The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has significantly increased the demand for lithium-ion battery recycling. These batteries contain valuable metals and pose environmental and health risks if mishandled. This article explores recycling processes with a focus on radiation safety and material recovery. Hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods are identified as efficient techniques, ensuring safety and promoting sustainability while recovering materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. The findings underscore the importance of radiation safety in advancing circular economy practices.
