This milestone is a significant achievement in our UK leadership in recycling EV batteries producing domestic and low carbon cathode active materials (CAM) for a UK electrified supply chain. Our highlights, learnings and progress: Improved Recycling Techniques: We have made significant progress in optimising a proprietary process recovering +95 % of lithium, nickel, cobalt and [...]
Bio mining employs microbes which can oxidise metal as part of their metabolism. It has been widely used in the mining industry, where microorganisms are used to extract valuable metals from ores. Urban mining recovers critical metals from electronic waste and end-of-life EV batteries. Under a UK Government SMART Innovation Grant, we have commenced work [...]
Testing of our recycled graphite by a European battery anode manufacturer has shown a good match to primary graphite in areas of purity and physio-chemical characteristics. The new results show promising potential for further optimizing the recovery of graphite and combining synthetic and natural graphite in new anodes, lowering costs and providing a domestic and [...]
Since 2013, KPMG has shone a spotlight on the game changers, difference makers and tech titans of tomorrow. Altilium has been recognised as one of the UK’s most successful new technology innovators. We are a UK Clean Tech group supporting the shift of the global energy sector from fossil-based to zero-carbon. We are developing innovative [...]
The new UK and US economic partnership will help UK-based firms involved in the mining, recycling and refining of critical minerals who are suppling US electric vehicle and battery manufacturers, in turn strengthening a US supply chain for raw materials needed for a sustainable transport future. With an early mover advantage in the UK lithium-ion [...]
The use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) in EV batteries has historically been favoured by Chinese manufacturers, but other OEMs have started to use LFP which is expected to take up 40% of the global battery market by 2030. LFP batteries are cobalt and nickel free, resulting in cheaper manufacturing costs. LFP batteries contain critical [...]
The qualification samples of nickel mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) produced at its Devon battery recycling scale-up line could be 50% lower carbon with stable levels of purity compared to using virgin raw material from mining and refining. The MHP will support the development of a low carbon footprint, low-cost cathode active material production process direct [...]
The new office is part of our business strategy to secure primary feed of Nickel Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate for imbalances in quality and quantity of feed at its “mega scale” battery recycling plant in Teesside. In addition to short term start-up supply shortages of scrap, variability in black mass quality from a portfolio of suppliers [...]
He will discuss the need for primary high Nickle MHP for imbalances in quality and quantity at “mega scale” recycling programs such as their planned Teesside facility, the only planned production of cathode active material in the UK. In the near term, new “pure” recyclers coming into the market, particularly in regions where overcapacity [...]
The UKs first battery recycler direct to cathode active material, has successfully completed its first audit and all its environmental protection activities are in full conformity with the International Standards and its Environment Agency approvals. Wardell Armstrong a multidisciplinary Environmental consultancy operating internationally performed the Audit. The company demonstrated its robust environment controls systems at [...]
