We utilize a proprietary cryogenic process for pre-treating all highly reactive lithium batteries. The effect of this process is to make the batteries less reactive, which enables further physical separation.
The batteries are then fed by conveyor to an automated crusher, which operates under a liquid solution to prevent fugitive emissions and reduce the reactivity of processed batteries.
The resulting materials include metal solids that are fully recovered and used as raw materials in various new products. A lithium-enriched solution is also created that then undergoes our exclusive chemical process which generates lithium carbonate – a raw material that can be reused in numerous industrial applications.
