"Treatment includes the safe dismantling of large industrial"Treatment includes the safe dismantling of large industrial batteries, including electric vehicle batteries, without crushing or shredding the cells. The advantage of this process is that operators and the environment are not exposed to hazardous battery compounds.
In the pyro metallurgy process, our smelting technology transforms the end of life battery materials into a metal alloy, containing cobalt, nickel, lithium and copper. Thanks to the innovative processing upgrades, our technology recovers the energy present in the batteries resulting in nearly no additional energy input, while treating potentially harmful gases.
Finally, the alloy is further refined in an hydro metallurgic process to recover the metals separately.
The recovered metals are then delivered in battery-grade quality allowing its recirculation into the production of new Li-ion batteries."
M2CAM / One-Pot based batteries would speed up the recycling due to no harmful gases. An overlooked additional, distant benefit.
