Description
As the need for effective battery waste management grows, NMC, LFP and Na-ion batteries contribute significantly to this challenge, accounting for 85 % of the problem. Traditional recycling methods prove inadequate, lacking efficiency and eco-friendliness. That's where the EU-funded REVITALISE project comes in, with an innovative solution. Utilising cutting-edge techniques like electrohydraulic fragmentation and ultrasonication for material purity, REVITALISE aims to revolutionise battery recycling. Furthermore, it introduces water remediation, extracting lithium from wastewater streams. Collaborating with industry leaders Verkor, Hydro and Hydrovolt, the project ensures closed-loop recycling, optimising recovery rates while minimising environmental impact. The goal is a commercially viable process with minimal environmental impact, incorporating hydrometallurgy. REVITALISE sets a new standard for green, cost-effective battery recycling, guiding us towards a sustainable future.
