ABSTRACT:
A method has been developed whereby scrap lead storage batteries are mechanically treated and screened. Upon subsequent heating of the oversized fraction, 25-30% of the dry weight is recovered as metal. Using this method as a pretreatment to the reduction of the lead oxides and lead sulfate, a significant cost reduction can be made to the overall process. As a process of its own, metallic lead can be obtained and sold and the residual lead compounds can be sold to a smelter as a higher quality feed.
