GEA at the E-Waste World, Battery Recycling and Metal Recycling Expos 2024

E-Waste World, Battery Recycling and Metal Recycling Expos 2024

Do not miss this simultaneous event in Frankfurt!
Hall 5.1 Booth C90
June 26th & 27th, 2024.

In this simultaneous event, three different tradeshows will be happening at once. GEA will be taking part at two of them: Battery Recycling & Metal Recycling.

The increasing global demand for raw materials is confronted with their finite nature. Hence, it is of the utmost importance to responsibly recycle and use already processed metals.

Recycling metals from WEEE waste and end-of-life lithium battery components is thriving as a solution to the raw materials’ scarcity and dependency on imports, plus it reduces the environmental and energetical impact generated by their extraction while enabling the reduction of CO2 emissions.

 

GEA’s contribution to multi-metal recycling plants

Each recycling process generates off-gas and exhaust air that needs to be treated to avoid contributing to greenhouse gases emissions and comply with environmental standards. The pollutants in the primary off gas are usually cleaned through electrostatic precipitators and gas scrubbers, however, depending on the contaminants, recycling plants often requires special or additional gas cleaning equipment to further reduce the sulfur, halogen and NOx content to meet emissions limits.

At GEA we have decades of experience in non-ferrous applications with acid process gases and our portfolio covers a huge range of required proven gas cleaning technologies. At the Metal Recycling Expo we will be showcasing our profound know-how and expertise in tailored gas cleaning solutions.

Attend our lecture

“Off-Gas Cleaning Plants for E-Scrap and Battery Recycling”
Speaker: Miguel González, Senior Director Sales Support & Process Engineering Non-Ferrous & Chemical
June 27th at the Metal Recycling Conference & Expo
13:20 – 13:45

 

GEA’s contribution to end-of-life batteries recycling

Hydrometallurgy is the most common method to extract and separate metals contained in li-ion batteries’ black mass. The process consists of an initial leaching of black mass in an acid to allow for minerals to be solubilized and separated from the carbon. 

Afterwards, the metals in solution are either precipitated by pH variation or extracted from each other using organic solvents. Once metals have been extracted into a solution they are selectively crystallized as battery grade salts.

At GEA we have over a century of expertise on evaporation and crystallization, we have designed and fabricated centrifugal separators, evaporators and crystallizers suitable for all process steps of the recycle process. At the Battery Recycling Expo we will be showcasing our deep know-how of the hydrometallurgical process.

Attend our lecture

“Closing the Gap between Battery Recycling and Battery Production”
Speaker: Jürgen Schürhoff, Senior Sales & Technology Manager Crystallization
June 27th at the Battery Recycling Conference & Expo
13:45-14:05
