Chinese steel group Tsingshan investing $375M to build lithium plant in Argentina with Eramet

Green Car Congress

China’s Tsingshan , the world’s largest producer of stainless steel, will invest $375 million to build a lithium plant in Argentina with French multinational mining and metallurgy company Eramet. Fresh water is then used to release the stored lithium. 3,500/t LCE EXW), with large-scale drainable resources (nearly 10 Mt LCE).

Fraunhofer team develops process to recycle carbon black from car tires

Green Car Congress

A new process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP is able to isolate almost all of this ash—allowing both the carbon black and the minerals from the ash to be reused. Around three kilograms of carbon black—also known as industrial soot—are found in a standard car tire. © Fraunhofer IBP.

Synthetic biology startup Lygos closes $13M Series A to target oil-based specialty chemical industry

Green Car Congress

The current process used to produce malonic acid requires sodium cyanide and chloroacetic acid; Lygos’ engineered yeast produces malonic acid from sugar and CO 2. Most specialty chemicals manufactured from oil today can also be made using Lygos’ technology of engineered microbes with sugar and water. Earlier post.).

New mesoporous crystalline Si exhibits increased rate of H2 production; potential use in Li-ion batteries also

Green Car Congress

The nanosized crystalline primary particles and high surface areas enable an increased rate of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water and extended working life. Instead, Wang’s team uses a chemically based method that builds up the material rather than removing it. They then treat the material with a sodium potassium alloy.
