A refinery, not a recycler
Battery Metals keeps the metal in America's batteries in America, and refines it to the same standard as metal from a mine.
Refining battery metal in the U.S.
Most battery recycling stops at black mass, an intermediate shipped elsewhere for refining. We are building the capability to refine it in the United States, from whole batteries to metal.
And the metal we refine is not limited to new batteries. Our nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese and graphite serve aerospace, steel, the grid and defense as well as electric vehicles. Circular does not mean batteries only.
Battery Metals, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in North Carolina. Our team brings together experience in metals refining, battery recycling, industrial engineering and project delivery.
What our team does
One site, from receiving dock to finished metal
Receiving, discharge, shredding, leaching, purification and refining in one integrated plant.
A hydrometallurgical flowsheet with front-end engineering complete.
Nickel, cobalt and copper cathode designed to LME grade, plus lithium carbonate, manganese sulfate solution and recycled graphite.
We are reserving feedstock capacity with suppliers now.
Built to be a good neighbor
Batteries are received, discharged and processed under controlled conditions, with storage and handling designed around lithium battery fire risk.
Our process is designed to regenerate its own acid and caustic on site, so it leaves no sodium sulfate waste.
