Volt Carbon Receives Third U.S. Patent Allowance For Its Graphite Dry Separation Technology

By

-- Volt Carbon Technologies (VCT.V) on Tuesday said it received a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. Patent Application No. 18/823845.

This is the third patent allowance arising from the company's original filing. Volt said it continues to establish a defensible foundation for its dry graphite separation platform as it advances toward commercial deployment.

"Volt Carbon's dry separation process preserves the crystalline structure of graphite at the source," the company said. "This is a critical distinction, as conventional wet processing can damage the crystalline structure, lowering yield and increasing downstream processing requirements."

The company said by maintaining crystallinity, its process enables "more efficient" conversion into battery materials, expandable graphite, and graphene, while supporting reduced processing intensity and environmental impact. The water free and chemical free nature of the process also reduces material handling and processing time within the facility, supporting improved throughput, and operational efficiency, it added.

The patent is expected to issue following completion of customary administrative procedures and payment of final fees.

Shares of the company were last seen up $0.005 to $0.03 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
