Hydrometallurgical battery recycling has emerged as one of the most effective methods for recovering high-purity metals from end-of-life batteries. Unlike pyrometallurgy—which requires high temperatures and produces significant emissions—hydrometallurgy uses chemical processes at lower energy inputs, making it more sustainable and more compatible with the circular economy.
Graphite is the dominant material used in lithium-ion battery anodes, making it a critical enabler of the electrification economy. More than 95% of today’s EV batteries rely on graphite based anodes for conductivity, stability, and performance. As demand for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage grows, so too does the need for battery-grade natural graphite that meets stringent quality standards.
