Lead acid battery (LAB) recycling benefits from a long history and a well-developed processing network across most continents. Yet, LAB recycling is subject to continuous optimization efforts because of increasingly stringent regulations on process discharge and emissions.
In developing countries spent lead batteries are recycled both in industrial facilities and by informal small enterprises. Industrial recycling smelters use both the grid metal and the lead-containing paste to produce secondary lead.
Lead batteries also come from repair workshops, the reprocessing of scrap car bodies and at municipal collection centres. In Germany, for example, this well functioning and effective collection system has led to a return rate of more than 95% for starter batteries and almost 100% for industrial batteries.
The de-copperised lead still contains a large amount of antimony (and maybe some Sn, As). All of these elements can be removed by oxidation. For that purpose air or oxygen-enriched air is blown into the melt and stirred. The different oxides formed settle at the surface and can be skimmed off.
Lead recovery from spent accumulators can take two basic routes. Either the components of an accumulators like lead, plastics, acids, etc. are at first separated and then processed individually, or the acid is extracted first and the batteries are processed as a whole.
