Our Solutions for a Green and a Connected Europe
Solution - 1 : Solutions to boost battery performance and battery life
- IONEL™ LF-101
- IONEL™ is a patented high purity Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide "LiFSI".
Can be applied for Lithium-ion batteries. Applicable for electric vehicles and also stationary energy storage.

Solution - 2 : Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emission in the Process Industry
- Wastewater Treatment Catalyst
- Some wastewaters contain poisonous or highly concentrated substances and they are difficult to handle with conventional treatment methods.
Catalytic wet air oxidation technology (CWAO) can decompose these substances into inert gases and simple molecules; Deodorization and decolorization are also possible.
CWAO can be operated without auxiliary fuel by reusing the energy from the oxidation reaction, and thus can replace the conventional wastewater incineration method, resulting in less CO2 emission. - Hydrocarbon Oxidation Catalyst
- This catalyst oxidizes Hydrocarbons (and other Volatile Organic Compounds) in emission gases from various industrial processes.
The energy generated from this reaction can be reused in this process, thus auxiliary fuel is not necessary; Carbon Footprint can be reduced due to less CO2 emission compared to conventional combustion method.
> Air Quality Index Improvement
- Nitrogen Oxide Removal Catalyst
- This catalyst is effective for the reduction of NOx which is one of the important factors of Air Quality Index.
Using ammonia as a reducing agent, converts NOx contained in emission gas into harmless nitrogen.
Our catalyst is widely used in various combustion systems such as boilers, power stations and heating furnaces.
Major features are high performance, low SO2 oxidation rate and high durability for dust.
