Forschung » Kreislaufwirtschaft von Batterien
Das IME repräsentiert den Bereich der Prozessmetallurgie und Metallrecycling an der RWTH Aachen. Aufgrund eines wachsenden öffentlichen, politischen und industriellen Interesses am Batterie-Recycling hat das IME systematisch optimale pyrometallurgische und hydrometallurgische Recycling-Konzepte für alle gängigen Batteriesysteme entwickelt. Dies erfolgte in Zusammenarbeit mit Industriepartnern und auch mittels öffentlich geförderter Projekte.
Einige dieser Methoden wurden bereits industriell umgesetzt und wurden als BAT (Best Available Technology) eingestuft.
Das IME entwickelt auch weitere, innovative und effiziente Recycling-Konzepte für die Batterien der Zukunft (Next Generation Batteries).
Die Energiespeicherung ist eine zentrale Herausforderung für die globale Wende hin zu erneuerbaren Energien. Hier können Lithium-Ionen-Batterien (LIB) als führende Technologie gesehen werden. Die Forschung am IME im Bereich des Batterie-Recyclings berücksichtigt auch die Umweltauswirkungen der Extraktion, Behandlung und Verarbeitung von kritischen Rohstoffen für LIB.
