Canada is rich with resources needed to fuel the electrification of modern society, and Canadian companies are rich with ideas for finding lithium, nickel, copper, cobalt, and PGMs wherever they are around the world.
American Manganese
American Manganese (TSXV: AMY; US-OTC: AMYZF) is concentrating its efforts on recycling lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries. If the company has its way, the batteries will be recycled and the lithium in them will last forever, thanks to its RecycLiCo patented process. The company says it is an environmentally friendly, hydrometallurgical solution for not only lithium but also cobalt, nickel, cobalt, manganese and aluminum. The process produces a high-quality feedstock that can be directly integrated into the remanufacturing of battery cathodes.
There are many benefits of RecycLiCo, the company says. Battery waste is recycled without mining. The process is economical, particularly when compared to the cost of exploration, drilling and mine development. RecycLiCo is a closed-loop hydrometallurgical process with no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, no landfill waste and low energy consumption.
American Manganese estimates that to smelt and recover a tonne of metal generates about 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Then only 40% to 60% of nickel and cobalt are recovered and none of the lithium. The base metals recovered need further processing and refining before they can be reused in batteries. The attraction of a hydrometallurgical way of recycling Li-ion...
