Helping Secure the World’s Supply of Critical Minerals

LiGenerate recovers high-value metals from battery black mass and mineral concentrates using our proprietary Solid State Reduction™ platform.

OUR SOLUTIONS

The Critical Metal Bottleneck

Critical metals are strategically vital to Western industries yet are becoming increasingly difficult to secure.

Valuable critical materials are often left unrecovered, trapped in ore concentrates, or lost when battery waste is shipped overseas because existing extraction methods are expensive, polluting, and difficult to deploy domestically.

The Solution

LiGenerate developed Solid State Reduction™, a proprietary refining platform that converts selected metal oxides and sulfides into high-purity elemental metals using a low-temperature, closed-loop process.

Using Solid State Reduction™, mining companies can strengthen domestic supply chains, and upstream recyclers can unlock the full economic value of recycled batteries.

Critical Mineral Processing

No toxic wastewater, no radioactive waste

No heavy metal contamination

No harm to local communities

Ensuring a Dometic Supply Chain

LiGenerate applies its Solid State Reduction™ process to extract >99% pure, exchange-ready elemental metals from critical metal oxides and sulfides, including tantalum, antimony, and germanium.

Enabling Localized Refining

Our highly modular LiGen Cell can be deployed directly at mining and mineral separation sites, reducing the need for costly transportation and centralized refining.
LiGen Cell requires lower CAPEX and OPEX than conventional pyro- and hydrometallurgical refining methods.
Our Solid State Reduction™ process operates as a closed-loop system that does not pollute the environment, helping streamline the regulatory approval process for new refining facilities.

A modular critical mineral refining solution, from oxides, sulfides, and recycled battery materials.

Battery Recycling

Non-Toxic, Pollution-Free

No furnaces, no solvent extraction

No harmful fumes or wastewater

True urban mining of used batteries

Battery materials remain in domestic markets

Turning Battery Recycling into a Profitable Business

LiGenerate recovers cobalt, nickel, and lithium from battery black mass, producing >99% pure elemental metals within hours for sale on global markets.

LiGen Cell works across all battery chemistries (NMC, LFP, and mixed feeds) and integrates seamlessly into existing black mass production lines without the need for centralized refineries.

LiGen Cell requires lower CAPEX and OPEX than conventional pyro- and hydrometallurgical methods and scales easily, turning battery recycling into a profitable operation.

Technology

LiGenerate’ s Solid State Reduction™ process uses reductive-agent synthesis to convert metal oxides into high-purity elemental metals.

The core conversion step takes place inside the LiGen Cell™, a modular low-temperature reactor system designed to convert selected metal compounds into elemental metals within hours.

The result: >99% pure elemental metals at recovery rates of up to 99%, ready for sale on the open market.

Operating at low temperatures, the process consumes a fraction of the energy required by pyro- and hydrometallurgical processing and uses continuously recycled, low-cost reagents to further reduce operating costs and minimize waste.

No furnaces

No solvent extraction

No multi-step purification

LiGen Cell™

The LiGen Cell™ is LiGenerate’s modular refining unit, housing the Solid State Reduction™ reactor along with pre- and post-processing components.

The system is designed for localized deployment at recycling, mining, and industrial processing sites, allowing operators to add advanced metal refining capacity close to the source of material.

LiGen Cell requires low-cost installation and operation and can scale from a single unit to thousands of TPA (tons per annum).
