Varmt välkomna till Digital Bergsmansafton via Teams med Mari Lundström, Professor vid Aalto Universitet i Finland och gästprofessor på KTH inom programmet WISE Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability. Vid kvällens föredrag kommer Mari att hålla ett föredrag om batterimaterial samt cirkularitet av material från förbrukade batterier. Föredraget ingår som en del av de öppna seminarier som anordnas av WISE vid KTH.
Tisdagen den 13 maj 2024 kl. 18:30-20:00
Plats: Digitalt
Språk. Föredraget kommer att hållas på engelska
Föredraget kommer att vara ett samarrangemang med den Finska Bergsmannaföreningen VMY.
At today’s digital seminar, Professor Mari Lundström at Aalto University - and visiting professor of the WISE Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability at KTH - will have a speech with the title “Battery materials and circularity – where are we now?”. The seminar is included in the open seminars of the WISE program at KTH (Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability).
Professor Mari Lundström is one of Europe´s leading researchers on hydrometallurgical recycling of batteries. She was awarded Alfred Kordelin Prize for the exceptional research efforts advancing green transition year 2024, and was one of the key figures building the building the first European Battery raw material and recycling roadmap under the Batteries Europe. Her research group focus on highly topical areas related to metal intensive green transition; hydrometallurgical base- and precious metals refining and recycling, electrified metallurgical processes, as well as process modelling and life cycle assessment of emerging primary and recycling processes. Mari Lundström believes that there is a lot of potential for technological improvements and totally new innovative processing methods and routes, via close collaboration between metallurgical industry and academic researchers. Her research is motivated by the aspiration to achieve sustainable development via realistic innovations. For example, while the demand of battery metals is increasing substantially, there are still several battery materials that are not currently recycled. Mari strongly believes that true circular economy demands less metals being lost in waste and side flows, while several of our technology metals and materials are becoming increasingly critical, and valuable. Here, research and development are necessary to improve not only circularity and sustainability but also independency on the raw materials supply.
At today’s digital seminar Professor Mari Lundström will have a speech about the state-of-the-art technologies in battery materials and their recycling. Further, she will elaborate the research needs as well as industrial value chain. Also, she will talk about the latest research work to increase the level of circularity for battery materials, a topic of major importance in a world becoming more electrified.
BIO: Mari Lundström is Associate Professor at the department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering and a Vice Dean at School of Chemical Engineering at the Aalto University. Professor Mari Lundström's field of research is hydrometallurgy and corrosion. Mari became professor in February 2015. Before that, she worked for several years in Outotec. She earned her academic doctorate in 2009. Mari is presently acting part time as a guest professor at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (KTH) financed by the WISE program.
