Why should we recycle laptop battery
Types and uses of household batteries
The lead-acid batteries Car:
Nearly 90 percent of all lead-acid batteries are recycled. Almost any retailer that sells lead-acid batteries collects used batteries for recycling, as required by most state laws. Reclaimers crush batteries into nickel-sized pieces and separate the plastic components. They send the plastic to a reprocessor for manufacture of new plastic products and deliver purified lead battery manufacturers and other industries. A typical lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic.
Household Batteries – Batteries Dry Cell:
Batteries cells are alkaline and carbon zinc (9-V, D, C, AA, AAA), mercury-oxide (button, some cylindrical and rectangular), silver oxide and zinc-air (Button), and battery (9 volt, C, AA, coins, buttons, rechargeable). On average, each person in the United States discards eight dry-cell batteries per year.
Lead-based batteries Non-Automotive:
Gel batteries and sealed lead-acid batteries used to power industrial equipment, emergency lighting, and systems alarm. The same recycling process applies to automotive batteries. An automotive store or a local agency may accept waste batteries for recycling.
There are two types of batteries:
(1) primary – those that can not be reused and
(2) secondary is also called "rechargeable" – Those that can be reused.
Battery Facts & Figures:
Recycling and Disposal:
Mercury was removed from certain types batteries, in relation to the "containing mercury and rechargeable batteries Management Act, adopted in 1996.
Recycling batteries keeps heavy metals out of landfills and air. Recycling saves resources because recovered plastic and metals can be used to make new batteries.
Household batteries contribute many potentially hazardous compounds for municipal solid waste stream, including zinc, lead, nickel, alkaline, manganese, cadmium, silver and mercury.
In 1989, 621.2 tons of household batteries were sold in the U.S., which is twice the amount discarded in 1970.
In 1986, 138,000 tons of lead-acid batteries were sold in the U.S.
Regular flashlight batteries can be disposed of waste (in general, some states, like California, have more restrictive rules) although it is best to take them to a recycling center.
Mercuric oxide button batteries and silver oxide, are often collected by jewelers, pharmacies and stores hearing aids that are sold to companies that demand metals.
In 1993, 80 and 95% of automobile batteries were recycled
Consumption:
U.S. to purchase nearly 3 billion dry cell batteries every year to power radios, toys, cellular phones, watches, laptops and portable tools power.
Within a battery, heavy metals react with chemical electrolyte to produce energy from the battery.
Wet cell batteries containing a liquid electrolyte, commonly power automobiles, boats or motorcycles.
Nearly 99 million wet cell lead-acid car batteries are made each year.
A car battery contains 18 pounds of lead and a pound of sulfuric acid.
