Recycling apparatus for used Zinc-Carbon and Alkaline batteries and method thereof

摘要

Provide are an apparatus and method for recycling waste zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries, which can perfectly solve the generation of social costs and environmental problems due to the burial of the zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries according to a conventional recycling method. An iron coated battery and an International Standard 4R25 lantern battery or an American National Standard 4FM lantern battery (hereinafter, referred to as a "non-iron coated battery") that is called a lantern battery are separated from the waste zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries, wherein iron scraps and waste battery powder are separated from the iron coated battery as valuable metals through crushing, pulverizing, screening, magnetic separation processes to recover and recycle the valuable metals, and wherein a zinc ingot, a carbon rod, an iron terminal spring, and waste battery powder mainly including manganese dioxide that is a total mixture of the other remaining materials are separated from inflammable remnants of the iron coated battery and the non-iron coated battery as valuable metals through pyrolysis carbonization, primary crushing, primary screening, secondary crushing, and secondary screening processes to recover the valuable metals. The waste zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries are recycled at almost 100%.
