In view of the difference in coordination capacity of the glycine ion (Gly−), a selective leaching process for treating with spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the alkaline glycinate system was proposed. The effects of retention time, leaching temperature, concentration of glycine ligand, liquid-solid ratio (L/S), pH, stirring speed, and H2O2 dosage on the leaching efficiency of valuable metals and the dissolution of impurities were investigated. When the spent LIBs were leached in 3 mol/L gl
