Abstract

In view of dwindling resources of primary metal and growing environmental awareness, the recycle of lead is becoming increasingly necessary in India and other countries. A perusal of supply and demand projections for India reveals a lead supply shortfall of 68,300 tonnes by the year 2000. With a stagnation of primary metal production, the lead resources contained within spent batteries provide an excellent opportunity for the secondary recovery industry. This article cites various processes used in India to recover lead from spent batteries. In addition, a modified electrochemical method which is currently being adopted is described.
