Rubamin’s Hydromet Advantage

Pyrometallurgy based operations generate residues to be landfilled, lose metals during processing, reduce realizable value of metals and impact environment from the energy-intensive process. On the other hand, Rubamin’s Hydrometallurgical processes are waste-free, recover all metals, enhance value addition due to purity of end products and have minimal impact on the environment.

Because hydrometallurgical processes can be complicated to implement, they aren’t typically the first choice for recycling Li-Ion Batteries. Hydromet Units require large area due to multiplicity of processing steps, high capital expenditure and highly flexible production processes to take care of the variable feed. Also, the use of large quantity of water, resulting effluents and solid waste generation has limited its practice across the globe.

Rubamin has been practicing Hydrometallurgy for last three decades. Overtime, with inhouse research and innovations, we have eradicated the effluent and solid waste through secondary processing and value addition. We have even developed a large rainwater lake for process water needs to remove dependence on river water. Our co-located and fully Integrated R&D have lent flexibility to operations to handle heterogenous feed.

Rubamin finds itself well poised to use the expertise developed through decades of practice, experience and research for recycling Li-Ion Batteries in the most eco-friendly and cost-effective manner. Being aware of this opportunity and mega-trend we are investing heavily in research, process plant and infrastructure to superimpose Li-Ion Battery recycling in our existing Green Recycling Complex.
