How do you recycle various batteries?

There are many types of batteries we are familiar with, such as dry battery nickel battery button batteries, lithium-ion battery lead-acid batteries, etc. These batteries are used in different fields of our lives, but what? When the battery is used up, it is optional to discard it or take the correct method for recycling. We all know that some batteries are randomly discarded, which will pollute the environment. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out scientific recycling of the used battery. Today, I will take you to find out about the recycling of various types of batteries.

1. Dry battery: Alkaline manganese dry battery and zinc manganese dry battery, that is, commonly referred to as carbon battery and alkaline battery. Such batteries are currently required to ban mercury and are therefore safe in life. For this reason, there is no requirement for recycling of such batteries. Of course, there is a business that is willing to recycle and can be engaged in this aspect. The user can also put it into the trash can. The purpose of recycling is to obtain metal steel and copper.

2. Nickel batteries: Nickel is also a toxic substance. Nickel batteries include nickel-cadmium and nickel-hydrogen batteries, which are used as substitutes for alkaline zinc-manganese batteries in many cases. Nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries have all the recycling points in some public places, and consumers can collect the waste batteries and hand them over to the collection point. The use after recovery is to obtain nickel, iron, zinc, and cadmium by heating, and other metal oxides can be reprocessed.

3. Button battery: They include silver oxide batteries and button lithium manganese batteries, which are used in calculators, watches, computers, mice and other small devices. The recycling method is to replace old batteries by professionals. Therefore, when the battery of the electrical equipment fails to work, the electrical equipment can be carried to the maintenance point to exchange for a new battery. The treatment after recycling is to crush and recycle the metal.

4. Lithium ion battery: Lithium batteries are a kind of environmentally friendly batteries with high manufacturing cost. Since batteries are usually the main accessories of equipment, equipment recycling places are generally willing to recycle lithium batteries. Purpose of recycling: The positive and negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries and some electrolytes can be reused.

5. Lead-acid batteries: The highest recovery rate among all batteries is because, 1. there are many dangerous substances, which are harmful. 2. the most available components in used batteries are: plastic, sulfuric acid and lead. They are all widely used chemical raw materials.

From the above we can know that most of the batteries need to be recycled after they are used up, so that the pollution to the environment can be minimized.
