Scaling up black mass recycling smarter
This presentation introduces GAT’s hydrometallurgical process technology for recycling NMC batteries, a process purpose-built for black-mass recycling rather than adapted from legacy nickel and cobalt refining. The technology produces battery-grade outputs without solvent extraction, removing the complexity, large footprint, and cost structure associated with SX-based routes.
The process delivers performance and economic advantages that are essential for competitive recycling outside China. It operates with markedly lower chemical consumption, generates minimal by-products and waste streams, and has a zero-liquid-discharge configuration. This substantially reduces environmental burden and simplifies permitting.
The technology has been validated at industrial scale, reaching TRL 9 and confirming its technical robustness.
