EALIR - Development of new, highly-efficient techniques to increase the recovery of critical materials in lithium-ion battery recycling

**EALIR -开发新型高效技术，提高锂离子电池回收过程中关键材料的回收率**电动汽车电池供应链的安全性已成为全球各国政府的优先事项。2022年1月，英国BEIS成立了关键矿产专家委员会，以支持英国在这一领域的发展，认识到建立英国供应链“至关重要”。为了应对这一能源安全挑战，Altilium Metals Ltd发明了一种新型、高效的湿法冶金工艺，经普利茅斯大学（University of Plymouth）独立验证，与提取原始原料相比，可节省35%的成本，减少38%的排放量。该技术提供了最高水平的材料回收，回收95%的关键金属，然后将其加工成高质量的正极材料（LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2），可以直接销售给电池制造商。这个为期18个月的项目的重点是显著提高我们的工艺和整个行业的效率、气候友好性和商业价值。

**EALIR - Development of new, highly-efficient techniques to increase the recovery of critical materials in lithium-ion battery recycling**The security of an EV battery supply-chain has become a priority for Governments globally. In January 2022, UK BEIS established the Critical Minerals Expert Committee to support the UK in this area, recognising that establishing a UK supply-chain is "critically important".To address this energy security challenge, Altilium Metals Ltd has invented a novel, highly-efficient hydrometallurgical process, independently validated by the University of Plymouth, resulting in cost savings of 35% and a reduction of 38% in emissions compared to the extraction of virgin raw material. This technology offers the highest level of material recovery, recovering 95% of critical metals, which are then processed into high-quality cathode materials (LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2) that can be sold directly to battery manufacturers.This 18-month project is focussed on significantly driving forward the efficiency, climate-friendliness, and commercial value of our process and the industry as a whole.
