Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling – Recovering the valuable metals.
The demand for lithium-ion batteries being produced for use in consumer electronics and electric vehicles has exploded in recent years. This trend is expected to continue as more and more states are pushing, and in some cases legislating the move to all-electric cars in the not-too-distant future. Ultimately this will create a growing need for technologies to recover and recycle the materials used in these batteries. Metals used in lithium-ion batteries are both valuable and toxic. This raises the question of how the metals in these batteries can be safely recovered and reused.
The Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto, have been investigating the use of Supercritical CO2 along with several key modifiers to enhance the recovery of these metals. Their study “develops a supercritical fluid extraction process using supercritical CO2 solvent with tributyl phosphate–nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide adduct to recover the four metals from the LIBs of electric vehicles.”

Deltech have been manufacturing laboratory furnaces for over 50 years, so our team of experts are more than capable of designing and developing the ideal furnace system to meet your needs. We can work towards unique applications and offer unlimited personal support both during and after the purchase.
Laboratory furnaces are used for a wide range of applications where an item needs to be heated within a furnace chamber. Laboratory furnaces are used frequently across the manufacturing and science industries for drying, baking and curing. However, furnaces can be built to suit a variety of applications and therefore their features may vary across models. In this blog post we will be discussing the 5 essential features of a laboratory furnace you need to consider before making a purchase.
Laboratory furnaces can be manufactured depending on their applications or the needs of the scientists. It is therefore important that you are aware of what features are essential to your production and choose the laboratory furnace that will most suit your needs.
At Filtcon 2021, the yearly conference of the American Filtration and Separation Society, our POROLUX™ 50 was awarded ‘Product of the Year 2020’! We are very proud and honoured by this recognition of our First Bubble Point Tester, another reason to celebrate for our ‘baby Porometer’.
Key advantages of the POROLUX™ 50:
The instrument determines the First Bubble Point in an automated way by using digital pressure and flow sensors. In this way, the subjective operator’s opinion as to when the first continuous stream of bubbles is detected, is eliminated.
Simplified operation and high reproducibility of the first bubble point measurements.
The POROLUX™ 50 provides results for both the calculated and measured bubble point.

Magnetic Suspension Balance technology allows high resolution mass determination under extreme conditions. An industrial microbalance is located outside the cell. Thanks to contactless magnetic suspension coupling, mass changes within the pressurized cell can be determined. When performing a measurement, the sample whose mass change is being measured is attached to a permanent magnet. The actual position is detected and controlled via a high-performance PID controller. In order to establish a free levitation position for permanent magnet and measurement object, voltage is applied to a electromagnet outside of the measurement cell. This allows the sample mass to be measured contact free under extreme conditions. Load decoupling allows the object weight being measured to be substracted for taring or calibrating the measurement signal. In this case, only the permanent magnet remains in levitation position (zero-point position). When measuring point is selected, the measurement object is liftet, corresponding weight is detected by the microbalance.
• Simultaneous Measurement of two Samples – The Magnetic Suspension Balance can simultaneously measure two different sample materials or sinker (Dual sample version)
• Viewing Cell – The Magnetic Suspension Balance is also available in a viewing cell version, allowing the visual observation of fluids and materials inside the measurement cell
• Forced Flow Through Measurement Conditions – The Magnetic Suspension Balance can be equipped with a forced flow though sample crucible which improves interaction between sample and surrounding fluid atmosphere.
• Advanced Magnetic Suspension Balance Technology- The Balance is equipped with unique features, e.g. a self-optimizing Magnetic Suspension Balance controller as well as a failsafe high speed ethernet interface.
