The purified lithium is converted into electrolytes, which act as a conductive medium in batteries. Lithium is combined with other materials to form anodes and cathodes, essential for battery production. GEA's spray drying technology produces high-quality lithium cathode and anode materials, enabling the production of resource-efficient batteries.
Finally, the electrodes and electrolytes are assembled into battery cells. And assembled in large blocks integrated in various devices such as electronic vehicles.

Recycling lithium batteries is crucial to reduce environmental impact and reuse valuable resources. The recycling process involves several steps to recover and reuse the materials:
Efficient recycling of lithium batteries helps close the loop of material usage and promotes circularity in battery production.
By combining advanced manufacturing processes and effective recycling methods, lithium becomes a key resource for the future of energy.
With a rich history in supplying systems for the purification, recovery, and drying of organic& inorganic chemicals, we leverage our advanced separation, evaporation, crystallization, and drying technologies. Our cutting-edge R&D capabilities are designed to optimize process design, ensuring efficient product quality and minimizing performance risks. We design and supply commercial equipment, taking full responsibility for the processes we develop. We offer complete process guarantees, seamlessly scaling up from lab to commercial systems.
In lithium-ion battery production, high-purity precursor materials are essential. Our technological expertise and specialized testing enable us to identify the right processes to achieve the desired purity levels, even from unique sources with varying contaminant levels. This is particularly important for sensitive compounds like nickel and cobalt.
