ALKALINE PROCESSING
At the Forefront, and the Future, of Alkaline Recycling
Cirba Solutions is setting a new standard in battery recycling with its patented, advanced technology, enabling the safe and efficient recovery of critical minerals from end-of-life alkaline batteries.
Cirba Solution’s process maximizes material recovery allowing for the reuse of elements extracted from used alkaline batteries – contributing to a more robust circular economy.
Uniquely Engineered Solutions
Alkaline batteries contain three primary components: manganese dioxide (the positive electrode), zinc (the negative electrode), and steel (the battery casing).
These three components makeup 93% of the average alkaline battery. Our process is superior to our competitors, in that these components are recovered using minimal energy outlay – at purity levels on par with virgin materials.
Alkaline Processing Material Impact
There are numerous applications for recovered critical minerals.
The most notable is our zinc and manganese concentrate that is extracted from alkaline batteries, which can be used as a dietary supplement. At Cirba Solutions, this concentrate is used as a source of micronutrients in fertilizers, supporting the growth of crops such as corn and soybeans.
