BASF y Nanotech Energy han llegado a un acuerdo para cerrar el ciclo de las bater\u00edas de iones de litio en Norteam\u00e9rica. BASF producir\u00e1 en Michigan materiales activos cat\u00f3dicos a partir de metales reciclados para las pilas de iones de litio producidas por Nanotech Energy. <\/p>\n
BASF afirma que ser\u00e1 la primera empresa de Norteam\u00e9rica en suministrar materiales activos para c\u00e1todos producidos con metales reciclados a escala comercial a partir de 2024, pero con el apoyo de American Battery Technology Company.<\/p>\n
ABTC es una empresa de reciclaje de bater\u00edas en Reno, Nevada, como inform\u00f3<\/a>. Tambi\u00e9n forma parte de la nueva red TODA Advanced Materials, especializada en la fabricaci\u00f3n de pCAM (precursor del material activo cat\u00f3dico) y material de hidr\u00f3xido met\u00e1lico. Toda tiene su sede en Ontario, Canad\u00e1, y es el \u00faltimo eslab\u00f3n de la \"cadena de valor localizada de bater\u00edas para las industrias norteamericanas de electr\u00f3nica de consumo y automoci\u00f3n\" de BASF.<\/p>\n A lo largo de esa cadena, la chatarra de las bater\u00edas y el material fuera de especificaci\u00f3n de la planta piloto de Nanotech en Chico (California) y de su proyectada instalaci\u00f3n comercial ser\u00e1n reciclados por ABTC. Los socios explican que los metales recuperados por ABTC -como el n\u00edquel, el cobalto, el manganeso y el litio- ser\u00e1n utilizados posteriormente por TODA y BASF para producir nuevos precursores y materiales activos cat\u00f3dicos. A continuaci\u00f3n, Nanotech reutilizar\u00e1 estos materiales en su producci\u00f3n de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00eda, cerrando as\u00ed el bucle.<\/p>\n Daniel Sch\u00f6nfelder, vicepresidente senior de Metales Base para Bater\u00edas y Reciclaje de BASF, calific\u00f3 la asociaci\u00f3n con Nanotech, ABTC y TODA de \"paso importante para el negocio global de reciclaje de bater\u00edas de BASF\".<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BASF y Nanotech Energy han llegado a un acuerdo para cerrar el ciclo de las bater\u00edas de iones de litio en Norteam\u00e9rica.

The battery recycling plant<\/a> is currently under construction. It shall come online by 2024.<\/p>\n BASF also appears to plan a battery recycling plant in Tarragona, Spain.
