According to Mining News Pro - The work is part of AMY’s previously announced partnership with the DOE on a multi-year project that focuses on creating a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries.
Formally titled “Lithium-Ion Battery Disassembly, Remanufacturing, and Lithium & Cobalt Recovery Project,” the program focuses on research, development and demonstration of novel methods that maximize value recovery from lithium-ion battery stacks, modules and cells by reuse, remanufacturing, and materials recovery.
