Lithium Universe Ltd

Lithium Universe (ASX: LU7) and Macquarie University have applied for funding under Australia’s Economic Accelerator (AEA) Ignite program to support the development of an integrated recycling prototype for end-of-life solar panels. The grant will help advance a revolutionary method of solar panel recycling that integrates Macquarie’s microwave joule heating technology (MJHT) with jet electrochemical silver […]

Lithium Universe (ASX: LU7) has reported the achievement of 95% silver recovery from technical validation trials on the jet electrochemical silver extraction (JESE) technology it has developed in partnership with Macquarie University. The partners put the breakthrough process through rigorous laboratory testing to assess its ability to selectively and efficiently recover silver from end-of-life silicon […]

Lithium Universe (ASX: LU7) has acquired the global rights to Macquarie University’s jet electrochemical silver extraction (JESE) technology to assist in the extraction of silver from used photovoltaic (PV) cells. The innovative process utilises a low-voltage electrochemical jet of dilute nitric acid to selectively dissolve silver from solar cells, leaving behind aluminium and other impurities. […]

The June quarter saw Lithium Universe (ASX: LU7) redirect its energy to solar panel recycling, specifically the acquisition of cutting-edge technology which capitalises on critical metals content of photovoltaic (PV) cells. Lithium Universe acquired the global rights to microwave joule heating technology developed by Macquarie University, which aims for higher recoveries of critical minerals by […]
