BASF, a leading battery materials producer, has entered into a long-term collaboration agreement with Tenova Advanced Technologies (TAT) of Yokneam, Israel, for its battery recycling prototype plant in Schwarzheide, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both companies agreed to jointly optimize the hydrometallurgical recycling process, leveraging TAT\u2019s novel process for the recovery and production of lithium, which includes lithium solvent extraction (LiSX\u2122) and lithium electrolysis (LiEL\u2122).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process development activities include pilot campaigns at TAT\u2019s R&D center and the design and fabrication of a prototype plant to be operated at BASF\u2019s facilities in Schwarzheide, Germany. Startup of the prototype plant is targeted for later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irad Rekem, TAT Managing Director, stated: \u201cWe are proud to bring our expertise and innovative technologies to this collaborative effort with BASF to recycle end-of-life batteries. This will be a recycling process that will demonstrate efficient metal recovery and production of lithium salts based on solvent extraction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUsing recycled metals for production of new battery materials can reduce the CO2 emission impact of batteries by about 25 percent compared to the use of virgin metals,\u201d said Daniel Sch\u00f6nfelder, Senior Vice President Battery Base Metals and Recycling at BASF. \u201cWe will close the loop from end-of-life batteries to new battery production and will ensure an exceptionally low CO2 footprint for key metals needed to meet the growing demand for eMobility. By collaborating with Tenova we can assess new approaches in further optimizing the recycling process.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
