  • PROCESS

  • Sulfuric Acid is utilized in the leaching process to extract metal ores from unprocessed extracted rock.

  • Sulphuric Acid is used in the synthesis and purifcation of vital intermediate metal salts and is also used to balance the pH of process water.

  • Iron sulphates are used to produce iron phosphate for LFP batteries. HCl is an alternative to HF in the synthesis of graphite anodes.

  • Chemical processing of black mass recovered through battery recycling.

  • Sodium and Ammonium Sulphate are common byproducts of the EV battery lifecycle. Chemtrade is exploring ESG-friendly ways to reuse and repurpose these products and avoid disposal.
