WAYS AND METHODS OF PROCESSING ALKALINE AND CARBON-ZINC BATTERIES
In connection with the use of various electrical equipment in our daily life, which requires constant uninterruptible power supply, the question arises about the recycling of such batteries as alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries. This article discusses the chemical composition of alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries, as well as the possible impact of their components on the environment. The method of processing such batteries using special equipment has been determined. This technique allows you to recycle alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries literally in your «garage» if you have a special crushing device that can separate the battery into its constituent components (zinc, cadmium and manganese, steel, as well as paper and plastic). Recycling batteries will reduce the extraction of minerals from the bowels of the Earth, and will also help reduce the cost of manufactured products.
