Waste Batteries Uses and Hazards

Everything around you uses energy from one or some other form, and battery is the use of chemical energy and other forms of energy into electrical energy. Currently batteries can be divided into alkaline batteries, dry batteries, micro batteries, etc. Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of.

The hazards of waste batteries

Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of. According to analysis, a dry-ri contains 50 - 100mg of the tribute, once mixed with mercury batteries groundwater or drinking water may enter the body through the crops, damage people's kidneys. Additionally, mercury in water is even more dangerous, micro-organisms play an important part in converting inorganic mercury into methyl mercury accumulation, which through continuous enrichment of the food chain, reaches fish in water. Once people use this kind of fish, methyl mercury will enter the human body. Further, as methyl mercury is easily absorbed easily accumulate in the brain, thus people's nervous systems eventually damages, in serious cases will go crazy to death. Relevant data indicate that the size of a fingernail scrap button batteries, can contaminate 600,000 liters of water; a bad Li-ion battery in the ground will enable one square meter of land vegetation, have not risen. This is fact is very shocking.
Moreover, to talk about pollution, a waste battery in the having lead has also brought a lot of harm. If lead battery is improperly disposed of lead compounds through the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract into the body, can cause people suffering from anemia and nephritis, a serious nervous system damage, affecting people's intelligence. Other metals such as zinc, copper and manganese can accumulate in the body and can directly attack people’s immunity to weaken, or even contracted an incurable disease. Therefore, the used batteries are as natural "time bomb" ready to explode and pollute environment.

Waste battery recycling and treatment

Although there are various hazardous of waste batteries, but many parts from battery can be scraped out and can be easily recycled, and by recycling, a number of metals are recovered that can be reused as secondary raw materials. Bindal Metals & Minerals with the state of the art lead recycling processes in India, can help lessen the amount of waste that may affect our environment by process of recycling. Recycling can recover, a certain amount of lead scraps, lead ingots, manganese, copper, mercury and other metal. We put in efforts to recycle battery scrap in India and contributed to environmental protection.

Battery usage and recycling education:

A little knowledge can help; Bindal Metals & Minerals is the largest battery scrap dealer in India providing all kinds of battery scrap services. All kind of batteries such as Lead Acid Battery, NiCd batteries, Batteries containing mercury or Li-Ion batteries can be recycled and all has different processes of recycle. Bindal Metals & Minerals provides cost-effective use of recycling technologies that protects our environment. You can be a part of initiative to save our environment, help us in making this world a better place.

In order to improve pollution from waste batteries and for better protection of the environment, we can put in following initiatives:
1. Take care in economical use of battery;
2. Please do not arbitrarily discard batteries, used batteries battery thrown into recycling bins;
3. Publicize the people around you, about the battery pollution and its hazards, improve environmental awareness.
4. To intensify half truths and enhance people's understanding of the hazards of waste batteries.
5. Encourage people to use a smaller battery of environmental pollution.

We hope that through our hard work, there will be greater awareness of used batteries. Please keep in mind the hazards of waste batteries, do not arbitrarily discard used batteries. All these require little effort on your part, our Earth environment is of great significance. Let us help in making this world a better place, with bluer sky, greener grass, the more clear water, and save world!
