Abstract

Electrochemical Process Advancements for Recycling Lead-Acid Batteries

Author(s): James Stan

The lead-acid battery recycling sector is well-established, but traditional pyrometallurgical techniques are far from ecologically friendly. As a result, recent advancements in lead-acid battery recycling technologies have focused on low-temperature (electro) hydrometallurgical processes, the subject of this review, which includes modified electrolytes, improved reaction engineering, better reactor design, and control of operating conditions.
