Batteries

Battery recycling is essential for reducing environmental harm, as batteries contain metals and chemicals like lead, lithium, and cadmium, which can be hazardous if not properly managed. Recycling batteries allows valuable materials to be recovered and reused, conserving resources and reducing pollution. Proper disposal and recycling prevent toxic substances from contaminating soil and water, promoting a cleaner environment.
Mechanical Processing
Our mechanical processing system begins by discharging and disassembling lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to recover valuable materials, such as copper, aluminium, black mass, and polyolefin (separator plastic film). The black mass obtained during this process is further refined using a hydrometallurgical process to extract even more valuable materials. By using this approach, we can recover a high percentage of the raw materials in the batteries, reducing the need for new mining and reducing waste in landfills.
Hydrometallurgical Processing
We use water and solvents to extract valuable materials like graphite and salts from the black mass obtained through our process. These salts are a precursor to critical raw materials used in new Li-ion batteries, promoting a circular economy and reducing the need for new mining.
