One-step pre-treatment process that extracts and refines critical battery elements
Advanced refinement technology.
Problem
Black mass contains lithium, graphite, fluorine, and aluminum, which disrupt refining and increase costs.
Traditional recycling methods face multiple challenges: fluorine forms corrosive HF, driving up maintenance; excess aluminum raises acid use and waste sludge; trapped metals reduce recovery; lithium disrupts processing; and tar-like byproducts clog equipment. Upgrades are costly, and variable black mass fuels yield uncertainties.

Solution
GreenLIB complements existing smelters and recyclers by providing a low-temperature, water-based pre-treatment that eliminates HF and PFAS, reducing corrosion and downtime. We remove aluminum early—cutting acid use and sludge—while extracting lithium and graphite to boost nickel and cobalt recovery. By slashing binder residues, we prevent system failures and ensure stable yields.
The result? Lower costs, fewer shutdowns, and a consistent metal output, raising asset value for our partners and driving a cleaner, more efficient future in battery recycling.
