3 From primitive industry... Small battery smelters Carrying particles of lead, plastic, and sulfuric acid into the air... No Safety standards No Environmental awareness

4 Recycling as old as mankind, a common practice for most of human history not popular until the World War II a profession the only natural resource which will grow, not decline. often used as a generic term to describe the fact that waste material is used in a manufacturing process, as a replacement for a primary production raw material one of the oldest, and continues to be one of the most successful forms of material reclamation. SHARIF METALS INT L

5 To world leading industries where batteries were 100% recycled in facilities with environmental compliance. SHARIF METALS INT L Sustainable product designs manufactured defect-free and durable, that provide years of performance. Employing the most advanced control technology available to reduce lead emissions into the air, wastewater and stormwater. Energy conservation and renewable technologies. Strict Safety Standards and Compliance.

8 Types of batteries that can be recycled Most types of batteries can be recycled. However, some batteries are recycled more readily than others. Lead-acid batteries, nearly 90% are recycled Button cells, because of the value and toxicity of their chemicals Alkaline and rechargeable batteries Lead-acid batteries These batteries include but are not limited to:- car batteries olf cart batteries UPS batteries Industrial fork-lift batteries Motorcycle batteries Commercial batteries.

12 The main features of the recycling process include: The batteries are collected, separated and crushed; the Lead is smelted, then refined. Collection leaking batteries should be stored on a bunded pallet the storage place should be sheltered from rain, water sources and away from heat the ground of the storage place should have a ground cover, preferably plastic or any other acid-resistant material, that retains any leakage and directs it to a collection container for disposal, the storage place should have good ventilation to prevent hazardous gas accumulation, the storage place should have restricted access and be identified as a hazardous material storage place.

15 Crushing Bigger sets of plants crush down batteries using shredders. It is commonly known as Battery Shredders systems. Once these Batteries are crushed, 4 typical segments are generated viz. Lead Grids, Lead paste, Separators, PP. The Lead Grids are melted down in the gig kettles to produce Lead directly with further refinement.

16 Separation There are two hazardous components in lead-acid batteries, which need to be treated quite separately, the electrolytic solution and battery casing. The electrolytic solution is dilute sulphuric acid, which is a liquid and can leak from damaged batteries. The battery casing contains lead that is connected to the casing and can be recovered by suitable professionals.

17 Smelting Furnace is a kind of equipment that is used in process of smelting. It is basically used for smelting process. Smelting is a process which involves the reduction of Lead-bearing scrap into metallic Lead in a furnace. The product of smelting, depending on initial raw material, can be either a branded metal, or an ingot for a further processing. Lead Scrap Melting Furnace Each furnace is designed and operated to produce a certain Lead product. The following furnaces are the most common types of smelting furnaces used in the industry: 1. Blast Furnace 2. Rotary Furnace

20 Refining The process of removing unwanted contaminants by various treatments carried out on a bath of molten Lead is known as Lead refining. In conventional Lead refining, the bullion from the smelting unit must invariably be drossed. Drossing (or rough drossing) is accomplished by cooling the bullion to within 50 C of the freezing point of Lead. REFINING KETTLE FURNACES Crude Lead produced during smelting operations is remelted in cast iron kettles and refined by the addition of reagents, such as Sulphur and caustic soda. The purified Lead is then cast into molds or ingots. Typically, metal from the smelting furnace is melted in an indirect-fired kettle or pot and the trace elements are combined to produce the desired alloy. AUTOMATIC CASTING MACHINE

28 Environmental Impact Acid utilization and neutralization A way to curb pollution - it transforms used batteries which would otherwise be considered waste and harmful to our environment Recycling of lead-acid batteries helps reduce the mining and extraction of new lead. Leads toward low-carbon future = cleaner energy and greener growth. Application of environmentally friendly technologies:- Desulfurization of lead paste to avoid emission of harmful SO2 and SO gases during smelting Oxygen enriched fuel during smelting for low NOX emission Direct conversion of lead paste to lead oxide bypassing environmentally costly smelting of lead 65% - reduced carbon emission on recycled lead Saves Natural Resources Saves Energy Saves Clean Air and Water Saves Landfill Space Recycling Preserves the Environment; The process of recycling protects the environment.

29 Environmental Benefits of Lead Batteries Careful preservation and protection and management of our natural resources will help sustain our environment for future generations. More than 99% of all battery lead and plastic is recycled, making the lead battery the recycled leader of all consumer products. The life cycle of a lead battery follows a continuous, closed loop. Lead batteries and the environment are one of the environmental success stories of our lifetime. The typical new Lead-Acid Battery is made with 60-80% recycled Lead and plastic.

30 Social Impact or our future generion and the survivals of present. Creating jobs 1.5M directly employed worldwide Many communities have curbside battery recycling services to help out and there are battery recycling centers all across the country where spent batteries can be brought. People recycle to help the earth to become a cleaner & greener place! Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations. Our Social Responsibility -Conserve & preserve the environment

31 Economical, Environmental & Social impacts Systematic recycling system for batteries considers all the economical, environmental and social impacts as well as the environmental norms for our own good. Continuous monitoring & control Continuous expanded monitoring and control of the other streams of the recycling system is required to ensure a toxic free atmosphere. Sustaining present and future generations Battery recycling can help sustain sufficient supply of natural resources and diminish the dangers of environmental pollution for our upcoming generation and the survivals of present.
