🌐 Unlocking Innovation in ICP-OES: This week, we delve into the critical topic of raw materials, particularly focusing on the exponential demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
⚡️ The EU faces a challenge in bridging the gap between raw material demand and supply, prompting the identification of „Critical Raw Materials“ by the European Commission.
🔋 With LIB demand set to soar, there’s a crucial need for sustainable solutions. The EU Battery Directive emphasizes responsible waste management, especially for hazardous waste from spent LIBs.
♻️ Enter soft solvometallurgy using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) — a game-changer in metal recovery. Its advantages? High efficiency, cost-effectiveness, biodegradability, and the ability to dissolve metal oxides.
Let’s propel ICP-OES into the future, addressing raw material challenges with sustainable innovations! 💡🔄
