Analyze incoming battery waste to identify composition (e.g., lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, etc.).
Test purity of recovered materials and ensure they meet industry specifications.
Use ICP-OES/MS, XRF, titration, and chromatography for analysis of metals and electrolytes.
Identify and quantify hazardous by-products or residues in recycled materials.
Improve hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, or electrochemical methods used in recycling.
Collaborate with engineers to transition lab-scale processes to pilot or industrial scale.
Choose appropriate solvents, acids, or bases for leaching and separation.
Diagnose inefficiencies, contamination, or yield problems in recycling lines.
Explore alternative recycling techniques (e.g., direct recycling, solvent-based methods).
Investigate ways to maximize recovery of high-value metals.
Adapt processes for new battery chemistries (e.g., LiFePO4, NMC, LFP, solid-state).




Study environmental impacts and find greener chemical alternatives.
Ensure proper handling and storage of toxic or flammable substances.
Adhere to EPA, OSHA, REACH, or local environmental and safety standards.
Evaluate chemical hazards and implement safety protocols for lab and plant operations.
Support in emergency responses involving chemical spills or exposure.
Work with engineers and plant operators to align chemical processes with mechanical and thermal operations.
Maintain detailed lab notebooks, process documentation, and safety records.
Generate technical reports and present findings to management or R&D; teams.
Educate staff on chemical safety, process updates, or current analytical methods.
