The average concentration of lead in wastewater is about 3–15 mg/L and the pH of wastewater falls in the range of 1.6-2.9 [ 9 ]. If the battery wastewater is not treated well before discharge to environment, lead can contaminate food and water, and be present in nature.
The raw lead–acid battery wastewater sample was generated from a lead–acid battery company and kept in plastic bottles. The battery company had no recycling system; therefore, the sulfuric acid from the used lead–acid battery was directly poured into a storage tank.
The removal efficiency of lead was increased after using a carbonation step with 68% for quicklime and 69% for slaked lime. The carbonation process not only enhanced the lead removal efficiency in the battery wastewater but also reduced pH to meet requirements of environmental regulations.
Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. In this study, we present a low-cost and simple method to treat spent lead–acid battery wastewater using quicklime and slaked lime. The sulfate and lead were successfully removed using the precipitation method.
Lead in wastewater can be treated to lessen its release into the environment, reducing its negative effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Compliance with regulations: There are laws in many nations that restrict how much Pb can be released into the environment.
Overall, it has been shown that bioremediation is a successful method for removing lead from wastewater. However, several variables, like the type of microorganisms or plants utilized, the environmental circumstances, and the level of Pb in the wastewater can affect the process.
