Environmental Controls for Lithium-ion Battery Recycling from Black Mass to Downstream Hydromet Processes
Lithium-ion battery recyclers and Hydromet processors can think like recyclers but must act like chemical plants. This is especially true for environmental emissions.
The lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) value chain a complex process from recycling to the…
Strategic Project Management for Complex Process Systems

In capital-intensive process projects, delays rarely come from one bad decision. More often, they stem from a series of early assumptions made under pressure. By the time the system-level risks surface, schedules slip, costs rise, and options narrow.…

For all the emphasis on safety in our lives, you’d almost expect it to be easy. Only, as we see time and again, it takes intentional planning to engineer safety into work processes. This is particularly true in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) recycling…
Waste Treatment of Solids, Liquids and Gases in Battery Recycling
Emissions, such as toxic gases, contaminated wastewater and explosive dust, require the same rigorous environmental controls as specialty chemical manufacturing. Read More
