What are the recycling methods and purposes of different types of batteries?
Different types of batteries are widely used in different situations. It is a reason to recycle waste batteries more scientifically and economically for natural and human health. After hundreds of years of development, the current main battery brands and basic recycling methods around the world are consistent.
First. Dry cells: alkaline manganese dry cells and zinc manganese dry cells are commonly known as carbon and alkaline batteries. Such batteries must now prohibit the use of mercury, so they are safe in life. Therefore, this type of battery does not require recovery. Of course, there is no harm to users who want to do this in this area. The purpose of recycling is to obtain metal, steel and copper.
Two nickel batteries: nickel is also a toxic substance, nickel batteries, including nickel cadmium and nickel hydrogen batteries, which are used in many cases to replace alkaline zinc manganese batteries. Nickel cadmium and nickel hydrogen batteries have recycling points in some public places. Consumers can collect waste batteries and recycle them. After recycling, the metal is obtained by heating nickel, iron, zinc and cadmium, and other metal oxides can be reprocessed.
Three, including button batteries: silver oxide battery and clasp lithium manganese battery, this small battery is often used in small equipment such as calculator, watch, computer, mouse and so on. This type of battery is characterized by metal containing small amount, small size and mercury. The method of recycling is to replace old batteries with professionals. Therefore, if the battery cannot be used for the use of electrical equipment, the electrical equipment can be moved to the maintenance point where a new battery is replaced. The recovery process was crushed and recycled.
Four. Lithium ion batteries. The lithium battery is a high cost environmentally friendly battery. Since the battery is usually the main part of the equipment, the recycling location of the equipment is usually willing to recycle the lithium battery. Recovery purpose: positive and negative electrodes and partial electrolytes of lithium ion batteries can be reused.
Five, lead-acid battery: the highest recovery rate of all batteries, the reason, 1, more dangerous substances, more harmful, 2, the waste battery, the highest components can be used: plastic, sulfuric acid and lead, are widely used chemical raw materials.
In addition to dry cell pollution, other batteries can be recycled due to high prices or pollution or due to high recyclability. Generally, battery products containing heavy metals. Of course, such batteries are often encountered in people's daily lives and industrial batteries are not debated. Such batteries are usually their own large equipment.
