How Black Mass is leading us to a more sustainable future

Licomat26 Sep, 2022Technology

Lithium-ion batteries are composed of metals, including manganese, lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Once a li-ion battery reaches the end of its shelf-life, the battery pack is collected, dismantled, and shredded. The shredded material is then processed to produce the by-product called ?black mass?, which consists of high amounts of precious metals from which materials like cobalt, manganese, lithium and nickel can be reused. These critical materials can then be extracted from the black mass and reused as raw materials in new battery production.
