Battery Recycling Technology

Gravita is committed to the employment of environment friendly technologies in our solutions for the used Lead-Acid Battery Recycling and Battery Manufacturing Industries, covering Secondary Lead Smelting, Lead Refining, Lead Alloying & Lead Oxides Manufacturing and Lead Pollution Control.

Our Battery Recycling Plant employ pyrometallurgical processes. Typically, in pyrometallurgical Secondary Lead Smelting, Lead Bearing Battery Materials are charged into a furnace together with appropriate fluxes & reductants, drosses, returning slags and process dusts for smelting. Reduction of Lead bearing material to crude Soft/Antimonial Lead takes place along with the formation of Lead bearing slag. The slag may be collected and smelted in a separate slag campaign in the same or another furnace. Mostly Blast / Tilting Rotary Furnaces are used, either singly or in different combinations, for single/multi stage smelting. The process employed, furnace combination, fluxes, reductants etc. are finalized taking into account the required plant capacity, required product mix, pollution control plant and environmental concerns, the desired level of flexibility in plant operation and the composition of available battery scrap. Kettle furnaces are used for refining and alloying operations.

Pyrometallurgical processes have been the most widely used for Lead recycling. In a comparison with some other technologically more complex processes, the pyrometallurgical process scores high on parameters like low capital & lifecycle costs and requirement of highly skilled manpower, economic viability of a range of capacities and relatively low core electrical power requirements, among many others. The use of modern pollution control technologies and design ensures environmental compliance. Smaller scale Battery Recycling Plant are a more economically and environmentally viable alternative to large-scale units for many reasons, particularly for developing and small market areas/countries.

Our well-designed blast/tilting Rotary Furnaces, integrated with modern accessories and pollution control equipment form the core of our Battery Recycling Plant, which have proven to be technically and economically viable for a range of capacities, while showing good compliance with environmental standards.
 

Latest Technology For Lead Recycling

GBF Blast Furnaces: We have designed and developed a special blast furnace, the GBF (patent pending), for Secondary Lead Smelting which combines the features of low set-up and operating costs, high process efficiency, low maintenance requirements due to no moving parts and user-friendly features. This furnace can achieve production levels of up to 12 tonnes/day.

Rotary Furnaces

Rotary Furnaces have a variety of fitment options, optional tilting mechanisms, a simple, reliable and robust design and display good operating/efficiency characteristics.

 
Lead Pollution Control: Company has developed advanced designs and configurations for pollution control solutions to a wide variety of needs. Gravita’s air pollution control Plant employs modern technology and exceed the local environmental requirements at our various project sites.
