Event Overview:

The demand for cleaner and safer energy solutions for transportation in North America has significantly increased, creating major opportunities and challenges for the industry, researchers, and a blooming supply chain. In this global competitive market, driven by quality, safety and cost of manufacturing, every stakeholder within the industry is focusing on improving production yield by reducing failure rate and scrap level through tighter control on their processes and material quality.

Any company that invests in tight quality control processes quickens return on investment, increases yield, attracts strategic partnerships and routinely supplies safe, reliable end products. Process control starts with raw materials and confidence in the supply chain.

Agilent is a great partner for your success in providing not only analytical instrumentation but a team of experts to help implement installation, method development and asset management.


Key Learning Objectives:

Battery engineers, analytical chemists and material scientists who attend this educational event will learn:

• Industry expert’s perspectives on the battery value chain, specifically around battery material integrity
• Agilent solutions for battery value chain
• Analytical techniques for purity, impurity and material degradation testing with focus on atomic and molecular spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Who Should Attend:

Quality assurance/quality control analytical chemists, process engineers and battery material procurement specialist who focus on battery material supply chain. The learning will include de-risking ideas starting with purity and impurity testing to material degradation studies.

Panel Overview:

Join our panel discussion to hear industry perspective on evolving battery initiatives. These experts will provide insights into the manufacturing, raw material refining and importance of analytical testing for successful, high yield final products. A few experts will discuss the reimaging of their core business to help meet the local demands of green energy initiatives.

• University of Michigan Battery Lab: Dr. Less will discuss the opportunities for scale-up and testing at the UM Battery Lab, to include materials, devices, and in-line metrology.
• Veolia: Andrew, while specifically referring to Veolia's HPD group, will focus on process design and equipment supply for integrated flowsheets that incorporate evaporation and crystallization technology. This applies to many flowsheets that produce materials used in the manufacture of batteries. A few examples include upgrading low grade lithium carbonates to battery grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide monohydrate, production of battery lithium hydroxide monohydrate from PLS solutions, and production of nickel/cobalt/manganese sulfate salts from battery recycle.
• Aquatech: Paulo will describe the role of Aquatech in the battery space including the impact of climate tech business on growth. He will include the importance of elemental analysis and product characterization to classify the composition of the final product and the efficiency of production washout. This discussion will also illustrate the need for fast analytical turn around in complicated matrices with high total dissolved solids. Lastly, highlighting the need to expediate troubleshooting of instrument/methods to increase turnaround and decrease downtime.
