Molten Salt Gasification Process. Western Hydrogen Limited reported first production of hydrogen from its Molten Salt Gasification (MSG) pilot plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The MSG process occurs in a single high-pressure reactor in which a carbon-based feedstock and water react with a molten salt bath.

Illustration of the process to restore lithium ions to degraded NMC cathodes using eutectic molten salts at ambient pressure. The team is tuning this process so that it can be used to recycle any type of cathode materials used in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. The work was published in Advanced Energy Materials.
