American Manganese Pilot Plant Achieves High Extraction from Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode Material
SURREY, BC / April 11, 2019 / American Manganese Inc. ("American Manganese" or "AMY" or the "Company"), is pleased to report independent analytical results from the Company's contract lab, Kemetco Research, an integrated science, technology and innovation company.
Kemetco selected several batches of commercially available scrap NMC (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt) and scrap NCA (lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum) battery cathode material sourced in large quantities from a U.S. recycler.
The material was tested in stages 1 and 2 of the pilot plant operation using the newly developed technology that was subject of AMY's recent CIP patent application filing. Kemetco conducted a separation of the cathode active material from aluminum foil. Subsequently, the separated active material was processed with AMY's patented process.
