形成闭环，帮助电池供应链参与者实现脱碳
Primobius GmbH 是西马克集团与澳大利亚公司 Neometals Ltd 成立的一家合资企业，旨在将高效、环保的报废锂离子电池 (LIB) 回收解决方案商业化。Primobius 开发的工艺能更有效地利用有限资源，并在道德合规供应和减少碳足迹的基础上创造电池/电动汽车的循环经济。
Primobius 将通过两步回收方案回收所有锂电池组份材料，以实现产品的再利用，其中包括为电池供应链生产高纯度的正极化学品。Primobius 将采用独特的可持续方法，从消耗和报废的电动汽车、固定储能设备和消费电子产品锂电池中回收有价值的锂、镍、钴化学品和其他材料，帮助实现 "闭环"。
Plant engineering for lithium-ion battery recycling
Primobius is a plant engineering company that designs, builds and commissions recycling plants for lithium-ion batteries before handing them over to the plant operator. The focus lies on creating industrial-scale solutions for recovering battery materials from production scrap and end-of-life batteries—materials that would otherwise require disposal or energy-intensive treatment routes.
The process design addresses a broad range of battery-containing material streams, including batteries from consumer electronics as well as from electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems. Recycling plants are engineered to enable the recovery of valuable materials at high quality while supporting low-emission process routes and reuse within the battery value chain.
Plant design is developed in close coordination with the operator. Capacity and throughput requirements, material characteristics, and applicable regulatory and site-specific conditions are taken into account during plant engineering.
Award winning engineering expertise
Primobius plant solutions have received multiple awards, including the German Sustainability Award 2026 and the Innovator of the Year Award 2025 of German Industry.
They recognize Primobius' sustainable, innovative approach to battery recycling and underline the strategic importance of circular technologies for Europe’s transition to sustainable electromobility and resource independence. Recycling lithium-ion batteries is a key industrial challenge of the electric vehicle era.
Multi-stage battery recycling process
Primobius recycling plants are based on a multi-stage process that begins with the safe discharging and dismantling of lithium-ion batteries. Valuable battery materials are subsequently recovered in high purity through a combination of mechanical processing followed by hydrometallurgical refining.
The shredding and beneficiation plant produces black mass and separates materials such as aluminum, plastics, and iron. The patented wet shredding process is highly efficient, intrinsically safe, and characterized by a low carbon footprint. Downstream hydrometallurgical refining enables recovery rates of more than 97% of valuable metals, exceeding EU targets for 2030. Primobius plants allow operators to produce high-value products, including battery-grade nickel and cobalt sulphate, as well as technical-grade lithium carbonate.
负责任的采购高纯度化学品
由粉碎和回收两步组成的系统有助于将分散和集中的系统部件有效地组织成一个辐辏系统。由此，Primobius 将可以产生低价值和高价值的可销售产品，并在新的场合中重新使用。
