When recycling batteries, do we need to inject new minerals or can we reuse the existing ones? There are two main recycling processes: pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy, which involves heating materials to over 1500 degrees, is less relevant for climate-conscious investors due to its high emissions. On the other hand, hydrometallurgy, a chemical process using sulfuric acid, allows for separating and recovering minerals with fewer emissions. This method has seen significant improvements in recent years, making it a key focus in battery recycling and sustainable tech. Discover how these recycling processes are evolving and their impact on clean energy and resource recovery. Pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, green innovation, climate tech, ecofriendly.
