The first step in the recycling of lead scrap is to collect the batteries. Gathering lead acid batteries from dumping sites is the step. At this point, the used batteries are collected by a recycling company. 2. Crushing for Recycling of Lead Scrap The next step is crushing in the recycling process of lead. The batteries must be broken apart next.
The ease with which the lead–acid battery is recycled has made the lead–acid battery the captive user of most secondary lead. Moreover, technologies have been developed in the last few decades that enable recycling of other components of a lead–acid battery such as acid and plastic and these will further ease environmental concerns.
Recycling of lead-acid batteries flourishes because manufacturers seek the material as a source to make new battery products, which are profitable. The battery chemistry of a lead-acid cell simplifies its recycling process, whereas that of a LIB complicates recycling.
As dissipative uses of lead such as tetraethyl lead as gasoline additive, lead pigments, leaded glass, lead oxide for cathode ray tube, etc., have decreased or have been eliminated, lead–acid battery scrap has become the dominant feed material for secondary smelters.
Lead from recycled lead–acid batteries has become the primary source of lead worldwide. Battery manufacturing accounts for greater than 85% of lead consumption in the world and recycling rate of lead–acid batteries in the USA is about 99%. Therefore, battery manufacturing and recycled lead form a closed loop.
The primary worldwide source of recycling lead scrap is lead acid batteries. The waste from associated production plants and scrap lead acid batteries contain more than 90% of the lead that may be recycled, and utilized automobile batteries makeup around 85% of all the waste materials utilized in lead acid batteries.

Introduction.
Battery scrap – raw material for recycling. The major source of raw material for lead recycling are starter batteries from motor vehicles. Modern car batteries consist of a PP (polypropylen)-casing, plates (grids and paste), connectors/poles and bridges, and PP-separators as insulators between the plates (Fig 1).
There is a growing need to develop novel processes to recover lead from end-of-life lead-acid batteries, due to increasing energy costs of pyrometallurgical lead recovery, the resulting CO 2 emissions and the catastrophic health …
The technology used for modern lead–acid battery recycling is designed to meet the economic and environmental needs of an industrialized economy; the main processes use thermal methods with a reducing agent to produce lead from spent batteries. Electrochemical methods have been explored to replace thermal methods, including electrowinning ...

These regulations specify the procedures and provisions applicable during the production, storage, distribution and recycling of lead-acid batteries. The purpose of this article is to describe the conventional effluent purification processes used for the recovery of materials that make up lead acid batteries, and their comparison with the ...
There is a growing need to develop novel processes to recover lead from end-of-life lead-acid batteries, due to increasing energy costs of pyrometallurgical lead recovery, the resulting CO 2 emissions and the catastrophic health implications of lead exposure from lead-to-air emissions.
Therefore, finding a cleaner and more cost-efficient Pb recovery and recycling method is critical to the Pb recycling community. This chapter reviews the waste lead-acid battery (LAB) recycling technologies. LAB structure, components and use areas are given.
In this paper, we have comprehensively reviewed the methods of recycling waste LABs. Particularly, we focused on the valuable component of waste lead paste and critically …

In this paper, we have comprehensively reviewed the methods of recycling waste LABs. Particularly, we focused on the valuable component of waste lead paste and critically evaluated the pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical techniques associated with it.
NUOVOpb, an EU-supported project, successfully separated the spent materials from LABs, ''recovering'' them in a water-based recycling process to produce ''battery ready'' lead oxide. The process offers a start-up cost around one seventh of existing LAB recycling and a comparable operating cost to existing recycling methods.
