In this article we will provide a detailed and informative explanation of the process of lead ingot production in a battery recycling facility. The recycling process can be broadly divided into five stages: pre-treatment, breaking and separation, smelting, refining, and ingot production.
1. Pre-treatment: The first step involves collecting and sorting used lead-acid batteries, which are typically sourced from automotive, industrial, and stationary applications. The batteries are sorted based on their type, size, and condition.
Lead-acid battery recycling involves sorting process in order to separate different materials, plastics, and lead sheets and followed by melting process. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. R.D. Prengaman, A.H. Mirza, in Lead-Acid Batteries for Future Automobiles, 2017
Lead from recycled lead–acid batteries has become the primary source of lead worldwide. Battery manufacturing accounts for greater than 85% of lead consumption in the world and recycling rate of lead–acid batteries in the USA is about 99%. Therefore, battery manufacturing and recycled lead form a closed loop.
Regarding the treatment of hazardous waste, lead-acid batteries are the most damaging waste fraction. Phasing out lead-acid batteries for lithium-ion is currently too expensive to be feasible in the unregulated sector, and the capacity of governments to enforce such a measure is limited.

How It Works: The Step by Step of Lead-Acid Battery Recycling
If the battery is deemed unusable, it begins its second life journey through the recycling process. Step 1: Sorting. Lead-acid batteries differ from alkaline (household) and lithium-ion (electronics) batteries in their makeup and components. Each type of battery has its own recycling process. Lithium-ion batteries are especially dangerous and pose significant fire …
How Does Lead-Acid Batteries Work?
During the discharge process, the lead-acid battery generates a current that can be used to power an electrical device. However, as the battery discharges, the concentration of sulfuric acid decreases, and the voltage of the battery drops. Eventually, the battery will become completely discharged and will need to be recharged before it can be used again. It is …

This article focuses on the recovery of valuable resources, such as lead paste and plastic, by the "crushing–sieving–sorting" treatment process. A mixture (lead paste, plastic, and grid) can be obtained from spent LABs by the impact crushing process.
Battery Recycling Process of Lead-Acid and Lithium-Ion
3. Sorting: In this phase, the lead-acid battery components are meticulously separated. Recyclers distinguish and segregate the plastic and paper components from the lead and metal parts of the battery. The lead and heavy metals extracted from the battery then undergo subsequent processing for recycling. 4. Sieving:
