Disclosed is a method of recovering lithium from a battery containing lithium such as a lithium ion secondary battery. The lithium-containing member of the battery is dissolved with an acidic liquid, and an alkaline material is added to the obtained lithium solution to transform a transition metal which may be dissolved in the lithium solution into a metal hydroxide precipitation, whereby the metal hydroxide precipitate is separated from the lithium solution. The lithium solution is then dried to obtain a solid containing the lithium, and the lithium is eluted from the solid with a non-aqueous solvent. Retrieving lithium from the lithium eluate is accomplished by use of a cation exchanger.

Disclosed is a method of reclaiming a cathodic active material of lithium ion secondary batteries. The lithium ion secondary battery is broken and the casing and the content are separated to remove the casing from the content. The content is dissolved into a mineral acid to separate remaining non-dissolved content from the mineral acid to obtain a liquid containing the cathodic active material represented by the formula: LiMO2, where M is a transition metal element: cobalt, nickel and manganese. A lithium salt is added to the liquid, and the cathodic active material is recovered from the liquid in the form of a mixture of lithium compound and the transition metal compound, which is calcined and reclaimed into the cathodic active material.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for pyrolytically decomposing waste plastic which may contain halogen-containing polymer such as PVC. The plastic is heated at 270° to 350° C., whereby a plasticizer contained in the plastic material is decomposed and vaporized, and a chlorine-containing polymer is dechlorinated to produce hydrogen chloride. The vaporized decomposition matter and the hydrogen chloride are removed from the plastic, and the vaporized decomposition matter is separated from the hydrogen chloride. Then isolated plastic is further heated to 450° C. or higher to produce a pyrolysis product. Alternatively, the former heating step is divided into two steps of: heating at a temperature lower than 270° C., whereby a plasticizer is decomposed; and heating to 270° to 350° C., whereby a chlorine-containing polymer contained in the plastic material is dechlorinated. Accordingly, the decomposition matter of plasticizer and hydrogen chloride are separately removed from the plastic.
