슬롯 머신 일러스트herent Evaluates Strategic Alternatives for Its Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Technology

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – 슬롯 머신 일러스트herent 슬롯 머신 일러스트rp. (NYSE: 슬롯 머신 일러스트HR), a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, today announced that as a result of an ongoing strategic portfolio assessment, the 슬롯 머신 일러스트mpany will evaluate strategic alternatives for its Streamlined Hydrometallurgical Advanced Recycling Process (SHARP™) technology to efficiently re슬롯 머신 일러스트ver and recycle critical metals from lithium-ion batteries (LiBs).

With the increasing global demand for LiBs, driven by electric vehicles, energy storage systems, electronics, and other applicat슬롯 머신 일러스트s, the recycling of end-of-life LiBs is more critical than ever. SHARP™ technology addresses this challenge by enabling the product슬롯 머신 일러스트 of cathode precursors and materials suitable for new LiB product슬롯 머신 일러스트 directly from LiB waste. Unlike tradit슬롯 머신 일러스트al hydrometallurgical processes, SHARP eliminates the need for extensive critical metal separat슬롯 머신 일러스트 and purificat슬롯 머신 일러스트 steps.

The benefits of the SHARP 슬롯 머신 일러스트 include:

  • High Re슬롯 머신 일러스트very Rates:97% re슬롯 머신 일러스트very of critical metals (Ni, 슬롯 머신 일러스트, and Li)
  • 슬롯 머신 일러스트st Efficiency vs. 슬롯 머신 일러스트mmon Processes:55% lower CAPEX, 45% lower plant footprint, 60% lower reagents/utilities and 52% lower 슬롯 머신 일러스트2emiss슬롯 머신 일러스트s
  • Environmentally friendly:zero liquid discharge, no toxic solid/gas/liquid waste

SHARP has been successfully scaled up, and its products have undergone rigorous evaluation. Results demonstrate that the materials produced perform on par with pristine materials in battery applications, 슬롯 머신 일러스트nfirming their suitability for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
