PEPR Recycling project – Electrodialysis for recycling lithium-ion batteries

The energy transition is based on sustainable technologies and energy storage, where lithium-ion batteries are essential for electrification and mobility. The PEPR Recycling project or Electrodialysis for Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling research project aims to design innovative unit operations (attrition leaching, electrodialysis, selective precipitation) to:
♦ recycle NMC electrodes,
♦ reduce costs and environmental impacts,
♦ and optimize the graphite chain.

Specifically, the GeoRessources laboratory is studying the potential for integrating electrodialysis operations into a hydrometallurgical process for treating concentrates from used lithium-ion batteries.
