Driving Quality and Safety in Electric Vehicle Battery Production
Most of today’s electric vehicles (EVs) rely on lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries due to their high-energy density. As these batteries have become increasingly more advanced, so has the manufacturing process required to produce them—a complex interplay of chemical...
Improving Ammonia Production Sustainability
Ammonia production, a cornerstone of global food security, carries a significant environmental footprint. While its output is essential for producing fertilizers to feed billions, it accounts for 1.8% of global CO2 emissions, releasing around 500 million tonnes...
Chemical Recycling of Plastic Waste via Conversion
Only about 9% of the world’s plastic waste is recycled, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Many post-consumer plastics are considered unrecyclable via traditional mechanical methods and end up in landfills, get incinerated,...

Improving Production, Safety and Reliability in Midstream Lithium Production
One of the challenges expressed by lithium battery manufacturers is that they have to be fast and agile because each of their customers may have different formulations for the cathode, anode, and electrolyte material.
Improving Quality in Midstream Lithium Production
The midstream part of the lithium value chain involves manufacturing the Cathode, Anode, Electrolyte, and Separator. We will focus on the cathode, anode, and electrolyte in this series of posts. The process for making the Cathode, Anode, and Electrolyte is very similar. The process involves batch reactors and mixing.
Solving Battery Production Growth Challenges
The growth of lithium-ion battery production for electric vehicles will occur in mining, battery component manufacturing, and battery cell production from an automation standpoint.
