Lithium extraction from geothermal waters

A membrane process developed by KIT extracts lithium from geothermal waters. The two-stage process uses nanofiltration and concentration without affecting energy production in the geothermal power plant.

Physically recycling rare earths and other raw materials

Innovative KIT process uses magnetic field-controlled chromatography to separate valuable nano- and microparticles from waste mixtures.

Exoskeleton for more mobility in everyday life

Mobile exoskeleton on the ankle provides greater freedom of movement and makes everyday life easier for people with disabilities.

Sensor-based sorting without compressed air

With a new optical sorter based on an area-scan camera and an array of mechanical actuators, bulk material can be separated without compressed air with high throughput and precision.

Mechanochemically induced recycling of lithium-ion batteries

With a new recycling process developed by KIT, lithium can be efficiently reclaimed from the cathode material of old batteries without irreversible contamination and environmental damage.

Intermetals as a catalytically active layer

Intermetallic sputtering targets from KIT improve the reproducible coating of microstructured surfaces using DC magnetron sputtering. The thin catalytic layers make the hydrogenation of acetylene, for example, even more efficient.

High-pressure saturator for process engineering

A new reactor design of KIT enables the saturation of gases under very high pressure with the vapor of corrosive and high-purity liquids.

Ethylene-free synthesis of polyethylene

New synthesis route for the production of functionalized polyethylene facilitates product development in polymer chemistry. Without the use of ethylene gas, easy feasibility in the laboratory is given.

Circular economy for concrete

Combined KIT processes enable complete recycling of used concrete from concrete grain fractions. Zero emissions are achieved by carbon sequestration in the process through mineralization in mills and autoclaves.

Seamless micro embossing of material webs

Roll-to-roll process enables precise and continuous microstructuring of polymers.

Printing flexible electronics

Highly conductive ink with reduced metallic particle content enables the additive production of highly stretchable electronics for soft electronic applications.
