Disclosed are approaches for recycling LIBs where lithium is recovered before the other node metals in order to increase the amount of lithium recovered. For such approaches, the other node metals need not be further refined or recovered and, despite the small loss of these other node metals as impurities in the first-recovered lithium, the available alternative dispositions for these other node metals—such as in the form of multi-metal-oxides (MMO)—can render the recovery of lithium before the other node metals to be advantageous. Several such approaches may feature nitration, roasting, lithium trapping, and/or other innovative features to facilitate greater and purer recoveries of the target LIB components.

Disclosed is a fast switch-off circuit for a charging tube of a battery management system, which includes a control circuit, a pull-down discharge circuit, and a discharge detection circuit. The control circuit synchronously switches on the pull-down discharge circuit when switching off the charging tube; and switches off the pull-down discharge circuit when detecting a trigger signal. The pull-down discharge circuit pulls down a gate voltage of the charging tube to a ground potential so as to discharge fast, when being switched on. The discharge detection circuit generates and transmits the trigger signal to the control circuit, when the gate voltage of the charging tube drops to a low-level threshold or a pull-down time of the charging tube reaches a time threshold, after the pull-down discharge circuit is switched on. The fast switch-off circuit ensures fast switch-off for a charging tube of a battery management system, while minimizing power consumption.
