Title: Selective Recovery of Critical Metals from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Deep Eutectic Solvent
Parisa Biniaza is a PhD student at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Monash University, Australia, dedicated to developing sustainable and efficient recycling methods for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Her research focuses on innovative, low-impact approaches to maximise the recovery of critical metals while minimising environmental harm. She specialises in using green solvents that operate at low temperatures to enable the selective recovery of valuable metals from spent LIBs. This process transforms end-of-life batteries into valuable resources, supporting the shift towards a circular economy. In this model, spent LIBs are viewed not as waste but as a source of wealth, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
