Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Research and Development
Description
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) determines the concentration of specific metal elements in a solution by measuring how much light a sample absorbs at wavelengths characteristic of each target element. As a hard skill it requires correct instrument setup for flame or graphite-furnace mode, preparation of matrix-matched calibration standards, and detection-limit verification against regulatory or process specifications. R&D scientists apply AAS to quantify lithium, cobalt, manganese, and other critical metals in electrolyte digests, leachate from recycling processes, and dissolution samples from battery materials characterization.

Conference
Topic
Battery - E-Waste Reuse & Recycling
Description
As the use of battery-powered consumer goods, industrial and commercial equipment and electric vehicles grows worldwide, the volume of discarded batteries continues to increase. Yet only a fraction of these batteries and other high-value components are collected and recycled properly. At the same time, the generation of other forms of universal waste (UW), such as solar panels, lamps and small electronics, continues to expand, creating more challenges but also opportunities for responsible materials management and value recovery. In a society where stored power and green energy play an increasingly vital role, it’s imperative to recycle batteries and other UW to harness their raw material value while also protecting the environment and safeguarding valuable assets. To better serve recyclers and generators of batteries, solar panels and other UW streams navigating today’s ever-changing landscape, we’ve expanded the scope of our event. What was previously the Battery and Critical Metals Recycling Conference is now the Battery and Universal Waste Recycling Conference, broadening our scope to the full spectrum of the universal waste stream. This exceptional event delves into the complexities, challenges and opportunities surrounding battery and UW recycling.

Circular Economy
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Equipment Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing
Description
Circular economy practices in battery manufacturing close the loop on critical minerals — lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite — by designing for disassembly, recycling, and reuse. As a hard skill it requires understanding hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recovery processes, second-life cell qualification, and supply chain traceability of recovered materials. Operators apply these techniques to reduce dependence on primary mining, lower production costs, and meet emerging regulatory requirements around mineral provenance.
Title
Density Functional Theory (DFT)
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Computational
Description
Density functional theory (DFT) is the dominant quantum-mechanical method for computing the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and materials from first principles, used to predict crystal structures, reaction energetics, electronic properties, and phase stability. As a hard skill it requires setting up and running calculations in codes like VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, or CP2K, selecting exchange-correlation functionals appropriate to the material class, converging k-point and plane-wave cutoff parameters, and interpreting band structures, density of states, and formation energies. Battery researchers apply DFT to screen cathode and electrolyte candidates, compute lithium migration barriers, and rationalize observed capacity and voltage data with atomistic-level understanding.

Elemental/chemical Analysis
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Research and Development
Description
Elemental and chemical analysis encompasses the suite of techniques — combustion analysis, ICP, AAS, XRF, EDX, ion chromatography — used to determine the elemental or molecular composition of a sample quantitatively. As a hard skill it requires selecting the right method for the matrix and concentration range, preparing certified reference standards, and applying the technique's calibration model correctly to convert raw instrument output into accurate concentration data. Battery R&D teams apply elemental analysis to verify cathode stoichiometry, certify incoming raw materials, track impurity levels in electrolytes, and close mass balances in recycling process development.
Title
Flotation Cell
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Research and Development
Description
Flotation cells separate valuable mineral particles from gangue by generating fine air bubbles in a slurry, to which hydrophobic particles selectively attach and float to the surface for collection. As a hard skill it requires understanding frother and collector reagent chemistry, adjusting impeller speed, air flow, and pH to maximize recovery and grade, and interpreting concentrate and tailings assays to diagnose process performance. Battery researchers and process engineers apply flotation to concentrate lithium minerals such as spodumene and lepidolite from ore, and to recover critical minerals from black mass in lithium-ion battery recycling.
Title
Hazardous Waste Management
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Equipment Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing
Description
Hazardous waste management in refining and chemical processing handles spent catalysts, solvents, sludges, and contaminated water under RCRA and equivalent state regulations, from point of generation through treatment and disposal. Practitioners classify wastes, manage manifests and storage limits, and select treatment paths — incineration, stabilization, recycling — that minimize risk and cost. Sound waste management is a regulatory necessity and a meaningful operating cost lever, especially as the industry pushes toward circularity and emissions reduction.

PH Meter
Type
Hard Skills
Topic
Research and Development
Description
A pH meter measures hydrogen ion activity in a solution via a glass electrode whose potential varies with pH, providing an accurate reading of acidity or alkalinity in aqueous and near-aqueous systems. As a hard skill it requires calibrating with at least two certified buffer solutions that bracket the expected sample pH, conditioning and storing the electrode correctly, and applying temperature compensation and ionic strength corrections for accurate results. Battery researchers use pH measurement to characterize aqueous electrolyte and rinse solutions, monitor cathode precursor precipitation reactions where pH determines particle morphology and stoichiometry, and assess spent electrolyte and black mass leachate in recycling process development.
