Overall, lead smelting is a critical process in the lead battery recycling plant, allowing for the extraction of lead from used batteries and the recycling of this lead for use in new batteries or other industrial applications.
Lead acid batteries account for approximately 85% of the total amount of secondary lead. Other sources are dust, pipes, lead glass from LCD, slag from melting processes. The market has been driven by the emerging countries need for cars, motorcycles and bicycles. The production of electric bikes, especially, has emerged and soared since 1998.
The resulting lead is then refined and purified, typically through a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through the lead to remove any remaining impurities. Once the lead has been extracted from the batteries and refined, it can be used to manufacture new batteries or other lead-based products.
Nowadays, 99% of the lead acid batteries are recycled in the US . Lead from spent batteries can be recovered via pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical routes. The most common route worldwide for lead recovery from secondary materials is pyrometallurgy. The feed of secondary lead smelters is typically constituted of:
Pyrometallurgical techniques remain the most common way of processing spent acid lead batteries throughout the world. Traditional applications such as blast, reverberatory and rotary furnaces still are considered as standard worldwide. More recently, direct smelting furnaces have gained interest for the processing of secondary lead materials.
In a lead battery recycling plant, the lead-acid batteries are first broken down into their component parts, which typically includes the lead plates, lead oxide paste, and plastic components. The lead plates and lead oxide paste are then smelted in a furnace to extract the lead.
