Single-pass Impurity Removal With No Byproducts & Optimized Yield
ElectraMet’s electrochemical process selectively isolates and recovers bulk and trace copper and manganese impurities from lithium, cobalt, and nickel streams to optimize the value of finished materials to battery grade specifications. ElectraMet extracts impurities in a single pass, eliminating rework, yield loss, and byproducts typical with sulfide precipitation, ion exchange, or membrane technologies. Impurities removed can be sold for profit and enable increased profitability, circularity, and sustainability. ElectraMet provides a competitive edge to battery recyclers by allowing them to maximize their product quality and value.
Conventional impurity removal methods have a fundamental flaw; while they have selectivity for copper and manganese, they also target cobalt and nickel, resulting in a yield loss of up to 5%. ElectraMet uses targeted electrochemistry and material science to isolate and recover impurities with greater than 99.99% selectivity. Eliminate questions about rework, production bottlenecks, and feedstock impact on process viability by selecting ElectraMet as your impurity removal specialist.
Lithium-ion batteries contain an assortment of high-value materials. ElectraMet balances impurity removal with recycling economics to eliminate rework and assure specification with the goal of optimizing operating margin at your facility. ElectraMet delivers specification regardless of the target, so battery-grade specification for our NMC recycling customers is not an issue but a reality.
ElectraMet customers maintain 100% planned process uptime, ensuring efficiency and consistency in operations.
ElectraMet's high specificity solution is purpose built to deliver stringent purity specifications, ensuring that the recycled product exceeds industry standards.
Customers adopting ElectraMet's technology experience a 1-8% yield increase, enhancing the overall profitability of their recycling operations.
Customers find that low energy consumption, reduction in inbound/outbound hauling, and elimination of toxic byproducts make it the best Scope 3 option for EV battery recycling.
ElectraMet's process eliminates toxic byproducts like sulfates that require downstream removal. ElectraMet's byproducts are oxygen and protons.
ElectraMet monitors physical and operational parameters to deliver real-time feedback on performance. This enables staff to focus on production and recovery optimization.
ElectraMet consistently outperforms specification in delivering less than 0.5 mg/L for both copper and manganese impurities.
ElectraMet’s process is 99.99% specific to copper and/or manganese in the EV Battery Recycling process. Unless specifically targeting cobalt or nickel, it is not removed.
ElectraMet removes manganese and copper impurities across a wide pH range. More information is required to assess implementation of an ElectraMet system.
