About
I am a PhD fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering, NTNU. The PhD is part of the Sustainable Materials for the Battery Value Chain (SUMBAT) Project. My research work is focused on the recycling + regeneration of graphite from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and production scrap. I completed my M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the Department of Chemical Engineering at NTNU, with specialization in Heterogeneous Catalysis. I employ various characterization techniques, that I started learning from my M.Sc., to investigate the material properties of graphite and battery black mass. For separation of graphite from black mass samples, I am making use of froth flotation whereby graphite is separated as froth due to its hydrophobic nature.
