About Black Mass Recovery Technology

oIt is designed to extract battery-grade lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.

oIts dual-mode (wet and dry) black mass recovery technology ensures high separation efficiency and recovery rates of up to 97–99%.

oThe end-to-end process, including collection, shredding, metal leaching, and downstream purification, is indigenously developed and patented, significantly reducing reliance on imported recycling equipment.

oSignificance: It seeks to minimize import of critical minerals by recycling already available one within the country.
