Regulatory compliance
Structured handling that meets environmental and hazardous waste requirements for lithium-ion battery streams in India.
The recovery line
A sequential, auditable process — each stage gated by safety checks and quality controls before material advances.
- 01
Collection and registration
Battery material arrives at a BatX spoke or partner collection point. Each shipment is weighed, photographed, and assigned a unique tracking ID with full chain-of-custody documentation.
- 02
Sorting and safety screening
Material is classified by chemistry, form factor, and state of health. Damaged or high-risk cells are flagged and routed to specialised handling protocols.
- 03
Discharge and preprocessing
Packs are fully discharged, dismantled, and mechanically reduced. Secondary materials — aluminium, copper, steel, plastics — are separated for reuse or sale.
- 04
Black mass production
Active material is concentrated through BatX's dual-mode (wet and dry) process into high-purity black mass — the intermediate feedstock for metal extraction.
- 05
Hydrometallurgical leaching
Black mass enters a low-temperature, low-pressure leaching circuit. Lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese are selectively extracted into solution.
- 06
Purification and precipitation
Solution is purified and converted into battery-grade compounds — lithium carbonate, cobalt sulphate, nickel sulphate, and manganese carbonate.
- 07
Quality assurance and dispatch
Final products are tested against specification, documented, and dispatched to buyers. Partners receive recovery reports tied to their original feedstock.
Why partners choose BatX
Formal recycling capacity with process control — not informal dismantling or undocumented export.
Domestic value retention
Critical minerals stay in India's supply chain instead of being lost to informal processing or offshore export.
Second-life assessment
Batteries with remaining capacity are evaluated for reuse in stationary storage before entering the recycling line.
Traceability is built into the line, not bolted on afterward
OEMs and enterprise partners need proof that their batteries were handled responsibly and that recovered materials are accounted for. BatX provides documented chain of custody and recovery reporting at every stage.
