Processing and recycling of waste batteries

Many Western European countries, not only in stores, but also directly on the street are equipped with special boxes for waste batteries recycling, the fee will be collected using specialized batteries sieve selected those terms watches, calculators and other small electronic devices button batteries, which Which generally contain mercury, mercury can be extracted using, and then manually sorting out nickel-cadmium battery cell, France on a factory to extract nickel and cadmium, nickel and then used in steel-making, then re-cadmium batteries used in the production of . The rest of the various types of waste thinkpad t41 battery are generally dedicated to the toxic, hazardous landfill, which not only cost too much (for example: in Germany a ton of landfill waste batteries cost up to 1700 marks), but also lead to waste, because There are still a number of raw materials can be useful material.
Switzerland has two specialized processing and utilization of the old thinkpad t42 battery factory, Batelieke the company's approach is to grind the old battery, and then sent to the heating furnace, this time can be extracted out of the volatile mercury, zinc, when temperatures are higher evaporation, It is also precious metals. After the fusion of iron and manganese steel-making has become necessary for manganese ferroalloy. The plant will process 2,000 tons a year of waste batteries, receive 780 tons of manganese ferroalloy, 400 tons of zinc alloy and 3 tons of mercury. The other plants are extracted directly from the battery iron and manganese oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide and nickel oxide as a mixture of metals such as scrap metal to sell directly.
However, heat treatment method to spend more, Switzerland also provides for each IBM fru 08k8193 charge to buy a small amount of battery waste processing special charges, the country Magdeburg peri-urban areas is the construction of a "wet" installation, where in addition to lead-acid batteries, Various types of batteries are dissolved in sulfuric acid, and then using ion resin solution extracted from a variety of metal objects, in this way to obtain the raw materials than the pure heat treatment method, so a higher price in the market, and the battery contains a variety of material 95% can be extracted. Wetlands can be saved to deal with sorting link (as is sorted manually, will increase the cost). Magdeburg in this device processing capacity of 7500 tons, although the cost is slightly higher than the landfill method, but do not throw away precious raw materials, and will not pollute the environment. Duarte developed by Germany's vacuum heat treatment method also cheaper, but first of all need to scrap IBM 92p1060 , IBM 08k8214 in sorting out the nickel-cadmium batteries, battery waste heat in a vacuum, in which the rapid evaporation of mercury can be recovered, and then the remainder of raw materials Ground with metal magnets extract iron from the remaining powder extracted nickel and manganese. This processing one ton of waste batteries cost less than 1500 marks.
