Problem
Hydrometallurgical processes for battery recycling and metal production require precise monitoring of metal concentrations to optimize efficiency and ensure product quality. Traditional methods often rely on laboratory analysis, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and unable to provide real-time data for process control. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased waste, and difficulties in maintaining consistent product purity.
Solution
Sensmet provides real-time metal concentration analysis using its patented µDOES® (Micro-discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy) technology, enabling continuous monitoring of key metals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt in industrial processes. The technology eliminates the need for expensive carrier gases and chemical reagents, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. By providing automated, 24/7 analysis, Sensmet's technology allows for improved process control, increased productivity, and reduced waste in battery recycling and manufacturing. The robust and field-proven system delivers high analytical performance, including the ability to analyze lightweight elements that pose challenges for other methods.
