Technology Minerals Plc
("Technology Minerals" or the "Company")
Recyclus appoints top Battery Recycling Engineer to Development
Team
Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the UK's pioneering firm in
establishing a circular economy for battery metals, is pleased to
announce that its 48.35% owned battery recycling business, Recyclus
Group Ltd ("Recyclus"), has appointed Anwar Sattar as its
Scientific Director, utilising his extensive expertise in
lithium-ion ("li-ion") battery recycling chemistries and
engineering.
Anwar is a highly accomplished Chemical Engineer bringing with
him over a decade of cutting-edge research and development
experience consisting of:
-- Four years as a Lead Engineer and one year as a Principal
Engineer in Battery Recycling, Re-use and Remanufacture at Warwick
Manufacturing Group ("WMG"), working on the development of next
generation battery recycling technologies
-- 18 months at European Metals Recycling (EMR) working on
developing processes and strategies for the recycling of electric
and hybrid vehicles
-- Two years at Axion Recycling working on the development of a black mass production line
-- Chemical Engineering PhD in Hydrogen and Fuel Cells from the
University of Birmingham and a Masters in Engineering from Aston
University
Robin Brundle, Chairman of Technology Minerals and Director of
Recyclus, said: "I am pleased to welcome Anwar, who joins our team
at Recyclus and I look forward to seeing the opportunities and
contributions he will provide to the development team.
"Anwar will be supporting our accelerated roll-out of additional
recycling plants across the UK. In addition, Anwar will be leading
our programme for inhouse separation of the black mass from our
recycling plants."
Anwar Sattar, incoming Scientific Director at Recyclus, said: "I
am thrilled to be joining Recyclus at such an exciting time, as it
continues to ramp up operations at the UK's first industrial scale
li-ion battery recycling plant. Having experienced first-hand
Recyclus' expertise in developing and manufacturing pioneering new
technologies whilst part of the WMG team, I am confident that
Recyclus will play an integral part in the UK's journey towards net
zero."
Recyclus' first UK li-ion plant is operational and is receiving
a steady influx of li-ion battery waste from various commercial
sources for which it has already achieved up to 45% net black mass
yield. It is the first industrial scale Li-ion battery recycling
plant in the UK and is permitted to process up to 22,000 tonnes of
batteries per year with the aim to process 8,300 in its first full
year of production.
Recyclus has a strong existing relationship with Anwar, having
held a collaborative partnership with WMG, the leading academic
group providing research, education and knowledge transfer in
engineering, management, manufacturing and technology, for a number
of years. The partnership is a strong endorsement of Recyclus'
expertise and innovation capabilities; most recently Recyclus was
selected to supply WMG with a li-ion battery shredder following a
competitive tender process, and WMG and Recyclus have also created
an Engineering Doctorate programme focused on battery recycling
technologies.
