Li-cycle promotes the lithium ion battery recycling factory in New York with annual recovery of 10,000 tons of waste lithium ion battery capabilities

Lithium battery recycling company Licycle has now had the ability to recover 10,000 tons of waste lithium-ion batteries per year. The company has just established business operations facilities in Rochester, New York. This headquartered company is announced before the establishment of a factory in New York, starting from its existing facilities in Canada at the end of 2019.

Licycle claims that "at least 95%" and up to 100% battery, including cobalt, can be recovered using its proprietary two-step processes, i.e., the battery pack, and then pass the wet metallurgy and the wet chemical process, one In addition to value components and materials.

In September, the State Governor, New York, announced that the company announced that the company will welcome two second seats in New York. In 2019, the climate protection policies issued by Governors included the goal of 3,000 megawatts in the state in 2030, and Coemon said that the cooperation of the state and lithium cycles will promote the supply chain of lithium batteries and further expand the region's flourishing. Energy storage industry.

LikeCle said last week, Licycle said that SPOKE2 facilities in the Rochester Isman Commercial Park have been fully put into operation. The company operates "wheels" and "spoke" facilities, spoke 2 creates a middle mixed battery material product from "all types" lithium batteries, called "black quality". Spoke 2 can handle up to 5,000 tons of battery annually, and add a 5,000-ton battery that Li-cycle has put into operation.

The company's center then processes this black product into battery-level materials and other materials that can be used in other non-battery applications. The New York Center, which is welcomed by Andrew Koko, will be built in 2022. Li period said that the recent Circular financing will help to finance the center and enable the company to enter the international market.

The amount of C-round financing has not been disclosed. "This is a key step in lithium ion battery technology, which lays a solid foundation for the circular supply chain of lithium ion batteries. Our goal is to better manage the scrapped lithium-ion battery to meet the growing demand for key battery materials by creating a local source in North America to meet the needs of critical battery materials.

"Licycle CEO Ajaykochar said. Energy Storage Magazine from the battery supply chain expert Hans Eric Meilin received a short comment on the opening of the licyclespoke2 factory. Meilin's circulating energy storage company is studied and analyzed from the perspective of lithium-ion battery.

Merlin said, although Licycle's only concern is not a battery for energy storage systems, but the industry is likely to benefit from the growth of recycling facilities and signals from SPOKE2 open to the market. Hans - Eric Merlin said: "The pretreatment ability of North America continues to expand, which is very positive. "I believe that it will eventually benefit from other collectors and original equipment manufacturers.

This is both conducive to prices and also provides more geographic choices. If we want more materials to stay in the United States and Canada, this is very important. "Licycle is very interesting to a special lithium-ion recovery, because they can't rely on other waste streams than many existing companies, but they are strongly incentive, quickly occupying market share.

Of course, their wet metallurgical processing plants can really change the rules of the game. "IHSMARKIT Energy Storage Advanced Analyst Chloeholzinger said that from all aspects of raw materials to components and equipment, the final users of stakeholders and battery energy storage will have a strong interest in the possibility of recycling, in September by our publication Virtual energy storage summit hosted by Shang Solarmedia. .
