiently recycle waste industrial nickel-cadmium batteries, anodic and cathodic materials were crushed by a cut mill and classified by sieves. We used wet magnetic separation method for eliminating iron components from the crushed powders. In addition, the acid leaching test for the obtained anode and cathode powders was carried out under various conditions by means of the wet process. At the optimum leaching conditions with 2.0 M $H_2SO_4$ at $90^{\circ}C$, 15 wt $H_2O_2$ and L/S=20 for 3 hours, the leaching efficiency of nickel and cadmium was 99%, respectively.
