Solveteq Genesis: Sustainable Alternative in Battery Recycling

Solveteq正在开发一种可持续和环保的方法来回收铅酸电池（实验室），同时显著减少铅对环境的影响。Solveteq的技术将使英国和国际回收公司大大减少他们在能源和环境控制方面的支出。绿色过程有可能改变电池回收行业并建立下一代实践。我们的解决方案用低温、溶剂型技术取代了回收过程中最昂贵、污染和能源密集型的步骤。Solveteq的愿景是通过改变当今实验室的回收方式，为更安全、更清洁的环境做出重大贡献。Solveteq的目标是在全球范围内实施其技术。我们的工艺生产铅和氧化铅，这是生产新电池的基本商品。尽管锂离子电池的使用量明显增加，但实验室仍然是汽车行业最受欢迎的电源，因为它们既用于内燃机（ICE）汽车，也用于最先进的混合动力和电动汽车（hev, ev）。实验室还用于公共交通和商用车辆（火车、公共汽车、卡车）以及电网储能等新兴应用。因此，在可预见的未来，实验室的使用预计不会减少。我们的项目旨在将伦敦帝国理工学院的学术研究转化为商业上可行的技术。我们的目标是在成熟的回收和公司中测试和实施我们的解决方案，然后将我们的技术分发给中低收入国家（LMICs）的运营商。中低收入国家非正规的回收做法造成了无法控制的铅向环境排放，使工人和当地社区暴露于铅污染之中。由于其毒性，这些地区的非正式铅回收被认为是世界上污染最严重的行业，儿童尤其受到铅中毒的影响。该项目正在解决这一人道主义、社会和经济问题。通过实施索维泰克的解决方案，我们努力为改善世界各地社区的安全、健康和福祉做出贡献。Solveteq目前为期12个月的项目范围是评估我们的新专利实验室规模工艺，在中间规模上进行测试，并评估其商业可行性和环境影响。该项目是Solveteq走向商业化的一个重要里程碑，它的成功将使公司能够扩大其产品组合，并在我们的客户所在地部署技术，最早在2023年代表实际操作条件。

Solveteq is developing a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for recycling lead-acid batteries (LABs), whilst significantly reducing the environmental impact of lead.Solveteq's technology will enable UK & international recycling companies to substantially reduce their expenditure on energy and environmental control. The green process has the potential to transform the battery recycling industry and establish next-generation practices.Our solution replaces the most expensive, polluting and energy-intensive step in the recycling process with a low-temperature, solvent-based technology. Solveteq's vision is to significantly contribute to a safer and cleaner environment by transforming the way LABs are being recycled today. Solveteq aims to implement its technology worldwide.Our process produces lead and lead oxides, which are essential commodities for the production of new batteries. Despite the evident rise of Li-ion batteries, LABs remain the most popular power supply in the automotive industry, as they are used in both Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and state-of-the-art Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (HEVs, EVs). LABs are also used in public transport and commercial vehicles (trains, buses, trucks) and in emerging applications such as grid energy storage. Therefore, the use of LABs is not expected to decline in the foreseeable future.Our project aims to translate the academic research conducted at Imperial College London into a commercially viable technology. We aim to test and implement our solution with established recycling and companies followed by the distribution of our technology to operators in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Informal recycling practices in LMICs are responsible for uncontrollable emissions of lead to the environment, exposing workers and local communities to lead pollution. Due to its toxicity, informal lead recycling in these regions is considered the most polluting industry in the world, with children being particularly affected by lead poisoning. The project is addressing this humanitarian, societal and economic issue. By implementing Solveteq's solution, we strive to contribute to improving the safety, health and well-being of communities around the world.The scope of Solveteq's current 12-month project is to evaluate our novel patentable laboratory-scale process, test it on an intermediate scale, and asses its commercial viability and environmental impact. This project presents a significant milestone for Solveteq towards commercialisation, and its success will allow the company to expand its product portfolio and deploy the technology at our customer's location, representing real-life operating conditions as early as 2023\.
