Mean have substantial amounts of lead to be consumed on lead-acid accumulator product every year.
Lead-acid accumulator, as the main consumer products in the whole world, also becomes topmost lead regenerated resources simultaneously.China
The primary raw material of reviver has more than 80% to be derived from waste and old lead acid accumulator.Lead as a kind of highly toxic heavy metal, from environmental protection
From the point of view of, the recycling to lead in waste and old lead acid accumulator is significant.
The recovery process of lead-acid battery scrap lead cream at this stage is broadly divided into:Pyrometallurgical smelting technique and wet recycling process.
Pyrometallurgical smelting technique can produce the secondary pollutions such as lead dust and sulfur dioxide in heating process, and high energy consumption, utilization rate are low.Wet
Method recovery process useless diachylon desulphurization method the most frequently used at present is with Na2CO3Or NaHCO3For desulfurizing agent, stirring reaction makes it take off
Sulfur, by PbSO4It is converted into PbCO3, then Hydrocerussitum (Ceruse) is obtained to its roasting or electrolysis.Chinese patent literature CN103880630A and
CN103771459A etc. is all using the method, but the method, when adding desulfurizing agent excessive (pH 10), can produce impurity NaPb2
(CO3)2OH;When desulfurizing agent is not enough, have part PbSO again4Cannot desulfurization.Chinese patent literature CN103523820A is using containing
Amino material and the method for carbonaceous material desulfurization, make the desulfurization degree of scrap lead cream reach 99%;Chinese patent literature
It is 1 with the molar ratio of sodium bicarbonate that CN103374657A adopts sodium carbonate:The sulfur method of 2 compound desulfuration solution, makes to give up
The desulfurization degree of lead plaster has reached more than 98.5%.Above sulfur removal technology obtains target product after needing roasting or electrolysis, and flow process is longer,
There is the shortcomings of, high energy consumption high to production equipment requirements, long flow path.
