Battery Recycling Services
Significance Of Lead-Acid Batter Recycling; Lead-acid batteries are the environmental success story of our time. More than 98 percent of all battery lead is recycled. Compared to 55% of aluminum, 45% of newspapers, 26% of glass bottles and 26% of tires, lead-acid batteries top the list of the most highly recycled consumer product.
The lead-acid battery gains its environmental edge...
The lead-acid battery gains its environmental edge from its closed-loop life cycle. The typical new lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic. When a spent battery is collected, it is sent to a permitted recycler where, under strict environmental regulations, the lead and plastic are reclaimed and sent to a new battery manufacturer. The recycling cycle goes on indefinitely. That means the lead and plastic in the lead-acid battery in your car, truck, boat or motorcycle have been – and will continue to be — recycled many, many times. This makes lead-acid battery disposal extremely successful from both environmental and cost perspectives. Lead-acid batteries are essentially 100% recyclable. During the recycling process, a battery is separated into three distinct components. The lead is smelted and refined to be used in new batteries. The plastic case is recovered and its material cleaned, and molded into new battery cases. The used acid is even recycled for reuse. The Lead Acid Battery Recycling involves in the collection of the spent batteries from various sources, which are transported to the Recycling facility through a certified logistics system. This transportation is essential to avoid the contamination of the environment by the spent batteries and their constituents. The transported Batteries are processed in the Recycling Facility for the Production of Lead Ingots, the raw material for the production of new batteries and the cycle progress repeatedly.
Lead Acid Batteries
The storage battery or secondary battery is such battery where electrical energy can be stored as chemical energy and this chemical energy is then converted to electrical energy as when required. The conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy by applying external electrical source is known as charging of battery, whereas conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy for supplying the external load is known as discharging of secondary battery. During charging of battery, electric current is passed through it which causes some chemical changes inside the battery, this chemical changes absorb energy during their formation. When the battery is connected to the external load, the chemical changes take place in reverse direction, during which the absorbed energy is released as electrical energy and supplied to the load.
The Following are the Important Recyclable Parts of the Lead Acid Battery:
- Battery Cases and Covers
- Posts and Terminal(Pure Lead)
- Battery Grids(Cathode and Anode)
- Electrolyte with Lead Paste
The above mentioned parts are explained clearly in the Fig No. 1. Out of the above listed components lead can be recycled from the posts, terminals, Battery Grids and the Electrolyte containing the Lead Paste. The posts and the terminals of the battery are made up of pure lead and they can be directly smelted to produce Lead which is a good option in manual separation of the battery.
