Calcination and sintering in cathode manufacturing

Meta description: Lithium-ion battery cathode production requires calcination and sintering to ensure optimal material quality, efficiency, and performance.

Anode material manufacturing

As demand for high-quality anode material increases, so does the need for reliable heating processes with long-life heating elements that require minimal maintenance.

Sulphuric acid roasting of spodumene

An electrically heated kiln for acid roasting of spodumene is both a simpler and more thermally efficient technology.

Recycling

The growth in electric cars and other electronics, combined with high nickel prices, means that the recycling of lithium-ion batteries is becoming an increasingly important industry. This has created new processes for extracting nickel and other metals from old batteries, which then need to be
