Momentum Technologies has achieved a significant milestone in advanced battery recycling, demonstrating commercial-scale production of high-purity battery materials within one year of commissioning its Carrollton, Texas demonstration facility.
The company said that this achievement marks a critical transition from pilot-scale validation to full commercial readiness, underscoring the scalability and industrial viability of its proprietary Membrane Solvent Extraction (MSX) technology.
Using MSX technology, Momentum has consistently recovered high-purity nickel, cobalt and lithium from end-of-life batteries. Yields exceed 90%, with product purity over 99%, meeting stringent battery-grade specifications. Independent validation confirms the quality of these materials, including nickel sulfate.
“This facility was designed to validate our process at scale, and today’s results confirm its success,” said Mahesh Konduru, CEO of Momentum. “This achievement demonstrates that our technology is commercially viable and ready for widespread deployment. We’ve proven that a domestic, circular supply chain for critical minerals is more than possible, it’s operational and scalable for industrial applications.”
The scale-up has enabled Momentum to refine its MSX battery recycling technology further, incorporating enhanced process controls, reagent recovery, and modular design – all of which are being integrated into its upcoming Ohio facility.
“This milestone represents the successful completion of our scale-up trajectory,” said Preston Bryant and Robert Miles, co-founders of Momentum. “We’ve systematically proven our MSX technology at each stage from pilot to demonstration scale, confirming that we can consistently deliver commercial-quality materials from end-of-life batteries.”
Momentum’s battery recycling success at Carrollton now serves as the blueprint for its commercial expansion.
