RECYCLICO BATTERY MATERIALS WELCOMES MARYAM RASOULI, PH.D. AS PRINCIPAL ENGINEER

Recyclico Battery Materials Inc. has hired Dr. Maryam Rasouli as principal engineer, specializing in hydrometallurgy. Dr. Rasouli brings to the company a wealth of expertise in chemical and materials engineering, particularly in aqueous chemistry, lithium-ion battery cathode active material precursor (pCAM) synthesis and net-zero and circular economy solutions, all of which will contribute to realizing Recyclico's vision of a sustainable future for off-spec scrap and end-of-life battery materials.

Dr. Rasouli's extensive experience as a materials engineer and chemist includes work with advanced recycling technologies for lithium and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) from end-of-life batteries, the efficient extraction of zinc, cadmium, nickel and cobalt from secondary waste solids and metal extraction techniques focusing on precious metal recovery solvent extraction processes and synthetic chemistry, including the synthesis of layered double hydroxides (LDH), materials similar to pCAM and metalloenzymes.

"We are excited to welcome Dr. Rasouli to our team," said Richard Sadowsky, RecycLiCo's interim chief executive officer. "Her background, skill set and passion for developing innovative chemical engineering solutions will be instrumental to the commercial implementation of our battery recycling and upcycling processes."

Dr. Rasouli holds a PhD in materials engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a master's degree in inorganic chemistry from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS), Zanjan, Iran.

Prior to joining Recyclico, Dr. Rasouli worked as a process engineer at Hatch, where she designed hydrometallurgical processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries. She has also worked as a consulting chemist, designing amino-oxo-chelating reagents specifically for the recovery of metals from mining wastes.

About Recyclico Battery Materials Inc.

Recyclico Battery Materials is a battery materials company specializing in sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling and materials production. Recyclico has developed advanced technologies that efficiently recover battery-grade materials from lithium-ion batteries, addressing the global demand for environmentally friendly solutions in energy storage. With minimal processing steps and up to 99-per-cent extraction of lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese, the patented, closed-loop hydrometallurgical process turns lithium-ion battery waste into battery-grade cathode precursor, lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate for direct integration into the remanufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries.
