Electra Battery Materials has started testing out its battery recycling demonstration plant at its Temiskaming refinery site.
The company announced Oct. 13 that plant commissioning is now underway following the installation of two key circuits, a material feed handling system and a lime delivery system.
Toronto-based Electra is retrofitting an existing refinery, located between the town of Cobalt and the City of Temiskaming Shores, into a cobalt and nickel sulfate refinery. It’s part of a larger industrial build-out on the property, which will feature a recycling plant.
