The hazards of waste battery
Waste battery may be small, damage Queshen big. However, due to pollution, waste battery like garbage, air and water pollution, as could any sensory feel it has great hidden, so they did not receive due attention. At present, China has become the production and consumption of battery power, battery waste pollution is an urgent need to address a major environmental problem. On the size and weight, the used battery in domestic waste is negligible, but its harmful effects is very large, battery containing mercury, cadmium, lead and heavy Dell Vostro A860 battery metals. Has a strong toxicity of mercury, lead can cause neurological disorders, nephritis, etc.; cadmium major cause renal damage and bone disease – osteoporosis, osteomalacia and fracture. If the battery waste mixed with domestic waste in the landfill, over time, seepage of heavy metals could contaminate groundwater and soil.
For a long time, China in the production of dry battery, it is necessary to join a toxic substance — mercury or mercury compounds. China’s alkaline battery in the mercury content of 1 to 5%, 0.025% neutral dry-cell battery, dry battery every year for the production of dozens of tons of mercury amounted to much. Mercury is our so-called “Mercury.” Mercury and mercury compounds are toxic, scientists found that mercury has obvious neurotoxicity, in addition to the endocrine system, immune system, Dell Studio 17 battery also have adverse effects. The 20th century took place 50 years in Japan shocked the world of public nuisance disease – Minamata disease is due to mercury pollution.
More than 40 years ago in southern Kyushu in Japan, a coastal town – Minamata town, the local population there is a strange disease. Patients began to slurred speech, unsteady gait, limb paralysis, the final body cramps, mental disorders, died of torture in pain. Later, infected with diseases more and more people, even cats and birds have experienced the same symptoms. Later, medical workers and marine fish from the deceased’s body found in the body of toxic methylmercury, proved that people eating contaminated Dell XPS M1310 battery fish poisoning. After investigation, the original local industrial companies in Japan nitrogenous fertilizer to perennial Minamata Bay mercury-containing waste water discharged to sea by mercury pollution, the local fishing seafood contain high concentrations of methylmercury.
Minamata Bay in order to restore the ecological environment, the Japanese government has spent 14 years invested 485 billion yen, the Minamata Bay mercury sediment dig deep 4 m, all clear. Meanwhile, in Minamata Bay, the entrance to the establishment of a quarantine Dell Vostro 1510 battery network will be contaminated within the Deep Bay fish were all caught in landfills. Who have witnessed the outbreak of Minamata disease Minamata, Japan, the Mayor Masazumi Yoshii said with emotion: “After nearly half a century of unremitting efforts, we have finally from the shadow of Minamata disease to come out, and is building a new city of Minamata. I hope that the whole world learned the lessons of Minamata disease in Japan, out of ignorance of the mode of production, the implementation of civilized mode of production. ”
This shows that the used battery on the environment and harm the human body is far more than we imagined, random discarded battery, not only pollute the environment, endanger human health, and waste of resources. With an annual production of 10 billion battery a full year will have to consume 156,000 tons of zinc, 226,000 tons of manganese dioxide, 2080 tons of copper, 27,000 tons of zinc chloride, Dell XPS M1730 battery ammonium chloride, 79,000 tons, 43,000 tons carbon rod. Therefore, the used battery for recycling, benefits the country, it is imperative. This requires people to find ways to solve the pollution of waste battery.
