E-waste contains valuable materials such as metals, semiconductors, and rare elements that can be reused. However, in 2022, only 22.3% of e-waste was properly collected and recycled, while the remaining materials, estimated to be worth almost $62 billion, were discarded in landfills. https://lnkd.in/gwDdDXJ7

NEWS:NEWS:NEWS: We will present our TECACOMP materials for the fuel cells and redox-flow scenery in Shanghai at the FCVC this year! By #nature, plastics are not thermally or electrically conductive. However, in certain complex applications such as fuel cells or redox-flow batteries, very high electrical and thermal conductive properties of the materials are required in order to separate reaction gases and cooling media from one another and distribute them in the reaction areas. At the same time, the materials must also be resistant to chemical, thermal and mechanical loads. Only the fulfillment of these requirements guarantees the long-term safe functioning of these applications. With the help of special additives, plastics can be optimised in such a way that they are ideal for such highly specialised and complex applications. #fuel_cell #redox_flow #energy #renewable #sustainable #bipolar_plates

A #Lithium Ion #Battery consists of more than the electrodes... What about the cell casing? The latest paper by Malena Staudacher, Tony Lyon and Urs Alexander Peuker is dedicated to the processing and #recycling of the battery casing. It discusses common #sorting processes and the influence of selective deformation on the composite material. This research is embedded in the German federal activities in battery recycling greenBattNutzung - Recycling & Green Battery and Battery Utilisation Concepts and EIT RawMaterials RIS Hub Adria #AutoBatRec.

Explore the new process of lithium battery recycling / Lithium batteries into treasure #Lithium Battery Recycling New processes for lithium battery recycling are often referred to as "lithium battery waste to energy" and include innovative technologies and methods aimed at efficiently recovering valuable materials from used lithium-ion batteries. The following is a discussion of some of the emerging methods in the field of lithium battery recycling: Direct Recycling: Direct recycling refers to the refurbishment of spent battery cells to create new batteries or battery components. This approach aims to extend the life cycle of lithium-ion batteries and reduce the need for raw materials. Mechanical Separation: Mechanical processes such as crushing, milling and sieving are used to dismantle batteries and separate their components. This method is often combined with other methods for further processing and refining. Contact me for more deatils.

Coherent Corp., a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, has announced that as a result of an ongoing strategic portfolio assessment, the company will evaluate strategic alternatives for its Streamlined Hydrometallurgical Advanced Recycling Process (SHARP™) technology to efficiently recover and recycle critical metals from lithium-ion batteries (LiBs).

Our 100kg/hr lithium battery recycling machine, designed without the pyrolysis section. This system is ideal for small-scale investors and recyclers looking to enter the lithium-ion battery recycling market. In this demonstration, we're using discharged cylindrical 18650 batteries. The process begins with a single-shaft shredder for initial crushing. The materials then pass through various stages including a circular vibrating screen, zig-zag separator, magnetic separator, and more. Through these meticulous steps, we separate out the separator membrane, black powder, iron casing, and metal powder. This compact and efficient setup ensures thorough recycling of lithium-ion batteries, yielding valuable components. If you're interested in learning more about our machine or exploring investment opportunities, please don't hesitate to contact us. ✅Email: rita@recycle999.com ✅Whatsapp/Wechat: +86 18638157391 #lithiumbattery #batterycollection #cobalt #blacepower

The TRACE Act in the U.S. and similar European regulations are ushering in a new era of regulations for the battery industry surrounding the sourcing, tracking, reuse, and recycling of raw materials such as lithium, graphite, cobalt, and nickel, which are all essential to the production of EV and grid-scale battery applications. As a result, meeting these evolving regulations will require unprecedented data capture, tracking, and sharing.

Electrolyzers are emerging as a key technology for #GreenHydrogen production, crucial to achieving long-term #SustainableEnergy goals, despite their high initial costs deterring widespread adoption. Sr. Program Manager for Mott Corporation, Alex Papandrew explains how recent advancements, including thinner membranes, reduced precious metal coatings, and optimized cell designs, have significantly improved efficiency, reduced costs, and extended electrolyzer lifespans. For instance, thinner titanium porous transport layers enhance hydrogen production rates and lower energy consumption, while reduced-iridium coatings lower reliance on expensive platinum group metals. Innovations in cell design, such as grooved electrode structures, further boost performance and durability, making large-scale hydrogen production more viable. With the green hydrogen market projected to grow exponentially by 2050, electrolyzers represent a transformative opportunity for manufacturers willing to invest in this promising technology.
