WHEN THE SYSTEM WILL BE EFFECTIVE ?

• IF A SPENT BATTERY COLLECTION SCHEME COULD BE
  COMBINED WITH SALES OF NEW AUTOMOTIVE SPARE PARTS

12
IT ALLOWS

• MINIMIZATION OF TRANSPORT COSTS and COMPENSATION
  FOR LOW PROFITABILITY OF SPENT BATTERY COLLECTION
• ENSURES ENVIRONMENTALY SOUND DISPOSAL OF SPENT
  LEAD ACID BATTERIES, ESPECIALLY THE ELECTROLYTE

DEFICIENCY OF LEAD SCRAP WAS COMPENSATED

• Free controlled resources from other Federal
  Districts
• Waste from battery and cable production plants
• Cable scrap and partly automotive battery scrap

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

• CENTRAL
• Increase production at Rjazzvetmet plant
• NORTH-WESTERN
• Build new 12,600 t Pb/year Smelter
• SOUTHERN
• Increase ELECTROZINK production
• PRIVOLJSKY
• Build new 21,600 t Pb/year Smelter

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

• URAL
• Use 3,700 t scrap Pb from Privoljsky region
• SIBERIAN
• Build new 17,400 t Pb/year Smelter
• FAR EASTERN
• Start battery recycling at Dallpolimetals

PREPARATION OF BATTERY SCRAP FOR RECYCLING

• USE BATTERY BREAKERS
• To crush battery and separate plastic, paste,
  grid metal and waste organic fractions.
• PASTE DESULPHURIZATION
