https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/16/17/5882 Recovery of Pure Lead-Tin Alloy from Recycling Spent Lead-Acid Batteries. This paper aims to present an innovative method for the fire refining of lead, which enables the retention of tin contained in lead from recycled lead-acid batteries. The proposed method uses aluminium scrap to remove impurities from the lead, virtually leaving all of the tin in it. #recycling #batteries #science #sustainability #battery #lead #recyclingLead #CircularEconomy

Lead grid from spent lead-acid batteries contains significant amounts of tin and antimony. This paper presents an innovative method of pyro-refining lead using metallic aluminum and calcium to purify the lead from contaminants while retaining a higher amount of tin than in the traditional process. #recycling #batteries #science #sustainability #battery #lead #recyclingLead #CircularEconomy

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11661-025-07813-5 Analysis of the Lead Refining Method Using Aluminum. The purpose of this study was to investigate the processes occurring during the refining of lead with aluminum, by analyzing and studying ternary Pb-(M)-Al systems, where M is one of the following metals: Sb, As, Se, Cu or Ni, which are the main contaminants of secondary lead from recycling waste lead-acid batteries. #recycling #batteries #science #sustainability #battery #lead #recyclingLead #CircularEconomy

#RecyclingLead for U.S. Car Batteries Is #Poisoning People

By Peter S. Goodman, Will Fitzgibbon and Samuel Granados Visuals by Finbarr O’Reilly and Carmen Abd Ali
Nov. 18, 2025

Excerpt: "The #AutoIndustry touts #BatteryRecycling as an environmental success story. Lead from old batteries, when recycled cleanly and safely, can be melted down and reused again and again with minimal pollution.

"But companies have rejected proposals to use only lead that is certified as safely produced. Automakers have excluded lead from their #environmental policies.
Battery makers rely on the assurances of trading companies that lead is recycled cleanly. These intermediaries rely on perfunctory audits that make recommendations, not demands.

"The industry, in effect, built a global supply system in which everyone involved can say someone else is responsible for oversight.

"#Nigeria, the economic engine of West Africa, is among the fastest-growing sources of recycled lead for American companies."
