Abstract
With the global transition towards electrification, the demand for battery metals sulfates is growing rapidly. One of the processing routes - metal dissolution, involving the dissolution of metals or alloys and producing battery-grade metal sulfates, is strategic solution to help meet this increasing demand. The metal dissolution process provides a pathway for producers to swiftly enter the battery market and it is a proven and viable means for the production of sulfate.
