Mining: Extraction of raw materials from the
earth.
Precipitation: Chemical separation of desired
elements.
Drying: Removal of moisture from the precipitate.
Calcination: Heating to high temperatures to
alter chemical structure.
Environmental Impact
Why it's problematic: This phase generates
significant sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) waste, which can be difficult to
dispose of and harmful to local ecosystems if not managed correctly.
It also consumes substantial amounts of water and energy.
CAM Phase
Process Steps
Milling: Grinding materials to a fine powder.
Drying: Further moisture removal.
Calcination: Repeated high-temperature heating.
QC & Pack: Quality control testing and packaging.
Environmental Impact
Why it's problematic: The repeated calcination
steps are extremely energy-intensive, contributing to a high carbon
footprint. Large volumes of water are also used and contaminated
during the washing and processing stages.
Cathode Phase
Process Steps
Delivery: Transport of CAM to the battery
factory.
Mixing: Blending CAM with binders and additives.
Coating: Applying the mixture to current
collectors.
Drying: Evaporating solvents.
Calendaring: Compressing the electrode.
Baking: Final heat treatment.
Environmental Impact
Why it's problematic: While necessary, this phase
adds logistical complexity and further energy consumption.
Traditional processes often use toxic solvents (like NMP) that
require expensive recovery systems.
