Whether drying, cooling, or calcining material, the design of a thermal processing system gives rise to many questions. With over 75 years of experience in helping our customers design and maintain custom equipment and production lines, weโre covering some of the most frequently asked questions …
Metal recovery from spent batteries and other electronic wastes looks to be the next frontier in mining, as the world continues its search for a sustainable management solution for this rapidly growing category of waste. From old cellphones, to TVโs, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and …
As demand for lithium continues to surge, the rising use of novel lithium sources, paired with the growing need to maximize process efficiency and the push for a circular economy, are all driving research and development work around extracting and recovering lithium. Findings from Grand …
An industrial byproduct from the lithium battery industry is putting increasing pressure on producers to find an economic and sustainable outlet for mounting quantities of waste; as the battery industry continues to grow, along with it grows the production of sodium sulfate. With research underway, …
The growing need for a secure domestic supply chain of rare earth elements (REEs) has the U.S. exploring non-traditional sources of the material. With aggressive funding and incentives in place, the nationโs demand for rare earths could soon be satiated, at least in part, by …
Obtaining lithium for use in advanced batteries has never been more critical. As resource scarcity, mineral distribution, and growing geopolitical tensions are putting increasing pressure on nations to build a secure, reliable supply chain of critical minerals to meet rising demand, the United States government …
Pugmill mixers are widely used in the sulfuric acid (sulfation) process that extracts lithium from spodumene ore. As demand for lithium continues to mount, pugmill mixers are a pivotal tool in bringing lithium from spodumene sources to market, making a measurable difference in consistency, safety, …
Graphite has rapidly emerged as one of the most essential materials in modern industry, largely due to its role in lithium-ion batteries, advanced materials, and high-performance industrial applications. However, producing graphite products that meet increasingly stringent specifications, whether for purity, particle size, or morphology, requires …
Rotary drum alignment is a critical factor in maintaining the long-term performance and reliability of industrial rotary equipmentโwhether it’s a dryer, kiln, cooler, or agglomerator. Misalignment is one of the most common and potentially damaging issues encountered in drum operation. And while it may begin …
When it comes to industrial drying, few systems offer the versatility and scalability of the rotary dryer. But the performance of a rotary dryer is only as reliable as the engineering, design, and construction behind itโmaking the choice of rotary dryer manufacturer a critical decision …
