Abstract Title: Sequential Extraction of Critical Metals from Processed Spent Lithium Ion Batteries Using Solvent Membrane

Biography:

Dr. Ayorinde Emmanuel Ajiboye is an extractive metallurgist. Over the years, his research has covered leaching of metals from primary and secondary materials, separation and purification of mixed metals leached liquors via solvent extraction, ion exchange, advance membrane, and electrometallurgy.

His main focus as a researcher is to develop cost effective and environmental conscious methods for the recovery of critical and rare earth elements needed for the global transition clean energy.

Dr. Ayorinde obtained bachelor and master of technology in Industrial Chemistry from Federal university of Technology Minna and Akure respectively. After his master degree, he was awarded prestigious TWAS-CSIR  fellowship for his PhD program at CSIR-Institute of  Minerals and materials Technology Bhubaneswar, India. The PhD degree was awarded by the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. He worked as Postdoctoral research fellow in the hydrometallurgy unit, Chemical Engineering Department at University of Cape Town South Africa before joined Argonne National Laboratory as Postdoctoral Appointee in January, 2023. He has been working on hydro-metallurgical method for the recovery of critical metals from processed spent lithium-ion battery.
