Description

This publication presents a novel tube transducer for power ultrasound applications and evaluates its performance in the delamination of graphite coatings from lithium-ion battery anodes. The study compares the technology with a conventional sonotrode and highlights its potential for more efficient, high-throughput, flow-based material recovery processes. This research was supported by the EU-funded APOLLO project and aligns with its mission of advancing circular technologies and innovative material recovery.
