Air Classification Technology
Volt Carbon's proprietary air classification process has achieved graphite purity levels of
Operational Benefits and Key Environmental Findings from the Study:
99% Reduction in GHG Emissions: Emissions are reduced to as low as 0.123-0.15 kg CO₂e per kilogram of graphite when powered by renewable energy, compared to 9.5-13.7 kg CO₂e per kilogram using traditional methods.
- Negligible Water Use: The process virtually eliminates up to 75 litres of water required per kilogram of graphite in traditional flotation.
- Reduced Land and Chemical Impact: Air classification minimizes land disturbance, acidification potential, and chemical waste, aligning with Volt Carbon's sustainability goals.
- Land Use Transformation: The dry air classification process has a lower environmental impact on land use compared to traditional methods, which can lead to erosion and groundwater depletion. This reduced land disturbance aligns with Volt Carbon's commitment to environmentally responsible operations.
- Reduced Acidification Potential: The air classification process minimizes chemical waste production, reducing the environmental risks associated with soil and water contamination from chemical reagents. Traditional flotation methods contribute significantly to acidification, whereas air classification virtually eliminates this risk.
Carbon Credit Revenue Opportunities
As Volt Carbon aims to scale up to produce 10,000 tons of graphite annually, the study indicates it could offset
"The preliminary feasibility results from EmitIQ have exceeded our expectations, particularly in terms of water savings and emissions reductions, which appear to be industry leading. EmitIQ's high-fidelity validation highlights the immense potential of our technology. Our next step is to construct a demonstrator unit to support a full feasibility assessment and advance commercialization for graphite applications," said V-Bond Lee, CEO of Volt Carbon Technologies.
