What to do with the battery industry’s sodium sulfate waste? The by-product is raising environmental concerns as companies race to build new plants: cen.acs.org/energy/battery… .

Companies are racing to build mines, battery material plants, and recycling facilities, but many of these projects produce sulfate waste. I wrote about some of the options for managing this waste in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) cen.acs.org/energy/battery…

Nothing too surprising here from Europe’s domestic battery champion, slower growth and consolidation of assets and investments… Net result is an increase in Chinese market share…

Another try in Bolivia. To see whether it survives the next election…. Now, Russia’s Rosatom should have high technical know. It claims to have been the initial DLE developer in China who then copied their technology. Maybe.

Similar results for LGES, Panasonic, and others. Literally billions in credits.

From PhD to CEO - our new episode of C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) Uncovered explores the stories of scientists who made the leap from the classroom to the boardroom. Matt Blois and Craig Bettenhausen take us inside the transition from academia to the C-suite. Listen now: cen.acs.org/business/start… .
