5. WHY LEAD RECYCLING… ?
Lead Battery Scrap is a Hazardous waste and unsafe disposal creates Environmental / Health problems.
Careful Recycling is essential, beneficial & cost effective in comparison to its safe disposal cost.
Secondary Production of Lead (Recycling) from Scrap results in less Solid Wastes, uses less energy & reduces the consumption of minerals resources compared to the Lead Production from Ores.

6. BATTERY RECYCLING CYCLE…
Lead is the 5th most widely used Metal on earth
Lead has highest rate of recycling among all Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals
Lead is only metal on earth which retains its 100% Chemical & Physical properties, irrespective of any number of recycling
Worldwide production of secondary Lead has increased substantially in the past decade.

15. ENVIRONMENT… Most critical part of ‘Lead Recycling
Operation’ is of Air Pollution Control
Lead Recycling Plants should be
specifically designed to meet specific
norms of particular country’s guide-line
All Environmental Standards, Which has
serious concern in Lead Smelting
Operations are:
Ambient Air Standard
Stack Emission Standard
Effluent Discharge Standard
Solid Waste Disposal Limits
Noise Levels
Occupational Exposure of work force

16. TREATMENT SYSTEMS…
The effective Pollution Control Equipments consist of the
following :
 Dust Collector  Cyclone  Cooling Tower
 Bag House  Wet-Scrubber  Chimney 16

17. SUMMERY …
Lead Acid Battery Scrap Recycling is essential for mankind as well as for Industry survival
Recent technological deployments made Lead Battery Scrap Recycling Operations as Environment-friendly “
Increasing Environmental Awareness makes this operation more professional & technical, which finally leads to highly economic viability ”
