Abstract
Lead-acid batteries are commonly used as power sources for critical operations in the world. They find application in air-traffic control towers, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), railroad crossings, military installations, hospitals, and weapons systems. Lead-acid batteries are also known as automotive batteries and industrial batteries. Lead-acid batteries consist of large amounts of lead, sulphuric acid, and plastics. The acid is tremendously irritant and a carrier for soluble information. The lead must control because of a range of adverse health effects. Thus, a collectible system that is easily accessible for waste batteries is needed. In this paper, a sustainable model is proposed for the leaching of lead-acid battery slag. The aim is to optimize the leaching of lead-acid batteries slag with natural materials. The leaching characteristic of the lead smelting slag produced using sepiolite and illite. A 23 full factorial design model is used to investigate the combination of the effect of variable factors.
Highlights
This study focuses on the safe disposal and leaching behavior of the lead smelting slag using natural materials
Lead smelting slag was obtained from AKUDER, which produces in Istanbul
This indicates that the high high level level of of adsorbent adsorbent type type and leachate leachate solution solution negatively negatively affects affects the the adsorbent adsorbent dosage dosage positively positively impacting impacting the the reaction reaction efficiency. These results indicate that leaching of lead metal ions decreased as the level of sepiolite and illite increased
Summary
Sustainability 2021, 13, Batteries are used as the most common energy storage equipment. They are the earliest class of rechargeable batteries. Lead storage batteries are known as lead-acid batteries too. They are still used as the most effective energy density solution, being an inexpensive, simple to manufacture technology. Lead-acid batteries find wide application as electronic systems, security systems, energy support systems, storage and support units in renewable energy production, as well as and existing and newly developed different systems
