Purify Process Streams without Rework or Sacrificing Yield

ElectraMet’s advanced technology removes impurities without generating chemical byproducts or concentrated secondary waste streams. The removal technology is highly specific to the target metal and will not remove non-targeted metals from product streams, optimizing your operating margin and eliminating rework. 

How it Works

Precise Targeting:

ElectraMet technology operates on highly specific electrochemical principles to target and remove 99.99% of impurities from EV battery recycling streams and other material streams like ultra-pure chemistries.  The electrochemical process splits water to generate donor electrons while using a tightly controlled voltage differential to control where the electrons go.  Copper and manganese are the primary targets for EV battery recycling streams, while we can also address nuisance metals like cadmium and others in various processes. 

Small Footprint, Big Impact:

 Due to specificity and efficiency, ElectraMet system operate on a greatly reduced footprint compared to solvent exchange, sulfide precipitation, and ion exchange.  The same specificity allows single pass processing from ~100 mg/L to < 1 mg/L of Cu and Mn contaminants.  Based on your flow sheet, ElectraMet can replace traditional alternatives mentioned above to eliminate toxic gases and liquids, product rework due to either yield or purity issues, and need for secondary waste streams storage and treatment.

Continuous Purification:

ElectraMet operates continuously, maintaining the highest standard for reliability and purity in your processes to maximize operating profit and uptime. Our automated technology functions without required human oversight. Onboard monitoring and telemetry enable 24/7 process awareness with remote support from ElectraMet just a phone call away.
