What Barry's Been Talking About

Barry enjoys getting out into the field to talk with clients, but that doesn’t stop him from sitting down to report on recent findings in the field. Along with publications in peer-reviewed journals, Barry also has a long-term publishing relationship with many of the industry’s most prevalent news sources.

Really, with 101+ publications and presentations there are too many to share here. Instead, we invite you to contact Barry for specific articles or presentations that relate to your project or business needs.

Review Barry’s Resources on Lithium and Battery Materials

NAATBatt Battery Recycling Committee Meeting 18 September 2023


This presentation provides an overview of the Lithium Ion Battery (LIBs) recycling process beginning with LIBs discharging and continuing with dry (inerted) shredding/crushing/granulating, black mass vacuum drying with gas treatment, electrolyte recovery and dedusting and finally to classifying and sorting of the different fractions. P&ID provides engineering services for preliminary and detailed engineering of complete turnkey plants from 50 kg/hour to 4 m-tons/hour as well as the equipment with commissioning and start-up from the specific vendors. The approach allows the recyclers to de-risk their scale-up to full production plants including automation, safety and operator/environmental protection. Chemical process assistance is also provided.
