Ways to Deal with Recycling Used Batteries

With the development of technology, the popularity of electric vehicles and the renewal of various portable devices, different types of batteries have appeared. As batteries contain many harmful substances, like heavy metals and acids, which can cause great danger to the soil and the environment if they are casually discarded, how should we deal with used batteries? According to the different types of batteries to waste lithium batteries categorized collection, which part of the battery for example, lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries can be recycled through the lithium battery recycling equipment for battery recycling use.

1 General waste

(1) Alkaline batteries can be disposed of directly in the general trash. In many places, alkaline batteries are regulated as general waste and can be disposed of in general, they are often used in flashlights, toy remote controls, etc.

(2) Carbon-zinc batteries, which are standardized for durability and designed to be safe and harmless, can be disposed of in the regular garbage as well as alkaline batteries.

2 Hazardous waste

(1) Button batteries, which are often used in watches, pacemakers, hearing aids, etc., contain mercury oxide, silver oxide, and other hazardous substances, and can be disposed of with household hazardous waste, or disposed of centrally.

(2) Lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries, lithium-ion batteries are usually used in small electrical appliances, is a significant risk of battery, these batteries should be sent to the battery recycling center for centralized treatment, centralized centers will deal with these waste batteries.

(3) Lead-acid batteries, which are used in engine or battery electric and micro-hybrid vehicles, small telephones and computer systems. These batteries reach the end of their service life, because they contain a large amount of metal lead and corrosive materials such as acid, to be centralized recycling treatment.

Currently the most appearing on the market should be lithium batteries, a large number of retired lithium batteries flow to the market after the need for lithium batteries for the correct treatment, due to lithium batteries there are still metal elements that can be utilized. Lithium battery recycling equipment can be used to crush and dry lithium batteries, separating out valuable metals.
