According to Sinochem News, on April 22, the first phase of Hubei Ruipai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ruipai Technology), located in Xiangcheng Economic Development Zone, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, began operations with its production facility capable of manufacturing 50,000 tons per year of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials. With a total investment of 2 billion yuan, this project is a key benchmark project for the recycling of new energy materials in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. Ruipai Technology adopts a mature wet recycling + regeneration technology approach to establish a closed-loop full value chain for the recovery of used batteries and the regeneration of cathode materials. This project is equipped with automatic pneumatic conveying equipment for black powder, preventing dust dispersion and reducing the loss of auxiliary materials ； Innovative oxidation leaching process to significantly reduce hydrogen peroxide consumption ； By integrating MES and DCS control systems, it enables seamless integration of production, testing, and process data, thereby improving both production efficiency and environmental protection standards. The lithium iron phosphate cathode material project (Phase 1) focuses on the production of high-performance lithium iron phosphate cathode materials, which can be used in power batteries for new energy vehicles as well as in energy storage batteries. Reportedly, leveraging the advantages of Xiangyang’s new energy vehicle industry cluster, Ruipai Technology is rapidly expanding its regional recycling network for end-of-life power batteries. This effort aims to establish a complete industrial chain encompassing “materials—batteries—finished vehicles—recycling,” thereby effectively addressing the local shortfall in the circular utilization of new energy materials.
