GLOBAL SECONDARY MARKET INTERNATIONAL TRENDS IN LEAD RECYCLING BATTERY COLLECTION

摘要

Lead is one of man's most valuable commodities occurring naturally in the environment, and is mined and processed in some 60 countries. The usage continues to increase and will rise from 6 million tons worldwide in 1990s, to about 9 million tons in this current year. The regional collection and distribution system of scrap batteries works on the rales and regulation implemented by government bodies. We should be open to making efforts in defining a hassle-free and clean system of battery collection, and implement pollution free lead recycling. With time, most governments, along with local representative bodies, in order to curb the ill-effects of unconventional recycling systems have emerged to promote eco-friendly recycling policies. Lead recycling is practiced using highly efficient technology for optimal and effective pollution control making it an example of green recycling. In today's world, to meet the competition, constant R&D is necessary, for example the use of the oxy burner for reduction process. Various other technologies are also used based on the specific criteria and development opportunities, for example the hydrometallurgical' process for lead refining. Thus, lead acid battery recycling process technology is an art just because it has to be done with ease and organized making the environment feel -good.
