Introduction of waste battery pollute the environment
First, A battery made up of: battery, rechargeable battery, composition: zinc skin (metal), carbon rod, mercury, sulfuric acid compounds, copper cap; battery with lead-based compounds. For example: 1, the composition of waste zinc-manganese battery, weighing 70 grams, of which carbon rod 5.2 grams, 7.0 grams of zinc skin, manganese powder 25 grams, 0.5 gram of copper cap, the other 32 grams Dell Latitude D410 battery.
Second, the danger of used battery: hazards of waste battery mainly concentrated in a small amount of heavy metals contained in them, such as lead, mercury, cadmium. These toxic substances enter the body through various means, long-term savings and difficult to remove, damage to the nervous system, hematopoietic function and bone, and even can cause cancer. Lead: nervous system (nerve weakness, numbness of hand-foot), digestive system (dyspepsia, abdominal cramps), blood poisoning and other diseases. Mercury: Mental state of change is one of the major symptoms of Dell Vostro A840 battery mercury poisoning. Pulse speed, muscle vibration, mouth and digestive system diseases. Cadmium, manganese: The main harm the nervous system. 3, used battery polluting ways: the material composition of these battery during use, is sealed inside the battery shell and does not affect the environment. However, after a long-term mechanical wear and corrosion, making the internal leakage of Dell Studio 1737 battery heavy metals and acid-base and so on out into the soil or water, it will through a variety of ways to enter the human food chain. Process summarized as follows: Pool microbial food crops, animals, circulating dust deposition of human neurological disease.
Third, Other water sources, bio-digestion of plant food intake of heavy metals from the environment can be through the food chain biomagnification, grade by grade in the higher organisms tens of thousands of land-rich product, and then enter the human body through food, and in some organs savings cause chronic poisoning. Japan’s water (one plus Wu) disease is a typical case of Dell Vostro 1520 battery mercury poisoning. Fourth, the performance of used battery against the other: the world’s main municipal solid waste sanitary landfill, composting and incineration of three ways, mixed with garbage of used battery in these three roles in the process of pollution is reflected in: landfill: waste the role of the battery of heavy metal pollution of water bodies through leachate and soil. Incineration: waste battery in high temperature, corrosive, some heavy metals in the incinerator fly ash in volatile, causing atmospheric pollution; incineration bottom heavy metal accumulation, to the ash generated by pollution. Composting: scrap battery high content of heavy metals, resulting in lower quality compost. Re-use: general use of reflective fire metallurgy, process while easy to master, but the Dell Inspiron E1705 battery recovery rate is only 82%, the rest of the lead in the form of gas and dust appear at the same time refining the process of sulfur dioxide into the air, causing secondary pollution, direct endanger the health of workers operate.
