News Release Highlights:
Battery X Recycling Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Battery X Metals Inc., has entered into a new Collaborative Research Agreement with a Global Top 20 University to advance and expand the development of its proprietary froth-flotation process for the recovery of high-purity graphite, oxides, and phosphates from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.
The collaboration builds on prior laboratory success in which the Global Top 20 University identified a new solvent that, when combined with a two-stage re-flotation process, significantly improved material separation efficiency-achieving graphite recoveries above 98% and oxide purities up to 96% under mild, environmentally responsible conditions.
The new Agreement will focus on refining graphite grade and oxide purity, expanding the process to include lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) black-mass chemistries, and advancing the data and methodologies required to support the future transition from laboratory development to pilot-scale validation and eventual commercialization.
