Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of RecycLiCo Battery Materials, (TSX.V: AMY; OTC US: AMYZF; FSE: ID4) (“AMY” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the Company’s progress on recent innovations developed for advancing the Company’s intellectual property portfolio for recycling lithium-ion batteries:
- A chemical method of detaching aluminum foil from active cathode compounds has been developed;
- A novel gravity separation method has been developed to separate the detached aluminum foil from the active cathode compounds into separate streams;
- A novel mineral processing method has been developed to separate residual carbon, graphite, copper and aluminum from shredded and heat-treated batteries sourced from a European recycler.
- A novel hydrometallurgical treatment was developed to remove fluoride originating from the electrolyte in shredded and heat-treated batteries sourced from a European recycler.
- A novel method to concentrate lithium was developed that will be integrated into the flowsheet which will reduce the number of steps and equipment required for AMY’s flowsheet.
