Issues of Fire Hazard of Lithium-ion Batteries in the Recycling Process

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the fire hazards of lithium-ion batteries during recycling. We analyze the state of municipal solid waste management and lithium-ion batteries market trends to forecast emerging ignition risks at the disposal stage. Current data on fires at municipal solid waste storage/processing facilities caused by lithium-ion batteries combustion are synthesized. Analysis reveals a correlation between increasing fire incidents and deficiencies in collection infrastructure underdeveloped recycling technologies. Based on modern fire-risk mitigation approaches, we propose solutions including (alongside recycling methods) implementing ignition monitoring systems (e.g., drones with thermal cameras) at municipal solid waste landfills for rapid detection of lithium-ion batteries related hotspots.
