Secondary lead, i.e. material produced by the recycling of lead-acid batteries has become the primary source of lead in much of the world. This has been important to the secondary lead industry as other uses have dwindled, e.g. lead based pigments, chemicals, fuel additives, solders and CRT glasses [1].Presently, battery manufacturing accounts for greater …
2.0 Lead Acid Battery (LAB) Recycling Process. The LAB recycling process starts from cutting the tops of the batteries Battery Cutting Machine (BCM). The BCM is installed in a way that parts of the battery after its top cutting get collected on an acid proof segregation area. The plastic cases, the PP separators and the plates are manually segregated here. The …
