About Cylib
Develops a proprietary, water-based hydrometallurgical process for recycling lithium-ion batteries, recovering over 90% of valuable materials without using harmful additives or excessive acids. This end-to-end solution reduces CO2 emissions and resource depletion, transforming battery waste and production scrap into high-quality, marketable raw materials that exceed future EU regulatory targets.
```xml <problem> The extraction of raw materials for lithium-ion batteries through traditional mining methods leads to environmental damage and resource depletion. Existing battery recycling processes often rely on energy-intensive methods, generate significant CO2 emissions, and may involve the use of harmful chemicals. </problem> <solution> cylib offers a proprietary hydrometallurgical recycling process for lithium-ion batteries that recovers over 90% of valuable materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite. The end-to-end process minimizes environmental impact by using less water, reducing acid consumption, and eliminating the need for additives in lithium recovery. By transforming battery waste and production scrap into high-quality raw materials, cylib provides a sustainable alternative to virgin material extraction, exceeding current and future EU regulatory targets. </solution> <features> - Patented pre-treatment process that reduces the need for acids in hydrometallurgical processes. - Water-based lithium and graphite recovery, eliminating the need for additives. - Recovery of base metals, including separation of aluminum and copper foils. - End-to-end process covering the entire battery recycling value chain, from discharging to hydrometallurgical extraction. - CO2-efficient technology that minimizes emissions compared to traditional recycling methods. - Ability to process both end-of-life batteries and production scrap. - Recycled products with a significantly lower carbon footprint than raw materials from mining. </features> <target_audience> cylib's primary customers include battery manufacturers, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and recycling companies seeking sustainable and efficient solutions for lithium-ion battery recycling. </target_audience> ```
