About Aqua Metals Aqua Metals, Inc.
(NASDAQ:AQMS) is reinventing lead recycling with its patented
AquaRefining™ technology. Unlike smelting, AquaRefining is a
room temperature, water-based process that emits less pollution.
The modular systems are intended to allow the Company to vastly
reduce environmental impact and scale lead acid recycling
production capacity by licensing the AquaRefining technology to
partners. This would meet growing demand for lead to power new
applications including stop/start automobile batteries which
complement the vehicle’s main battery, Internet data centers,
alternative energy applications including solar, wind, and grid
scale storage. Aqua Metals is based in McCarran, NV,
and has built its first recycling facility in
Nevada’s Tahoe-Reno Industrial Complex. To learn more, please
