Aqua Metals, a Nevada-based, listed metal recycler, has recovered high-purity lithium hydroxide from lithium-ion battery black mass at the company's Li AquaRefining recycling facility located at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC).
The company claims that the production and availability of the first recycled lithium hydroxide on a large scale will assist in bridging the gap in the US supply chain for key battery metals and enhance the economics of recycling advanced battery chemistries like lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
In 2022 , Aqua Metals launched the Li AquaRefining Pilot—the first pilot-scale electro-hydrometallurgy battery recycling facility in the US. The facility provides the design basis for the company's 10,000-ton-per-year lithium battery-recycling campus, which is planned for phased development later this year.
