TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY

Nickel & Cobalt Recovery from Waste Lithium-Ion Batteries

A low-cost method for recovery of critical materials from hydrometallurgical battery recycling.

Opportunity: Idaho National Laboratory (INL), managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), is offering the opportunity to enter into a license and/or collaborative research agreement to commercialize this process for recovery of Ni/Co from li-ion battery leachates. This technology transfer opportunity is part of a dedicated effort to convert government-funded research into job opportunities, businesses and ultimately an improved way of life for the American people.

Overview: A growing need for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in multiple technology sectors is applying pressure on the cost and availability of the materials used in battery components, especially the metals used in the electrodes. There are many reasons why recycling rates remain low, including issues with collection, transportation, and storage of waste batteries. However, a significant bottleneck in developing a circular economy for LIBs is the lack of cost-effective metal separations and recovery processes. Current recovery techniques that follow hydrometallurgical processes include LIBs are discharged and dismantled to remove plastic and metallic shells, followed by leaching and metals separation. Several separation steps are involved to remove impurity metals and recover LIB metal salts. However, these processes consume large quantities of chemicals and generates waste that can be costly to treat prior to disposal.

Description: Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory have developed a novel process for removing impurity metals in LIB leachates to produce high-value metal concentrates. Phosphate salts are added to battery leachates to form insoluble iron and aluminum phosphate salts at a pH 3-4. At this pH, 95-99% of the iron and aluminum salts will precipitate out from th...
