When a used lead acid battery is collected and sent back to some authorized recycling plant or facility then the lead and plastic are recovered and reused to make a new battery . Recycling of batteries leads to reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfills.
The electrolyte from used lead acid batteries which usually contains high concentration of dissolved lead is sometimes drained out into soil and water bodied which further contaminates soil and water. Lead can enter the in the food chain by lead contaminated soil, water and air.
The recycling process of lead acid battery is directly linked with environmental pollution. The common environmental routes of lead exposure are dust and dirt, air, water and food. The main route of lead exposure during the recycling process of lead acid battery occurs via emission of lead into the environment.
There are various technologies by which we recover lead from the lead acid batteries these schemes are hydrometallurgy and pyro-metallurgy. All waste disposals and their cost should be done in such a way so that Environment is not harmed. The waste management cost can be reduced changing the design of products. 1.1.
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.
According to the 2015 report on lead-acid battery by Chinese Association of Battery Industry (Zhao and Cao, 2015-11-24), disposal of lead-containing acid increases significantly by year in the past 12 years and it only starts to decrease from recently (Fig. 1 b). Lead is of highly toxic, poisoning almost every organ through blood.
Fundamentals of the Recycling of Lead Acid Batteries
Returning used lead batteries to the recycling loop has a long tradition. Thanks to the compactness of a battery, its high lead proportion (>95%) and relatively high metal prices, it has been worth while for consumers to return their own or collected car batteries to the scrap trade or secondary smelters. The return rate of
