Knauf becomes founding member of Institute for Technologies and Economics of Lithium

Germany: Knauf Gips has partnered with Canada-based lithium hydroxide producer Rock Tech Lithium and waste management company Papenburg Entsorgung Ost to found the Institute for Technologies and Economics of Lithium (ITEL) at Halle (Saale) in Saxony-Anhalt. The institute aims to develop an inter-sector, CO2-neutral recycling economy for lithium in Germany. This will include the use of gypsum from lithium hydroxide production in gypsum wallboard production. ITEL has appointed Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg academics Ulrich Blum and Ralf Wehrspohn as its managing directors.

ITEL said “The switch to electromobility will make Germany the central location for battery production in Europe and thus also for the production of the crucial precursor lithium hydroxide. The reduction and reuse of the by-products generated during the refinement of lithium is the focus of the institute's work. Another focus is research into new production steps to optimise by-product value creation.”
