The key difference
Our efficient dry Li-ion battery recovery technology to extract critical components
Two stages to complete recycling after deep discharging batteries via a unique process of harnessing the residual energy that provides as much as 50% of our energy requirements:
How we recover Li-ion batteries
Recovery
Recovery of black mass under dry mechanical, low temperature shredding methods without incineration, incorporating patented vacuum drying technology.
Refining
Refining of black mass as an optional service by way of advanced hydrometallurgical methods to arrive at battery grade material (e.g. lithium hydroxides and lithium carbonates).
Competitive Advantage
In safety and sustainability
-
No formation of fluoro-compounds e.g. fluorophosphates, carbonyl fluorides
-
No emission of hydrogen fluorides
-
Organic materials are treated, volatile organic compounds are removed
-
Recovered materials are deactivated
-
No oxidation of recovered materials
-
Low risk of electrochemical reactions
-
Non-explosive, non-flammable
-
Recovered black mass is largely dry
-
Post-processing will yield pure materials
