Prof. Francesca Pagnanelli during the presentation

An important conference on the role of batteries in the energy transition was held in Rome at the ENEL auditorium in Viale Regina Margherita on June, 25th.
Important technical experts in the field participated in the event.
Prof. Pagnanelli presented the objectives and results achieved to date in the Life LiBat project.

Policy Implications

Policy Implications

The LIBAT project aims at the pilot-scale demonstration of an innovative process for the recycling of primary lithium batteries (Li (0) / MnO2 batteries). The proposed process integrates a mechanical pre-treatment with a hydrometallurgical treatment in order to recover plastic materials, ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. The project will allow to increase and reach a recycling percentage greater than 50%.
