Heyl Patterson’s rotary calciners provide efficient processing of minerals used to manufacture lithium-ion batteries. From minerals used in anodes such as metallic-lithium, natural and artificial graphite, activated carbon, carbon black, lithium titanate, tin-based alloys, and silicon-based materials, to materials used in cathodes such as oxides of lithium manganese, lithium cobalt, and nickel cobalt, lithium-ion phosphate, and electronic conducting polymers, Heyl Patterson’s rotary calciners provide high-temperature processing in a controlled environment.
