This feasibility study will accelerate and support the investment decision regarding development of a new UK site capable of processing battery waste from 20,000 electric vehicles to reclaim scarce technology metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt at a quality for re-use in cell manufacture. The work is performed in conjunction and under the support of [...]

This new strategy identified that large quantities of critical minerals are in products we use today, including end-of-life electric vehicle batteries. As critical minerals become increasingly difficult to find and extract from the ground, it will be important to make best use of those already in circulation, through a circular economy. Through this strategy, [...]

The study completed by Hatch is based on existing infrastructure to process battery waste from 16,000 electric vehicles. Incremental capital costs to modify the flow-sheet to treat “black mass” from end-of-life electric vehicle batteries is substantially lower than a greenfield project. There are few environmentally friendly options to recycle end of life batteries in [...]

Altilium Metals has opened a Technology Centre in Devon, UK to strengthen its competitive edge in recycling of electric vehicle batteries. The Technology Centre will allow its subsidiary Altilitech to scale recycling innovations faster and speed up its time-to-market. The team will be working closely together with the MEDET hydrometallurgical plant in Bulgaria, which is [...]

We completed our planning meeting for a 18-month research program sponsored by Altilium Metals with Imperial College. Imperial will produce lithium-ion coin cells and pouch cell batteries to validate the electrochemical performance of recycled technology metals from a number of current battery chemistries and verify they perform the same as batteries from virgin raw material. [...]

Altilium Metals Ltd has formed an alliance and has received investment from Tatton Consulting, R&D Grant Consulting Company of the year 2022. Tatton has a strong market leading position in supporting the UK’s most innovative and disruptive SMEs identify, apply for, and win grants and tax credits to innovate and grow. Altilium Metals has this [...]

Altilium Metals winning R&D proposal is to produce samples of recycled end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and manufacture new lithium-ion batteries. New battery production will validate the electrochemical performance of recycled technology metals and verify they perform the same as batteries from virgin raw material. The battery manufacture and testing will be done in conjunction with [...]

Devon County Council has invested more than £750,000 is being invested to support 6 innovative projects and technologies which will drive green growth in Devon’s economy. Altilitech, a subsidiary of Altilium Metals has been awarded funds to scale up its end-of-life electric vehicle recycling technology at its Battery Recycling Technology Centre in Devon, UK. Please [...]

Altilium Metals holds a multiyear concession agreement to extract minerals from the MEDET copper tailings and a solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) plant in Bulgaria. Altilium Metals appointed leading Engineering Consultant Hatch Ltd for the retrofit of the MEDET hydrometallurgical plant for the recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries. Hatch has presented their interim commercial and engineering [...]

Altilium Metals is supported through by Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) to prove and enhance the case for scale up of its electric vehicle battery recycling technology to reclaim scarce technology metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt at a quality for re-use in cell manufacture. This feasibility study will accelerate and support the investment decision regarding [...]
