معرفی
Mari Lundström is a Professor at Aalto University's School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, specializing in hydrometallurgy and corrosion. She serves as Vice Dean and leads multiple strategic projects focused on battery metal recycling and sustainable metallurgical processes.
- Key Affiliations: School of Chemical Engineering, Aalto University
- Leadership Roles: Vice Dean, Principal Investigator for BATCircle3, RESPECT, and TOCANEM2 projects
Her research centers on lithium-ion battery recycling, electrochemical recovery of critical metals (cobalt, nickel, gold), and sustainable metallurgical processes. She has pioneered methods for converting battery waste into functional materials like graphite/rGO composites for zinc-air batteries and developed electrochemical approaches for resource recovery.
Recent publications highlight her work on arsine gas analysis for electrometallurgical safety, electrorefining additives to improve copper cathode quality, and catalytic extraction from battery scrap. She balances applied research with media engagement, advocating for green transitions and addressing critical metal scarcity.
Scientific Recognition:
- Kordelin Foundation Prize (2024) for advancing sustainable metallurgy
