Disclosed are solutions for mitigating loss of black mass in the form of fine powder produced from breaking lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during conveyance from one point in a process (e.g., the battery breaker) to a subsequent point in the process (e.g., a separator system) by means of a conveyance such as, for example, a conveyor belt system. Implementations of such a mitigation system, broadly referred to herein as a “hooded collector,” may comprise several different components including a hood-structure that fully encompasses the conveyance, a brush structure for disengaging the fine powder from the surface of the conveyance, a collector element for collecting some or all of the fine powder that might otherwise be lost, a negative-pressure airflow and filter for preventing loss at loss-possible openings, and/or a variety of other components.
