Scale-up of electrochemical leaching cell CMI researchers at Idaho National Laboratory conducted the research for this highlight
Electrolyte design for separation of rare earth metals (Pr & Nd) CMI researchers at Idaho National Laboratory worked with OLI Systems to create an electrolyte design for separation of rare earth metals (Pr & Nd)
Lithium purification from leachate solution CMI research at Idaho National Laboratory demonstrated Li2CO3 recovery, with a Li purity over 90 percent, from a leachate surrogate sample containing Li and Mn.
Publication on electrochemical leaching process developed by CMI CMI research on an electrochemical leach process developed by researchers at Idaho National Laboratory were formulated into a technical paper accepted by a journal.
A comparison of lithium-ion battery feedstocks We have demonstrated that our EC leaching process efficiently leaches feedstocks with variable compositions.
Electrochemical leaching of cobalt and lithium from nickel-rich battery sources To recycle batteries, CMI created a way that consumes electricity instead of chemicals to transform crushed batteries to a concentrated mixture well suited to separation into materials for new batteries. This method is flexible, and efficient. It can be used with different types of batteries, and pulls out more than 97 percent of the lithium, cobalt, copper, manganese, iron and nickel.
