The status of recycling waste battery in different country

Japan:

Hokkaido mountain Nomura Kosan Co., Ltd. is a major business deal with waste laptop batteries and fluorescent light treatment of waste, people have 110 employees. Built this way are due here in Japan found the first silver water. Nomura Kosan acquired annually from the country reached 13,000 tons of waste electricity, accounting for 20% of scrap batteries collected is 93 percent non-governmental environmental protection organizations through the collection, 7% through the factory to collect. This business in 1985, at present, the volume has been increasing purification. The past, was mainly one of Recycling of mercury, through the high-temperature (600-700 ℃) Incinerator burning of the mercury emissions rule out the collection, but in Japan no mercury-containing batteries, and battery on the main Recycling steel and one of the “black” material and the development of secondary products manufacturing, such as one of a product can be used in the CRT TV. The cost of treatment to reach ¥ 80 / kg, produced a profit depends largely on the former deal with used batteries charged (mainly plant) and secondary use of the product value, one of the latter is the key.

Recycling latitude d510 battery occupy a large space, Nomura Kosan is a private enterprise, the Japanese government had not put a penny of it, but the Battery Industry Association, Japan has provided a great assist, and coordinate major Japanese manufacturers for some financial compensation. Treatment capacity was 16,000 tons. Also extraction of spent fluorescent lamps of up to 40 tons of mercury a year, while demand in Japan for one year only 20 tons, and in this regard can be done completely recycled, but also to ensure that its profits.

Other batteries such as lead-acid latitude d520 battery, the Japanese can be achieved 100% recycling, rechargeable battery and cell phone batteries are also being adopted by manufacturers with active, especially in lithium ion batteries Recycling cobalt profits are very substantial.

Through investigation, combined with our country’s actual conditions, in my opinion are the first and foremost to resolutely carry out the nine ministries and commissions regarding restrictions of mercury in latitude d600 battery provides that as soon as possible the implementation of China’s mercury-free batteries, the batteries will be a harmful components of the environmental impact of mercury through the law enforcement industry, manufacturers strive to minimize, followed by publicity through various means, enhance the environmental awareness of citizens for battery recycling and landfill, waste battery recycling system set up. Is the country have encouraged the use of renewable technologies in order to do so as soon as possible after the recycling and reuse. As regards the question of profits can take a variety of ways such as sharing to consumers, there is the market development of products and so on.

Germany:

In order to strengthen the management of used latitude d610 battery, Germany implemented a battery recycling waste management the new requirements. Requirements of consumers will use the End of dry batteries, button batteries, such as various types of batteries to the store or scrap Recycling Recycle Bin, shops and waste recycling of used batteries must be unconditionally accepted and shall be transmitted to deal with the manufacturer for recycling.

 It is estimated that worldwide there is an annual 32 billion used dell 312-0068  being thrown away, only Germany will be the average annual consumption of 10 batteries, a total of approximately 30,000 tons, a large number of discarded used batteries on soil damage to the environment are serious. German Environment Department for the new regulations can throw used batteries to eliminate the phenomenon, is still not sure, because Prior to this, waste recycling and manufacturers generally Recycling cadmium, mercury toxic chemical component of batteries, and 90% of the ordinary zinc carbon batteries and aluminum-magnesium batteries are used as landfill or incineration of garbage treatment.

According to the German Ministry of Environment Statistics, Germany with an annual Recycling toxic nickel-cadmium dell 6y270  is only 1 / 3, and 2 / 3 of battery life as a garbage disposal, the annual inflow of mercury in the environment of about 8 tons, 400 tons of nickel, cadmium 400 tons.

In general, for ordinary consumers to distinguish between toxic  dell 1×793 life or deal with non-toxic batteries and are difficult, and therefore require new stores and to assume responsibility for waste recycle bin. Ministry of the Environment, a new way of thinking is correct toxic nickel-cadmium batteries and mercury-containing batteries to implement a deposit system, that is, consumers buy each cell contains a deposit of 15 marks, when consumers take old batteries to change, the price can be automatically deducted from the deposit.

Magdeburg peri-urban areas is the construction of a “wet processing” devices, where in addition to lead-acid dell c1295 , the various types of batteries are dissolved in sulfuric acid, then with ion resin extracted from the solution of various metal objects, using raw materials obtained in this way pure than the heat treatment method, so a higher price in the market, and the battery contained in a variety of substances can have 95% extracted. Wet treatment may be omitted aspect sorting (sorting is because manually, will increase the cost). Magdeburg annual processing capacity of this device can reach 7500 tons, although its cost is slightly higher than the landfill method, but the precious raw material is not discarded, it would not pollute the environment.

Germany Duarte developed vacuum heat treatment method also cheaper, but it is necessary first of all spent inspiron 1100 battery at sorting out the nickel-cadmium batteries, used batteries in a vacuum heating, one of the rapid evaporation of mercury can be recovered, then the remaining material grinding, extraction of metallic iron with magnets, and then extract the powder from the remaining nickel and manganese. This processing one ton of scrap batteries cost less than 1500 marks.

Switzerland:

Has two specialized processing plants to use the old battery, take Botlic method is to grind the old inspiron 5100 battery, and then sent to the furnace heating, then extracted volatilized mercury, temperature is also higher zinc evaporation, it precious metals are same. Iron and manganese after fusion required for manganese ferroalloy steel. The Factory Machinable year 2000 tons of waste batteries, available 780 tons of manganese ferro-alloys, 400 tons of zinc alloy and 3 tons of mercury. Another factory is extracted directly from the battery of iron and manganese oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide and nickel oxide and other metal compounds as the direct sale of scrap metal.

However, the higher cost of heat treatment methods, Switzerland also provides batteries to each buy a small amount of scrap latitude d620 battery to charge special fees processing.

United States:

Environmental management of scrap batteries in the legislation up to the smallest one country, not only set up a sound system recycling used battery , and set up a number of waste battery treatment plant, at the same time unswervingly carry out publicity and education to the public for the public to consciously support and Recycling of scrap fujitsu laptop battery with the job.
