Cooperation AkkuSer Oy and OMG Kokkola Chemicals Oy

Subject: Recycling the Cathode Material of Lithium-Ion Batteries

The most valuable recyclable component of Lithium-Ion batteries is the lithium cobalt oxide cathode contained in the battery. OMG Kokkola Chemicals Oy has agreed to receive cathode material that is separated out from Akkuser Oy’s Lithium-Ion batteries for use as raw material in its cobalt production. The key area of business in OMG’s cobalt production is the cobalt products used in the production of the cathodes of Lithium-Ion batteries. Co-operation with Akkuser Oy makes it possible to recycle the cobalt content from Lithium-Ion batteries back to manufacturers of battery cathode materials. Thus the cobalt of batteries is recovered entirely.

OMG Kokkola Chemicals Oy is responsible for the chemical analysis and safe treatment of cathode material that is returned for recycling in the company’s process.

Co-operation with Akkuser Oy is also supported by its close proximity in Nivala, about 100 km from Kokkola.

Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta Oy (NNH) and Akkuser Oy have an agreement, which is effective until further notice, on the recycling of nickel-bearing waste separated out in connection with the crushing of batteries. NNH processes the material in Boliden Harjavalta Oy’s nickel smelting plant and NNH’s nickel plant; the resulting final product is metallic nickel.
