Chemistry agnostic
A single platform handles NMC, LFP, LCO, and mixed chemistries — simplifying feedstock logistics for partners with diverse battery streams.
Platform overview
The technology stack is fully indigenised — collection, shredding, metal leaching, and downstream purification developed and patented in-house, with support from the Technology Development Board.
Dual-mode black mass
Wet and dry recovery pathways ensure high separation efficiency regardless of feedstock moisture, state of charge, or form factor.
IoT-enabled operations
Automated monitoring across collection, preprocessing, and refining — real-time process data for quality assurance and partner reporting.
Mechanical preprocessing
Safe, efficient front-end handling determines recovery yield for everything downstream.
- 01
Discharge and stabilisation
Cells and packs are fully discharged under controlled conditions before any mechanical handling begins.
- 02
Mechanical dismantling
Automated and semi-automated lines separate housings, electronics, and active material with operator safety protocols.
- 03
Size reduction and sorting
Shredding and screening produce uniform feedstock for black mass generation — with secondary recovery of aluminium, copper, steel, and plastics.
Recovered products
Materials meet global specifications for battery manufacturing, industrial chemical use, and export — with documented purity and chain of custody.
Black mass
Concentrated intermediate containing lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and graphite — less than 1% impurities.
Lithium carbonate
Micronized, battery-grade lithium carbonate suitable for cathode manufacturing and industrial applications.
Cobalt sulphate
Premium-grade cobalt sulphate for NMC and LCO cathode material production.
Nickel sulphate
High-purity nickel sulphate for lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery cell manufacturing.
Manganese carbonate
Battery-grade manganese carbonate for cathode chemistries and chemical applications.
Secondary materials
Recovered plastic, aluminium, steel, and copper from mechanical preprocessing — available for industrial sale.
Feedstock acceptance
BatX accepts lithium-ion material across chemistries, form factors, and source types.
Chemistries
NMC, NCA, LFP, LCO, and mixed or unidentified lithium-ion streams.
Form factors
Complete packs, modules, prismatic cells, cylindrical cells, and pouch cells.
Sources
OEM warranty returns, production scrap, fleet end-of-life, aggregator collections, and enterprise take-back programs.
Low-temperature, low-pressure — designed for scale and sustainability
Unlike high-temperature pyrometallurgy, BatX's hydrometallurgical process operates at lower energy intensity with higher material selectivity — delivering purer outputs and a smaller environmental footprint.
