Abstract


Environmental concerns are increasing due to the rising output of electronic trash (also known as "e-waste"). Lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in electronic equipment as high-density energy storage, are one of the sources of e-waste. Due to the abundance of metal resources and potential environmental hazards, recycling lithium-ion battery trash has drawn a lot of interest. Recovery of valuable metals contained in lithium-ion batteries, such as Cu-foil, is one of the efforts to overcome environmental pollution due to copper metal. The hydrometallurgical method is used in the recovery process, which includes leaching using nitric acid and precipitation using oxalic acid. The material obtained was copper oxide (CuO), which was analyzed using XRD, SEM-EDX, and FTIR to determine the characteristics of the sample. XRD analysis showed that the crystallinity of CuO was by the database. SEM images confirm the presence of agglomeration and inhomogeneous particle distribution in the samples. FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of the CuO phase, and the EDX results showed the sample’s purity, consisting of Cu and O elements. Based on the research, CuO was successfully produced from the recovery of Cu-foil waste.
