Australian mining firm Renascor Sources has accomplished gear trials for its deliberate purified spherical graphite (PSG) manufacturing facility in South Australia.
The trials produced graphite of the standard required for lithium-ion battery anodes throughout all focused product specs as much as 99.99% carbon—in contrast with the anode trade commonplace of 99.95% carbon. The checks have been additionally beneath trade impurity requirements. This additional validated Renascor’s hydrofluoric (HF)-free purification course of and supplied detailed gear specs for the power, in accordance with the corporate. The corporate has commenced engineering for the demonstration facility, which is scheduled to start out commissioning in Q2 2025.
Renascor is growing vertically built-in battery anode materials (BAM) manufacturing in South Australia comprising a graphite mining and processing operation and a downstream BAM facility that may refine graphite concentrates into PSG for export to lithium-ion battery anode producers.
“Renascor’s HF-free purification expertise has the potential to ship a globally aggressive PSG operation and advance Renascor in the direction of its objective of turning into a long-term producer of high-quality graphite merchandise to the lithium-ion battery sector,” stated David Christensen, Renascor’s Managing Director.
