Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for isolating purified water from a waste stream, such as, e.g., a waste stream formed in the manufacture or recycling of batteries, and further e.g., processes for isolating purified water suitable for use in downstream industrial processes from a waste stream generated during delithiation of a lithium metal oxide material.

Abstract: Provided are processes for extracting lithium and optionally nickel from a Nickel(II)/Lithium(I) (Ni2+/Li+) solution. The extraction is optionally performed in a series of steps with counterflow of aqueous and organic flows to thereby produce a lithium poor solution. The lithium poor solution may be treated so that remaining Ni in the lithium poor solution may be directly precipitated therefrom in the form of a Ni salt. Once complete, the process provides for recoverable nickel and/or lithium that may be recycled into batteries or sold for other uses.

Abstract: Provided are processes for extracting nickel and lithium from a Ni2+/Li+ solution. The process for extracting nickel and lithium includes providing a Ni2+/Li+ solution comprising an amount of lithium and an amount of nickel, treating the Ni2+/Li+ solution with an alkaline agent to adjust the pH of the Ni2+/Li+ solution to between about 1.0 to about 10.0, and treating the Ni2+/Li+ solution with a nickel selective extractant, the nickel selective extractant suitable to extract nickel from the Ni2+/Li+ solution at said pH to thereby produce a Li+ solution with less than 1000 parts per million Ni2+. Once complete, the process provides for recoverable nickel and/or lithium that may be recycled into batteries or sold for other uses.
