Veolia has signed a contract with POSCO Lithium Solution (POSCO Holdings) to design and deliver an integrated conversion system featuring its high purification and HPD® crystallization technology, a key process used in the refining of battery material salts required for the manufacture of advanced electric batteries.
This advanced technology will make the production process more sustainable and water-efficient. The patented chemical conversion maximizes reuse of the condensate generated, with a recovery rate of over 94%, significantly reducing the water footprint of the industrial process.
