Not much information available though. http://www.toxco.com/processes.html http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-20.htm yeah finding real info on how its done for lithium ion batteries is not very plentiful. theres a bunch on how they do it for regular lead acid and ni-cad batteries though. i read an article similar to the second one last night but it didn't really have much info on the process itself and what sorts of challenges we have in processing them. Omega_M You can find publications on this topic. But you will need subscriptions to the journals, if you want to read the papers. There's one which may be useful to you.

During this period new directives have been published specially in Europe. The aim of this paper is to review the current status of technologies applied to recycle portable batteries, e.g. lead acid will not be described here. Essentially, this paper presents the current status of the technologies involved in the collection, sorting and processing of portable batteries. A very general paper. It gives a broad overview of the battery processing technologies.
