125th anniversary of the IME - congratulations from cylib ♻️ The IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling - Institute and Chair of RWTH Aachen University (short form: IME) is a teaching and research institute in the field of metallurgical extraction, recycling, refining, and synthesis of non-ferrous metals and alloys. About 10 years ago, the future founding team of cylib began their battery recycling journey at the IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling. Noticing a gap in battery recycling research, our CEO, Lilian Schwich, established the first battery recycling research group at IME and RWTH Aachen University. With our CTO, Paul Sabarny, as one of the first hires, the team rapidly expanded. In the context of her dissertation, Lilian Schwich developed what became the cylib process today: a sustainable and efficient end-to-end battery recycling process that recovers lithium- and graphite using a water-based technology. Honoring the IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling’s 125th anniversary and cylib’s history, our CEO, Lilian Schwich was invited to give a speech about her time from research to industry. Building on Lilian's and Paul's research foundation, the company continues to embrace its research DNA by employing several brilliant former IME-members, including Maurice Buschmann, Hannah Schnitzeler, Georg Bräuer, Miray Sezer, Ioannis Panagiotidis, Kirill Saushkin, and Qiaoyan Pan. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Friedrich, Director of the IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling, for the opportunity to reflect on the great research days at IME and honoring cylib’s history. It was a pleasure to reconnect with the metallurgy industry and celebrate the IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling together. #cylib #IME #RWTH #Aachen #Anniversary #Metallury #Sustainability #BatteryRecycling #Battery #Recycling #BatteryCircleAachen #BatteryHills52068
