General information
- Short Summary
- A German SME with unique know-how, innovative processes and facilities for lithium battery recycling and lithium recovery in high yields is interested in joining European research projects where they can contribute their know-how and further investigate and scale processes.
- Full Description
-
A German company is one of the first recycling companies in Europe that can recover lithium in high yields from LIB (Li-Ion) batteries for various applications.
The company‘s technology is characterized by its market maturity. It is also the first in the EU to be able to separate lithium carbonate with a high degree of purity in addition to a cobalt, nickel and manganese concentrate. The market maturity and high purity of strategic metals are unique selling points compared to all other projects, most of which are still on a pilot plant scale. In addition, the CLIMA process (CO2-minimized recycling of lithium-ion batteries) is characterized by low power consumption, better economic efficiency and minimized need for operating resources compared to other processes.
Deactivation of LIBs is a new key process in upstream in terms of capacity and costs, the scalability of deactivation process is a crucial success factor. The quality of recycled black mass is determined by the upstream process.
Lithium separation from black mass requires a completely new approach. The scalability of the lithium recycling process is a crucial success factor.
There are thus stll many aspects for further investigation, in order to establish a functional recycling industry in EU. The German company is interested in joining relevant research projects. - Advantages and Innovations
