DUST CONTROL SOLUTIONS FOR BATTERY MATERIAL HANDLING AND PROCESSING

The battery manufacturing supply chain needs effective solutions for the control of dust created in mineral extraction, refining, purification and processing. RoboVent Senturion is a powerful and versatile industrial dust collector that is up for the challenge. RoboVent is working with processors and manufacturers at all stages of the battery supply chain to design, install and maintain safe and effective dust control solutions. We can help you with: 

  • OSHA and NFPA regulatory requirements and safety guidelines for management of combustible dusts, including the dust hazard analysis (DHA) process and NFPA-compliant system design
  • Dust collection and air filtration system design for material refining and processing, including dust collector selection, ductwork, filter selection and regulatory compliance. 
  • Operation and maintenance of your dust collection system. 
  • Indoor air quality and exposure testing

Our experienced air quality engineers offer comprehensive dust collection system design services, including needs analysis, system design and engineering, collector and ductwork installation, filter selection, HVAC system integration, startup and commissioning, and aftercare and service.

Battery Raw Material Processing and Handling

Batteries contain a complex mix of substances, including cathode and anode materials, separators, electrolytes and housing materials. Preparation and handling of raw materials used for the electrodes—such as lithium, cobalt and graphite—can involve large quantities of dust, which may be both hazardous and combustible. These materials must be refined, powdered and processed before they are used for electrode production. All of these processes have the potential to create large volumes of hazardous dust that must be controlled.

Health and Safety Risks for Battery Raw Materials

The raw materials used in battery production can have significant hazards for workers if they are inhaled or handled improperly. Appropriate precautions, including dust collection, are essential to protect workers from exposure hazards to raw materials used in battery manufacturing. These specific health risks will depend on the type of material being processed; read more about the specific health concerns in Lithium-Ion, Lead-Acid, Alkaline, and Nickel-Cadmium battery production.

Regulations for the Battery Industry

Producers and material handlers in the battery manufacturing supply chain must comply with all environmental, worker health and safety regulations set by national, state and local regulatory agencies. Meeting regulatory standards related to worker exposure, combustible dust safety, and environmental protection will almost always involve a dust and emissions control strategy. These regulations include:

Dust Control Challenges for Battery Material Handling and Processing

Designing an effective dust control solution for material extraction, processing, refining, and handling of materials used in battery production requires careful consideration of several factors. There is no “one size fits all solution”; dust control will depend on the type and volume of dust produced, constraints of the facility or environment, and exposure risks for human workers. Some of the primary challenges include:
