American Manganese Prepares Recycled Lithium-Ion Battery NMC Cathode Waste for Cathode Precursor Production
(firmenpresse) - AMY CEO: Cathode Precursor is high-value product for Li-Ion Battery Supply Chain
Company Begins Sourcing Equipment for RecycLiCo Demonstration Plant
April 29, 2021 - Surrey, BC. American Manganese Inc. (AMY or the Company) (TSX.V: AMY | OTCQB: AMYZF| FSE: 2AM) and its independent R&D contractor Kemetco Research Inc. (Kemetco) are pleased to report that the pregnant leach solution (PLS) produced during the leaching stages of NMC (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide) cathode waste, using AMYs patented lithium-ion battery cathode recycling process (RecycLiCo), has been prepared for cathode precursor production testing.
The NMC testing follows the earlier production of cathode precursor material from recycled NCA (lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide) cathode waste, as reported in the Companys March 31, 2021 press release. AMYs goal is to achieve the technical targets set by traditional lithium-ion battery cathode precursor manufacturers and to demonstrate the potential to recycle NMC or NCA cathode waste into high-value cathode precursor products for direct integration in the re-manufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries.
The cathode precursor is a high-value product near the end of the lithium-ion battery supply chain and the NMC and NCA cathodes are two of the most popular electric vehicle battery chemistries manufactured and used today, said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. Therefore, with RecycLiCo, our strategy is to license or jointly develop our environmentally safe, efficient, and low-cost process alongside lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle partners that share our vision of a circular economy.
American Manganese is also pleased to report that equipment planning and sourcing for the RecycLiCo demonstration plant is underway. The contract for the $2.7 million scale-up project was awarded to Kemetco on March 12, 2021, and will have a planned cathode waste processing capacity of 500 kg/day. The project will support third-party evaluation, detailed economic analysis, and provide a tool for commercialization.
