Biotechnological sulfuric acid production from biogas-derived sulfur
acib’s recent study highlights the potential of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria for more sustainable sulfuric acid production.
From Black Mass to Valuable Materials: How UVR Unlocks Hidden Potential in Battery Recycling
At the heart of lithium‑ion battery recycling lies a deceptively simple but technically complex material: black mass. This fine powder, produced when end‑of‑life batteries are mechanically recycled , contains most of the critical and strategical raw materials that Europe needs for its energy transition – graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese. Turning black mass back into high‑value products is a key challenge for the circular battery economy.
How Europe Is Building Its Battery Recycling Infrastructure
Across Europe, battery recycling is moving from pilot scale to industrial reality. To secure critical raw materials and meet the ambitions of the EU Battery Regulation, Europe needs not just better processes in the lab, but robust, scalable infrastructure in real factories and logistics hubs. The BeyondBattRec project is contributing exactly at this interface – developing advanced pre‑processing and environmentally friendly recovery routes that can be integrated into industrial operations.
Strengthening the Human Dimension of Battery Recycling: NOVA Joins BeyondBattRec
As the BeyondBattRec project progresses towards more efficient and sustainable recycling technologies for end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, it is becoming increasingly clear that technological innovation alone is not enough. A truly circular battery value chain also depends on people: the stakeholders who shape, enable, and ultimately accept these solutions….
Advancing Circular Battery Recycling: From Battery Waste to High-Quality Recycled Plastics
When discussing battery recycling, the focus often lies on critical metals such as lithium, cobalt, or nickel. While their recovery is essential, a truly circular battery value chain must go further…
