Recycling them is not easy &#8211; the toxic elements (cobalt, nickel and magnanium) are difficult to separate and manage, and the amount of energy required to process used batteries and accumulators is considerable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her design, the winner proposes to use reverse electrodialysis equipped with an ultra-selective membrane dedicated to transporting only one selected cation (cobalt), while recovering energy. Such a solution reduces energy consumption, as well as providing it, while separating cobalt salts from nickel, manganese and lithium salts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/dr-anna-siekierka-najlepsza-w-falling-walls-lab-wroclaw-2023-13040.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/pwr.edu.pl\/uczelnia\/aktualnosci\/dr-anna-siekierka-najlepsza-w-falling-walls-lab-wroclaw-2023-13040.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Anna Siekierka from Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology has won the Wroc\u0142aw final of the international Falling Walls Lab competition.
