American Manganese Granted Its Second Patent in Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling

 

 

 

 

 

American Manganese Inc. (TSX-V: AMY) (OTC US: AMYZF) (FSE: 2AM), is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trade Mark Office has issued patent No. 10308523B1. The patent was issued within 12 weeks from the date of filing on March 14, 2019 bringing AMY’s patent portfolio to six patents and an additional seven filed for recycling around the globe. This is AMY’s second granted patent regarding the recycling of cathode materials into precursor cathode materials for new lithium-ion batteries.

 

The granted patent adds the following enhanced developments to the Company’s breakthrough RecycLiCoTM process:

 

  • Recovery of graphite and carbon from ground battery concentrates
  • Treatment of fluoride originating from electrolyte solution
  • Separation of aluminum from cathode active material

 

AMY’s patent portfolio enables the company to leverage near-term commercial opportunities by recycling pre-production scrap cathode material and disassembled end-of-life lithium-ion batteries from NCA (lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide), NMC (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide), and LCO (lithium cobalt oxide) chemistries. AMY’s patent portfolio differs from other lithium-ion battery recyclers because it does not require any high heat smelting and produces a precursor cathode material for use in the manufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries.

 

“We are pleased with the enhancements of our patent portfolio as global demand for lithium-ion battery recycling increases,” said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. “Our contractor, Kemetco Research, has done an extraordinary job on the continuing development and operation of the RecycLiCo pilot plant while recognizing process flowsheet enhancements.”
