How to know About LEAD ACID BATTERY RECYCLING PLANT?

by Vishal Ahmad Digital Marketing Expert

According to the Global Footprint Network, if everyone in the world consumed as much as the average American, we would need four Earths to sustain them. Approximately 85% of the total global consumption of lead is for the production of lead-acid batteries. This represents a fast-growing market, especially in Asia. The main uses of these batteries are in motorized vehicles, for storage of energy generated by photo voltaic cells and wind turbines, and for back-up power supplies (for both the consumer market and for critical systems such as

Telecommunications and hospitals). Mettherm is a lead acid recycling plant that helps in getting rid of these unused batteries and recycle them in the most efficient and professional way.

KNOW HOW WE RECYCLE

• Collection and transportation of the batteries to a recycling facility

• Separation of the component parts of the batteries

• Smelting and refining of the lead components

• Washing then shredding or melting of the plastic components

• Purification and treatment of the sulfuric acid electrolyte

• Treatment and disposal of waste

WHY RECYCLE BATTERIES?

· Reduction in waste sent to landfills.

· conservation of natural resources such as metals and minerals

· prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials

· saves energy

· reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the risk of global warming

· recycled products used in making new products

· prevents the metal from reacting to rain water and contamination of water

WHY METTHERM?

Unlike other lead acid battery recycling plant, Mettherm takes all the measure during the recycling process. At every stage in the recycling process there are measures that can be taken to prevent or reduce the release of lead. We take all the measures that should be taken at battery collection and storage sites include the following (CEC, 2016; UNEP, 2003). We make sure that the batteries should not be drained at the collection point. They should be stored securely and sheltered from the weather. The storage location is well ventilated and the ground should be coated with acid-resistant concrete or other resistant material. Leaking batteries should be placed in acid-resistant containers. The number of stored batteries should be controlled. There should be prominent hazard warnings. Battery collectors should not sell their batteries on to unlicensed lead smelters.
