Brief description Battery Recycling without PFAS through a Steam Plasma Treatment. Battery recycling is vital for sustainable growth in E-mobility. However, the industry is facing a glaring challenge because the conventional thermal pre-treatment forms and releases PFAS chemicals, which are stringently regulated due to serious health and environmental impacts. This project aims to develop an innovative steam plasma treatment technology, which can simultaneously improve resource recovery and completely destruct PFAS. The project also incorporates environmental toxicology study and techno-economic analysis to ensure commercial competitiveness. The outcomes will enable an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly battery recycling process that will contribute to meeting zero-emission targets and building a resilient nation.
