Design and Innovation Day is an annual event showcasing the results of engineering students as a result of a year-long dedication and commitment to their undergraduate engineering capstone projects. One of the Materials Engineering students team unveiled a solution for battery recycling in their project entitled “Recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBS)”.
In partnership with Hatch, the team developed a hydrometallurgical process to recover essential metals like nickel, lithium, manganese, and cobalt from used batteries. Their innovative approach not only allows economic viability but also carries the potential for significant environmental benefits. This project marks a significant step towards a cleaner, greener future in energy production.
Congratulations to the students on their achievement! Read the full article on the UBC Engineering Website
