06 · Hydrometallurgy
Recovering critical minerals from Black Mass.
BlackMass Energies is developing hydrometallurgical capabilities for the recovery of valuable elements from Black Mass — the next step in the critical-mineral value chain.
01
Leaching
Dissolving target metals from Black Mass into solution.
02
Solid-Liquid Separation
Removing insoluble residues from metal-bearing solution.
03
Impurity Removal
Eliminating unwanted elements and contaminants.
04
Selective Separation
Separating individual metals by chemical properties.
05
Purification
Increasing purity of target metal streams.
06
Precipitation
Converting dissolved metals into solid intermediates.
07
Crystallization
Producing refined chemical products.
07 · MHP & Metal Intermediates
The bridge between Black Mass and refined minerals.
Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) is a key hydrometallurgical intermediate. It creates a direct bridge between battery recycling and battery manufacturing.
