In hydrometallurgy, battery metals are usually dissolved in inorganic acids and less valuable metals such as aluminium and copper are removed before lithium, cobalt, manganese and nickel are extracted. This can require several purification steps resulting in lithium loss.<\/p>\n<p>However, the team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden is using oxalyic acid \u2013 an organic acid found in the plant kingdom. The researchers say the new latter stage, in which the black mass is filtered, is reminiscent of brewing coffee. While aluminium and lithium end up in the liquid, the other metals are left in the \u2018solids\u2019. The next step in the process is to separate the aluminium and lithium. \u2018We need alternatives to inorganic chemicals,\u2019 says Martina Petranikova, team at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering \u2018One of the biggest bottlenecks in today\u2019s processes is removing residual materials like aluminium. This is an innovative method that can offer the recycling industry new alternatives and help solve problems that hinder development.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Petranikova\u2019s research group is involved in various collaborations with companies to develop electric car battery recycling and is a partner in major research and development projects, such as Volvo Cars\u2019 and Northvolt\u2019s Nybat project.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/batteries\/lateral-thinking-boosts-lithium-recovery\/55412\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-423\/\">Lateral thinking boosts lithium recovery<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3791,12081,917],"class_list":["post-118059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-lithium","tag-oxalyic-acid","tag-recovery"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118059\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
