Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese, said he was proud to have received the funding.
“We believe American Manganese and Battery Safety Solutions are an excellent match for creating a complete life-cycle material recovery solution for spent and damaged lithium-ion batteries,” he said.
American Manganese Inc. is developing the project with Battery Safety Solutions B.V.
The proposed recycling plant will be able to extract cobalt, lithium, nickel, manganese and aluminium from drained lithium-ion batteries.
The extracted metals will be battery-grade in quality and therefore can be re-sold to ion battery manufactures.
American Manganese Inc. currently holds the patent for the “RecycLiCo” process, which produces the high-grade recycled metals.
At the moment the company is interested commercialising this process by first developing a demonstration recycling plant in Europe and North America.
