Madame, your $12,000 batteries are infected, and so is other parts of your expensive car.
What could go right?
I've been wondering why this approach hadn't been done yet already, as it seemed the most logical. I wonder about the residence time in the process (might need some really big tanks) and there's nothing about that in the article when it comes to estimating processing capacity. One also wonders about the amount of electrical energy to convert ionic soups back into metals, but with nukes to provide that it could turn lithium into the portable energy storage element so many hope for it. Having cobalt in a soup-loop also beats having African children gathering rocks for a living.
