Lead Battery Recycling

Lead-acid batteries are crushed during recycling into pieces that measure about the size of a nickel. The various components are separated out of the pieces. Crushing is done inside a hammer mill before the broken parts are inserted into a vat. When inside the vat, the heavy materials and lead drop to the bottom and the plastic floats.

During this part of the process, the polypropylene plastic pieces are scooped up while the liquids are removed, leaving the heavy metals and lead. Thereafter, each of the materials go through a different recycling process.

Benefits of Recycling

» Help sustain a cleaner planet for future generations
» Prevent harm to humans & wildlife
» Prevent toxic components entering the environment
» Conserve natural mineral resources
» Reduce the amount of energy needed to produce new lead from ore

INTERESTING LEAD FACTS

» Approx. 1 billion vehicles worldwide rely on
secondary lead-based batteries for power.
» The lead in lead based batteries can be
recycled an infinite number of times.
» lead recycle from scrap batteries can be
used in new batteries, radiation protection,
sporting goods and many more.
» 85% of industrial batteries are lead based
» Approx 80% household solar energy storage batteries are lead based
» Alloying lead with copper or antimony makes lead both harder and more resistant to acid.
» Today, over half of the lead produced is used as electrodes in lead-acid car batteries.
» Lead is still widely used to make statues and sculptures. It is used to make bullets and shot ammo and is also used in radiation shields around X-ray equipment.
