Electra
Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM) ( TSX-V: ELBM), a
processor of low-carbon, ethically-sourced battery materials just announced the
first customer shipment of nickel-cobalt produced at its refinery complex north
of Toronto from recycled battery material. Using Electra’s proprietary
hydrometallurgical process, the nickel-cobalt mixed hydroxide precipitate
product ("MHP") was produced in the Company’s black mass recycling
trial currently underway at its permitted, low-carbon hydrometallurgical
refinery.
From the news: "The
first customer delivery of product from our refinery marks another important
milestone on the path to commercializing our black mass refining
capabilities," said Trent Mell, CEO of Electra. "Since the trial’s
launch late in 2022, we have proven that our proprietary hydrometallurgical process
works successfully, produces high-quality products, including lithium carbonate
and nickel-cobalt MHP, and supports compelling economics."
Continued: Black
mass is the industry term used to describe the material remaining once expired
lithium-ion batteries are shredded and all casings removed. Black mass contains
high-value elements, including nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese and graphite,
that once recovered, can be recycled to new produce new lithium-ion batteries.
Electra
launched its black mass trial at the end of December 2022, with the goal of
validating its hydrometallurgical process in a plant-scale setting and testing
its refinery equipment.
On
June 29th, Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS), a pioneer
in sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling announced the
successful completion of its groundbreaking Li AquaRefining™ recycling pilot,
transition to 24/5 operations and production of high-purity, saleable
quantities of sustainably recycled battery materials.
From the news: The
Company completed the pilot facility commissioning with the recovery of both
cobalt and manganese dioxide, completing the suite of valuable metals
(including high-purity lithium hydroxide, nickel, and copper) the Company
reclaims from spent lithium batteries using its patented AquaRefining
technology. Aqua Metals believes this advance makes it the first fully
operational lithium battery recycler using advanced electro-hydrometallurgy -
replacing polluting furnaces and intensive chemicals typical of recycling with
electricity to separate the critical metals from spent lithium batteries.
Continued: “Completing
commissioning and moving into 24/5 operations at our Li AquaRefining Pilot is a
tremendous milestone for Aqua Metals and represents the future of sustainable
lithium battery recycling in the US and beyond,” said Ben Taecker, Chief
Engineering & Operations Officer at Aqua Metals. “Not only are we
demonstrating the scalability of our solution, but also our significant
advantages in recovery rates, emissions reductions, and worker safety compared
to current battery recycling facilities.”
The
Company has completed the pilot - from finalized design through to operations -
in roughly eight months’ time, and with a transition to 24-hour operations, is
scaling the pilot facility to a capacity of 75 tons per annum (tpa) of
processed black mass input. Based on the success of the pilot, the Company also
continues the simultaneous phased development and commissioning of its first
commercial-scale facility, which was initiated earlier this year and is well
underway. The first phase of Aqua Metals’ recycling campus will be designed to
process 3,000tpa black mass, for which the Company has secured both sufficient
supply of black mass to reach scale and is in the process of finalizing
off-take agreements for the recycled materials. The Company expects that at
current metals prices and projected processing costs at scale, its Phase 1
recycling facility should generate positive cash flow.
Aqua
Metals intends to sell the high-purity and battery-grade materials produced at
the pilot to metals buyers and start generating initial revenue from recycled
metals in the third quarter. The Company will also continue distributing its
high-purity production samples to existing and potential customers in battery
and cathode manufacturing, advancing ongoing partnership and long term
off-taker discussions.
According
to Energy portal.eu, “The
automotive batteries segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in
the battery recycling market from 2023 to 2030. Lithium-ion batteries, which
are commonly used in the automotive industry, contain valuable metals such as
lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. Recycling these batteries not
only reduces the demand for new mining operations but also preserves natural
resources.”
The
bottom line for global governments and EV manufacturers; if you want to sell
the sustainability story you need a plan to recycle the batteries. With all of
the money at stake, as well as the motivation to really save this planet, there
is no shortage of innovation driving this new cleantech future.
