Recycling prevents the emission of lead into the environment and also avoids the energy usage associated with manufacturing lead from virgin resources. Obtaining secondary lead from used lead-acid batteries can be economically attractive, depending upon the market price of lead.
Lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid and large amounts of lead. The acid is extremely corrosive and is also a good carrier for soluble lead and lead particulate. Lead is a highly toxic metal that produces a range of adverse health effects particularly in young children.
Khor claims that ETI Tech’s home-grown lithium polymer technology is the first commercially available alternative to lead acid batteries in the world. “The problem of lead-acid batteries in not unique to Malaysia,” he notes. Figure 2: Lead acid battery can cause contamination if not properly disposed.
Lead acid battery performance has been well established and has become a common choice for batteries used in electric vehicles due to the vehicle designers’ familiarity of the technology. 3. For mobile battery application, a high energy density means a smaller and lighter battery size is required to power the electric device.
Accordingly, the amount of waste lead-acid batteries has increased to new levels; therefore, the pollution caused by the waste lead-acid batteries has also significantly increased.
The most common and most efficient method for the collection of lead-acid batteries is through the battery retailer where a discount is given against the purchase price of a new battery provided the customer returns the used battery.
