3.2 Pyrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy is a process to make physical and chemical transformations in materials such as metals, minerals, and ores. Pyrometallurgy is also used to produce alloys and compounds or separate metals by density. This process involves high temperatures between 500°C and 2000°C [57].Pyrometallurgy is one of the processes used in battery recycling.

Cobalt generally does not form the oxy-sulphate intermediate product. Cobalt sulphate, copper sulphate, and copper oxy-sulphates are generally soluble in mild leaching conditions. In the overall sulphation process, some excess oxygen is required in order to shift the reactions towards the formation of the metal sulphates and oxy-sulphates.
