Xylogic turns waste biomass into green mineral reagents
An Adelaide University spin-out converts forestry and agricultural waste into biodegradable reagents for mineral recovery, battery recycling, water treatment and fertiliser.
Field notes
Xylogic describes controlled pyrolysis of forestry and agricultural residue as the feedstock step, followed by tuning into XyloLix for metal recovery or XyloPhos for controlled-release fertiliser. Its reported cathode-material test used 30 minutes at 70°C and recovered all measured lithium and manganese, plus at least 85% of cobalt. The homepage says pilot validation with industrial partners is underway, while the visible evidence is otherwise laboratory-stage.
