He was previously Principal Engineer at Dyson, as well as Head of Research and Process Development at British Lithium Ltd. With a profound commitment to innovation and sustainability, [...]
Black mass production is the first step in the battery recycling process and is based on mechanical treatment of the batteries. The produced black mass contains high amounts of the key metals used to produce battery-ready cathode active materials (CAM): lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese. The planned commercial scale battery recycling black mass plant will [...]
We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our Altilium family, Dr Afzana Anwer, who will be joining us as Head of Intellectual Property (IP) and an integral part of our leadership team. With a strong foundation in IP law, Afzana was Head of Intellectual Property at Britishvolt and has a PhD. in Materials [...]
We are thrilled to announce that JORC drilling has officially commenced at our 100% controlled, 2,200 ha Medet copper rich mine tailings, located in central Bulgaria. We're recycling historic mine tailings to extract valuable copper, contributing significantly to the European battery industry. By reprocessing this mine waste, we are not only reducing the harmful environmental [...]
In a recent interview with S&P Global, we discussed our activities to scale-up of end-of-life EV battery recycling and our mission to usher in a low carbon transportation future by returning high volumes of domestic, sustainable battery-ready raw materials to UK automotive supply chains. We stand at the forefront of innovation and UK technical leadership [...]
Altilium’s 10,000-square-foot pilot facility (ACT 2) in Plymouth, Devon is scheduled to start ramping up early 2024 and is the first of a kind in the UK. We will be able to process around one EV battery "black mass" scrap per day, producing MT volumes of Cathode Active Material (CAM) for qualification with automotive OEM’s [...]
Altilium are pleased to announce the addition of a new careers section on altilium.tech. Providing insights into the culture and people behind the pioneering clean technology group, those looking to be at the forefront of energy transformation can also find the current range of roles available at Altilium at locations in the UK and Europe. [...]
Rare Earth Elements (REE) play a vital role in EV motors, but the UK does not have world-class rare earth deposits, so for primary REE materials we must look overseas as well as to alternative sources, such as mining waste, as their extraction from traditional deposits is limited. Our 2,200 ha Medet concession, located in [...]
We are on path to become the UK only at scale producer of domestic and sustainable battery-ready Cathode Active Material (CAM) from recycling old EV batteries, decarbonising transport for the UK’s net-zero challenge. Pilot Plant Construction Underway: We are pleased to update our scale-up plans in the UK with construction started at our Plymouth Pilot [...]
Our team is partnering with Lunaz, a leading innovator in the electric vehicle industry, to embark on a mission to upcycle used diesel trucks to electric, collect old EV batteries and transport them to battery recycling stations with ZERO carbon emissions. By harnessing the remaining power in the old batteries to extend vehicle range, we [...]
