Pilot 3: A singular facility with unique Treatment and recovery of batteries Black Mass
This task will focus on finalizing the scaling-up of the processing plant of ORANO, designed to recover from the black mass the critical raw materials, by means of particular Hydrometallurgical recovery processes using a unique TRL 7 technology developed by ORANO.
Sub Pilot A
Innovative recycling process design & implementation, which will include:
- In place process stage logistics: feedstock collection and sorting,− Pre-treatment steps – including a process unit: safe opening, module deactivation
- Active materials access and separation
- Recovery and valorization of all battery components (Lithium, polymers, Cu, other fractions).
Sub Pilot B
Pilot processing plant will be benchmarked and scaled up from previous project RECYVABAT.
BATMASS with the objective to develop and upscale the pilot to industrial scale: from 1 ton of modules per day processed by pilot to around 50 tons of module per day for the first industrial plant.
