Rio Tinto declares maiden ore reserve at Jadar; major potential source of battery-grade lithium carbonate

Green Car Congress

Pre-feasibility studies have shown that the Jadar project has the potential to produce both battery-grade lithium carbonate and boric acid. The consumption of sulfuric acid is predictable with negligible chemical reaction of most gangue minerals—apart from a portion of the carbonates and soluble chlorides.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine. However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Umicore is offering our customers low-carbon options in our supply chain.

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

Graphite is a pure form of carbon. This crystalline carbon allotrope is good for more than just pencils—it’s found in every EV battery anode, and producing graphite in the forms needed to build high-performance battery cells is a complex and exacting process. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms. John DeMaio: Correct.

WHO links 7 million premature deaths annually to air pollution; 12.5% of total global deaths

Green Car Congress

Poor women and children pay a heavy price from indoor air pollution since they spend more time at home breathing in smoke and soot from leaky coal and wood cook stoves. The major components of PM are sulfate, nitrates, ammonia, sodium chloride, black carbon, mineral dust and water. Earlier post.)
