Kemetco Produces High Quality Nickel-Cobalt Hydroxide
RecycLiCo Battery Materials (“AMY” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the company has received initial results from Kemetco Research regarding the recycling tests of lithium-ion battery material received from tier-one companies, referred to in the Company’s October 3, 2019 news release. With respect to RecycLiCo Battery Materials’s confidentiality agreement with the tier-one companies, they will be referred to as Company A and Company B.
The work initiated with laboratory studies to determine the optimum conditions to operate a larger scale pilot run to produce larger quantities of material for customer evaluation. Based on the initial laboratory tests nickel cobalt hydroxide was successfully produced from the as received cathode scraps. Recycled samples from Company A reported a recovery of 88.75% for Cobalt and 84.12% for Nickel using the RecycLiCo™ Patented Process. This material was received as long fine strips and past experience has shown the recoveries can be improved with a different size of shredding to enhance separation of the active material from the aluminum foil. This sizing is proprietary to RecycLiCo Battery Materials which the company will advise to the tier-one companies.
“We have produced high quality nickel-cobalt hydroxide (see photo) from our initial tests of tier-one NCA cathode scrap and are optimizing the conditions for a production run of a larger quantity of material for customer testing, which we are proceeding”, says Norm Chow of Kemetco Research.
On the completion of sample lithium-ion battery material from Company A, RecycLiCo Battery Materials will report on Company B as results are received.
“Lithium-ion batteries for tier-one companies have a high standard for quality and Kemetco is doing an excellent job ensuring that we produce tier-one recycled lithium-ion battery cathode materials,” said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of RecycLiCo Battery Materials.
