INDIA

OUR MAJOR BUSINESS VERTICALS… Turnkey Projects Lead Recycling, Smelting and Refining Plants: End to End Solutions Process & Pollution control Technology Technical Consultancy to establish Lead Battery Recycling Projects Manufacturing Operations Lead Smelting, Refining, Alloying, Oxides (LSO, Red Lead & Litharge) International Business Import & Mercantile export of Lead Raw Materials & finished Products ” Continuous R & D with Operational Excellence creates difference ”

WHY LEAD RECYCLING… ? Lead Battery Scrap is a Hazardous waste and unsafe disposal creates Environmental / Health problems. Careful Recycling is essential, beneficial & cost effective in comparison to its safe disposal cost. Secondary Production of Lead (Recycling) from Scrap results in less Solid Wastes, uses less energy & reduces the consumption of minerals resources compared to the Lead Production from Ores.

BATTERY RECYCLING CYCLE… Lead is the 5th most widely used Metal on earth Lead has highest rate of recycling among all Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals Lead is only metal on earth which retains its 100% Chemical & Physical properties, irrespective of any number of recycling Worldwide production of secondary Lead has increased substantially in the past decade. USED BATTERY END USER NEW BATTERY ACID FOR NEUTRALIZATION PLASTIC LEAD METAL IN GRIDS Calcium Sulphate PLASTIC PELLETS LEAD INGOTS NEW COVERS & CASES NEW GRIDS LEAD OXIDES

TYPICAL COMPOSITION OF LEAD-ACID BATTERY SCRAP… Positive plate pack Electrolyte-tight seaing ring Valve adapter and valve Grid plate Negative pole Positive cell connection Positive plate Negative cell connection Negative Plate Negative plate pack Micro porous separator Component by weight Percent Metallic Lead 30 Lead sulphates/oxides 45 Plastic 7 Acid 15 Residuals 3 TOTAL 100

CONSUMPTION SEGMENTATION BATTERIES Emerging demand of UPS Invertors Power systems in Telecomm, Automobile & Other fields ROLLED AND EXTRUDED PRODUCTS PIGMENTS & CHEMICALS AMMUNITION & SHOTS MISCELLANEOUS ALLOYS CABLE SHEATHING ” The total Lead metal consumption in batteries has increased in the past decade whereas the use in paints has decreased ”

PROCESS FLOW CHART

REFINED LEAD / PURE LEAD…* Elements  Composition in % Antimony (Sb) 0.001% (max) Arsenic (As) Tin (Sn) Copper  (Cu) Bismuth (Bi) 0.025% (max) Iron (Fe) Nickel (Ni) Silver (Ag) 0.003% (max) Zinc (Zn) Calcium (Ca) 0.0005% (max) Sulphur (S) Aluminum (Al) Lead (Pb) 99.970% (min) * Typical composition as per LME standards

ENVIRONMENT… Most critical part of ‘Lead Recycling Operation’ is of Air Pollution Control Lead Recycling Plants should be specifically designed to meet specific norms of particular country’s guide-line All Environmental Standards, Which has serious concern in Lead Smelting Operations are: Ambient Air Standard Stack Emission Standard Effluent Discharge Standard Solid Waste Disposal Limits Noise Levels Occupational Exposure of work force

TREATMENT SYSTEMS… The effective Pollution Control Equipments consist of the following :  Dust Collector  Cyclone  Cooling Tower  Bag House  Wet-Scrubber  Chimney 16

SUMMERY … Lead Acid Battery Scrap Recycling is essential for mankind as well as for Industry survival Recent technological deployments made Lead Battery Scrap Recycling Operations as Environment-friendly “ Increasing Environmental Awareness makes this operation more professional & technical, which finally leads to highly economic viability ”
