Nickel Refining
For producing the battery precursor material, a separation process starts with the wet intermediate from stainless steel production, and then goes into further purification and refining to obtain nickel salt or pure nickel. The refined nickel then is sent to Qingmei Energy Materials, a joint venture of Tsingshan and GEM, to develop high-quality precursor for lithium-ion-battery-cells utilizing some of the world’s most advanced production lines.
