New approach separates lithium and valuable transition metals from recycled battery feedstock
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2024) – Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (OTCQB: TELIF)(“telescope” or “company“) leads the development of advanced technologies and services for the global pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The company focuses on process innovation, particularly in the production of pharmaceutical compounds and battery materials. Telescope We announced that we have demonstrated a proof of concept for a unique technology: a recrystallization process that efficiently separates battery raw materials (such as lithium and nickel salts) from mixed recycled slurry.This new technology disrupts battery recycling methods. It has the potential to strengthen the battery materials supply chain and support the global transition to clean energy economies.
Alternative to current battery recycling that uses large amounts of reagents
Traditionally, individual metals (lithium, Li, nickel, Ni, cobalt, Co, and manganese, Mn) have been separated from battery recycling brine in progressive steps that each require additional reagents. Separated components often require further purification by crystallization to isolate the raw materials. In contrast, Telescope’s selective recrystallization technology isolates highly pure salts directly from brine without the use of additional reagents (Figure 1).

The process relies solely on delicate control of the crystallization temperature, rather than on the addition of reagents. This level of control is made possible by Telescope’s advanced analytical technology and automation tools that provide continuous process feedback. The company has demonstrated a recrystallization method to separate nickel and lithium salt crystals from recycled synthetic battery brine, and plans to expand the range of materials that can be separated.
“We aim to simplify the battery recycling flowsheet and reduce reagent costs.” Jason Hein, Telescope CTO, said: “We are excited about the potential of this research to impact the life cycle of battery materials and address pressing global demand for critical minerals.”
