Aqua Metals Inc

NASDAQ:AQMS

Aqua Metals, Inc. engages in the production of recycled lead through a novel, proprietary and patent-pending process, called AquaRefining. The company is headquartered in Sparks, Nevada and currently employs 23 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2015-07-31. The firm's offerings include equipment supply, services and licensing of the AquaRefining technology to recyclers across the globe. The firm's AquaRefining is a room temperature, water-based process, which delivers raw materials back into the manufacturing supply chain while reducing emissions and toxic byproducts. AquaRefining process has two key elements. The first is its use of a non-toxic solvent, which dissolves lead compounds. The second is an electro-chemical process and Aqualyzer, which converts the dissolved lead compounds into purity lead through a continuous process that is suitable for use in lead-acid battery (LAB) production. The AquaRefining process begins with the processing of crushed used batteries either in the form of paste for LAB or, in the future, black mass for lithium-ion batteries (LIB).
