As already mentioned, lead-acid battery recycling has a long tradition, especially in industrialised countries. The battery and scrap trade takes back spent batteries free of charge or even pays the metal value.
The batteries contain large amounts of lead either as solid metal or lead-oxide powder. An average battery can contain up to 10 kilograms of lead.
In current scheme of the lead recycling, the circulability value indicates the ratio of lead remaining in the life cycle of lead-acid battery that the current situation in China for lead-acid battery industry, it still requires 66% of the total lead from primary lead production.
To a broader level, the entire life cycle of lead-acid battery needs to be considered that are raw materials production, lead-acid battery design, production and consumption, end-of-life process including collection of spent LABs and recycling or reuse of lead for lead acid battery (Fig. 9) (Sun et al., 2017).
According to the 2015 report on lead-acid battery by Chinese Association of Battery Industry (Zhao and Cao, 2015-11-24), disposal of lead-containing acid increases significantly by year in the past 12 years and it only starts to decrease from recently (Fig. 1 b). Lead is of highly toxic, poisoning almost every organ through blood.
Subsequently, the MIIT and MEE issued new conditions for companies entering the lead battery and the secondary lead industry in 2012, stipulating that newly renovated and expanded recycling enterprises entering the sector must have a minimum capacity of 50 kt/a.
