Battery recycling

Know the black-powder composition,
and yield and cost come into view

Lower cost, higher yield and less carbon at once — we read the composition of powder recovered from spent batteries in real time.

The Problem

Black powder (black mass) varies widely and is hard to track in real time.

That variation is a major cause of lower yield and higher cost. Without accurate composition, neither process optimization nor cost control is possible.

In 2024, 3I signed an MOU with two partners of a battery recycling alliance and is building composition data for the recycling process together with them.

Materials

Target materials

Black Powder

Reads the content of valuable metals such as Li · Ni · Co · Mn lot by lot, and grades it on the spot.

Sludge & Slag

Highly variable and easy to lose value from. Improve recovery and reduce treatment cost.
