Lead-acid batteries from the invention so far, more than 150 years of history. In the oil supply to power had become the trend for oil today, this advertised to provide “green energy” industry, so why give the impression that “pollution-prone,” the black image?
“A major reason is the battery industry ‘small, scattered, chaotic’ phenomenon is very serious.” Zhejiang Battery Industry Association, the Hong Kong-listed laptop battery business day to day’s Chairman, Zhang Ren told reporters.
Zhang Tian Ren Jieshao, lead-acid battery pollution, mainly in two areas of production and recycling. There will lead dust production processes, recycling of wastewater containing lead will be part of waste. Can be engaged on the day in terms of production processes, pollution is controlled, “for example, used in the production of enclosed space and fully automated equipment, we can solve 80% to 90% of the pollution problem.”
However, many small battery factory and will not do. Especially in the recovery of part, the following scene in a number of small workshops in the recurring: the workers will waste the battery apart, discarded one of sulfuric acid, and the stereotype will be thrown into the furnace, the fire burning in the black and gray four dispersion.
A stock battery business camel shares an executive also said that part of the battery is neither bear the environmental costs of small plants, and drilling tax loopholes, and a judge will have to pay the entire industry.
“Industry regulation is inevitable, but come early.” Ren said Zhang Tian. He estimated that the plant with no license, the national lead-acid battery company close to 3,000, while the U.S. only about 30, but both the production of lead-acid battery is the same.
U.S. lead-acid battery industry as a high concentration of large-scale enterprises, to adopt advanced technology and equipment, so it is excluded from the major sources of pollution outside. Obama has announced funding billions of dollars for the next generation of battery technology research and development, part of which specifically support the development of lead-acid laptop batteries.
