The RecycLiCo process can generate valuable and critical metals from spent lithium-ion battery cathode materials

American Manganese Inc (CVE:AMY) has welcomed the fact that the respected Journal of the Electrochemical Society (JES) has reviewed and published the company's technical paper detailing its ground-breaking battery recycling process.

The 'Experimental Study on Recycling of Spent Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials' publication describes the firm's experimental work, which led to the patented RecycLiCo process which can generate valuable and critical metals from spent lithium-ion battery cathode materials.

"We are thrilled that a highly cited and respected peer-reviewed scientific journal like JES reviewed and published the findings of our research in lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling," said Larry Reaugh, the CEO of American Manganese in a statement.

"This shows that the work we had undertaken to develop the RecycLiCo process is able to pass the scrutiny of people with expertise in this field."

Detailed is the lab-scale testing of NMC (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide), NCA (lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide), LMO (lithium manganese oxide), and LCO (lithium cobalt oxide) cathode materials.

It highlights the capability of over 99% extraction of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese in an environmentally friendlier closed-loop hydrometallurgical process that minimizes the impacts of recycling lithium-ion battery cathode materials.
