Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, is pleased to announce the visit of Councillor Tudor Evans OBE, Leader of Plymouth City Council, to its new state-of-the-art EV battery recycling plant in Plymouth today, as the company embarks on the next phase of its ambitious growth plans. [...]
We have won two grants totalling £1 million for the zero-carbon transportation of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries to battery recycling stations (or spokes) and design of an automated battery recycling facility for black mass processing. Transporting old EV batteries is challenging and expensive, given their weight and health and safety risks and could contributes 3.5% [...]
Altilium Metals, a UK-based green technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, has today announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Marubeni Corporation, Japanese trading and investment group. Under the framework of the MOU, the two companies will work together to explore opportunities to jointly develop EV battery recycling [...]
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 [...]
