The market for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) is growing rapidly, the demand for lithium (Li) in the form of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), which is the most common lithium mineralization form, is therefore also increasing significantly. Li is conventionally extracted as Li2CO3 using sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) to precipitate Li ions in an aqueous Li solution. However, Na2CO3 can also be replaced by CO2, which highlights the potential of using CO2 as a sustainable and economically viable alternative. This review focuses on technologies that utilize CO2 for Li2CO2 precipitation. First, the use of CO2 gas and Na2CO3 as carbonate sources are compared, and the need to consider important operating conditions with CO2 bubbling are then presented. Attempts made to increase the specific surface area of the reaction surface to enhance the utilization of CO2 gas and to produce micro-sized Li2CO3 powders are then reported, and the limitations associated with CO2 gas utilization are discussed. Although CO2 precipitation has limitations in terms of efficiency, scalability, and the fine-tuning of reaction conditions, this review shows that if CO2 precipitation technology is further developed, its use could be key to extracting and recycling next-generation Li.

The recycling of lithium batteries is essential for a sustainable energy transition. However, impurities in the products obtained from the black mass can lower their market value. In this work, lithium carbonate, which has the highest market share among lithium‐based products, is purified using distilled water at controlled temperature, time and stirring speed. The purification process involves dissolving lithium carbonate in distilled water at low temperatures (between 0 and 10°C), followed by crystallization through water evaporation. Optimal conditions yielded lithium carbonate with a purity of 99.66% after two stages of purification. The dependence of the variables on the final purity was deeply analyzed and the thermodynamics of the reaction was studied, confirming the exothermic nature the dissolution reaction.
