Because about 80% of the lead consumed in the United States is for use in lead—acid batteries, most recycled lead derives from this source of scrap. More than 95% of the lead is reclaimed. Hence, the bulk of the recycling industry is centered on the processing of lead battery scrap. [Pg.48]

The plates are dried and cured under controlled temperature and humidity conditions producing no wastewater or particulate emissions. Cured plates are sent to a three-process operation that involves manual separation of the plates, stacking them with non-conducting separators, and the welding on of metallic lead battery leads (pronounced leeds ) and lead terminals. The plates are then assembled Into battery cases. [Pg.82]

Lead batteries are the storage batteries most widely used at present. This is readily explained by their low price, high reliability, and good performance. Their cycle life is a few hundred charge-discharge cycles, and for some cell types, even more than 1000 cycles. [Pg.353]

Blood lead levels, urinary lead levels, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine clearance (CCT), and NAG were measured in 158 male and 51 female workers in a lead battery factory or a lead smelting plant in Japan (Ong et al. 1987). Controls consisted of 30 professional and laboratory staff members with no history of renal disease or lead exposure. The length of exposure to lead averaged 10.8 8.0 years with a range of 1-36 years. Exposure levels were not available, but indicators of lead body burden in the exposed workers were PbB level = 3.0-80.0 pg/dL and urinary lead level =... [Pg.66]

Certain emergent aquatic plants, especially hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) and duckweed (Lemna obscura), removed 97 to 98% of all soluble lead from solution in the vicinity of a lead battery site in Tampa, Florida, suggesting that phytoremediation may be feasible as the basis of a lead removal technology (Gallardo et al. 1999).

Advances in the past few decades have improved car battery technology immensely. Many lead batteries currently manufactured are labeled as maintenance free. This refers to the fact that the acid level in them does not have to be checked. The addition of water to a lead battery is necessary because the charging process causes water to undergo electrolysis. This process creates... [Pg.187]
