Battery Dismantling

Battery Dismantling

Manual or Mechanical Dismantling: The first step in recycling lead-acid batteries is dismantling the batteries to separate different components. This can be done manually or mechanically in a safe and controlled environment.

Separation of Components: Lead-acid batteries consist of several parts:

• Lead: Found in the battery plates.
• Sulfuric Acid: Used as the electrolyte in batteries, which must be handled carefully.
• Plastic and Rubber Casings: The outer casing is usually made of plastic or rubber, which can also be recycled.

• Neutralizing Acid: The sulfuric acid in the battery is neutralized, typically by converting it into water and neutralizing the acid with an alkaline substance, or it is converted into sodium sulfate, a chemical used in laundry detergents, glass, and textiles.
