Indonesia is one of the largest recycler of Lead Acid Battery (LAB) in Asia suffering for lead contamination which is classified as one of the top poisonous heavy metal pollutant. The corresponding Issues have already caused significant public concern.
The method has been successfully used in industry production. Recycling lead from waste lead-acid batteries has substantial significance in environmental protection and economic growth. Bearing the merits of easy operation and large capacity, pyrometallurgy methods are mostly used for the regeneration of waste lead-acid battery (LABs).
This research takes a specific product, i.e. lead-acid battery, to analyze the supply-consumption sustainability (SCS) of lead in the life cycle of the product. The mass flow of lead in the life cycle of lead-acid battery is shown in Fig. 9.
Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector. Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained ahead of its peers because of its cheap cost as compared to the expensive cost of Lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries.
To a broader level, the entire life cycle of lead-acid battery needs to be considered that are raw materials production, lead-acid battery design, production and consumption, end-of-life process including collection of spent LABs and recycling or reuse of lead for lead acid battery (Fig. 9) (Sun et al., 2017).
30% of primary lead production may be cut by improving the management efficiency. Lead is classified to be one of the top heavy metal pollutants in China. The corresponding environmental issues especially during the management of spent lead-acid battery have already caused significant public awareness and concern.
