Benefit analysis of recycling used batteries

Benefit analysis of recycling used batteries

In recent years, China’s annual consumption for the production of Discount laptop battery to 120,000 tons of zinc, 200,000 tons of manganese dioxide, 20,000 tons of copper, there is a considerable amount of zinc chloride, graphite, asphalt, steel and other material. Mn and other resources need to go through mining, ore dressing, smelting and other processes was already consumed a large amount of resources, but also a certain amount of pollution generated.

Therefore, the used Laptop battery to deal with the sound and comprehensive utilization, environmental protection, the protection of significant resources to support the handling of used batteries imminent industry.

With the increase in battery consumption, improve recycling system, the experts predict that the battery recycling will lead to new business opportunities. China’s production of dry batteries ranks first in the world 15 billion annual domestic consumption amounted to 7000 million.

Batteries will be used manganese, aluminum, mercury and other substances extracted, can create larger profits. Experts, to build a Dell XPS M1330 battery factory, although used to be about eight million yuan, but its revenue is very impressive, not only can enjoy the state’s environmental protection enterprises preferential tax, at the same time every day as long as 100,000 to ensure the handling capacity of the battery can be 1.5-2 million profit. According to forecasts, the end of this century, China’s annual consumption of the battery will reach 7.8 billion.

Recently, by the Beijing University of Science and Technology and Hebei Yixian of used batteries renewable joint treatment plant put into operation. The plant used Dell Inspiron 6400 battery scrap processing technology, is different from Japan’s “wet”, but also different from that of Switzerland’s “dry”, nor is it the joint law of wet and dry.

Its process as follows: material is broken down – chemical purification – waste water treatment, and ultimately can be recycled tin, zinc skin, such as copper material copper needle cap, and through access to high-quality electrolytic processing of zinc, manganese products, but also the recovery of mercury and iron by-product of red. The plant has a total investment of 7.8 million yuan, the design was to deal with 3,000 tons of used PowerBook G4 battery.

Supply of raw materials used battery prospects, Beijing 200 million each year battery consumption, for a total of 6,000 tons in 1999, recovered only 60 tons, the recovery rate of only 1%. 10,000 batteries a ton of weight, to achieve 3,000 tons, 100 million will need to used batteries, which means that Beijing’s half used Dell laptop battery will be recycled and can be harmless treatment.

Rechargeable battery Recycling Attentions

Rechargeable battery Recycling Attentions

Don’t throw away used rechargeable batteries and cell phones! Recycle them!

All personnel handling RBRC collection boxes should follow these safety guidelines to ensure safe storage and shipping of used rechargeable batteries and cell phones. Call2Recycle mandates a ONE rechargeable BATCL50L battery, ONE bag rule. Utilize Call2Recycle-provided collection boxes and bags meeting U.S. DOT requirements to properly insulate individual batteries and cell phones for transport.

RBRC’s Call2Recycle program recycles Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), Nickel Zinc (Ni-Zn), and Small Sealed Lead (Pb)* rechargeable Aspire One battery found in cellular and cordless phones, cordless power tools, laptop computers, PDAs, two-way radios, camcorders, remote control toys, and other cordless products.

* weighing less than 11 lbs/5 kg each.

Alkaline, lithium, or other non-rechargeable batteries are not accepted for laptop battery recycling.

Call2Recycle accepts all cell phone makes and models. Phones must be deactivated prior to depositing into the collection box. Do not accept bag or cordless phones.

Used rechargeable batteries may still contain a residual charge that can short-circuit if terminals come in contact with other battery terminals during storage and shipping.

To prevent short-circuits, RBRC mandates a ONE rechargeable Travelmate 290 battery, ONE bag rule. Each rechargeable battery, or cell phone with installed battery, must be placed into a separate plastic bag. If plastic bags are unavailable, cover battery terminals with tape (electrical, duct, or masking).

The shipment of rechargeable batteries that have not been properly packaged to prevent short-circuits is a violation of Federal law. Additionally, failure to comply with these Call2Recycle shipping guidelines may lead to a disruption of recycling services.

Place the rechargeable battery and cell phone collection box in a monitored location. The box should be within easy reach of properly trained personnel.

While rechargeable batteries are normally safe to handle, they contain materials that can vent during use. If a rechargeable battery appears to be dirty or to have a white powdery substance around the terminal, exercise caution when handling. Do not touch the dirty area. Wash your hands with soap and water. Put the battery in a plastic bag before placing it in the collection box BATCL50L, BATCL50L4 .

Do not attempt to discharge a rechargeable battery by short-circuiting the terminals.

Do not accept wet batteries. Batteries should be dry before being placed into the collection box.

Do not overfill the collection box. When a collection box is full, seal and ship using the prepaid shipping label Travelmate 290 battery . RBRC will automatically ship replacement boxes as needed. Allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Exercise caution when handling a collection box filled with rechargeable aspire one batteries and cell phones. It may cause personal injury if dropped. If a collection box breaks and releases its contents, place the rechargeable batteries and cell phones into a new collection box.
