Abstract

Electric vehicles are expected to dramatically increase the demand for nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) over the next two decades. Europe is expected to face difficulties in securing a reliable, affordable and sustainable supply chain as the concentration of such minerals in the continent is scarce. The EU-funded ENICON project aims to improve the refining capacity of domestic and imported low-grade Ni/Co. ENICON’s metal recovery route using hydrochloric acid dispenses with the old-school hydro-based approach that involves continuously precipitating and redissolving metals. Thus, it reduces the amount of chemicals needed for metal dissolution, which result in the production of potentially harmful waste streams.
