Inappropriate recycling operations release considerable amounts of lead particles and fumes emitted into the air, deposited onto soil, water bodies and other surfaces, with both environment and human health negative impacts. Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector.
Thelithium-ion battery has emerged as the most serious contender for dethroning the lead-acid battery. Lithium-ion batteries are on the other end of the energy density scale from lead-acid batteries. They have the highest energy to volume and energy to weight ratio of the major types of secondary battery.
Lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid and large amounts of lead. The acid is extremely corrosive and is also a good carrier for soluble lead and lead particulate. Lead is a highly toxic metal that produces a range of adverse health effects particularly in young children.
While they don't cite base capacity costs for lithium-ion batteries versus lead-acid batteries, they do note in a presentation that a lead-acid batterycan be replaced by a lithium-ion battery with as little as 60% of the same capacity:
The key to this revolution has been the development of affordable batteries with much greater energy density. This new generation of batteriesthreatens to end the lengthy reign of the lead-acid battery. But consumers could be forgiven for being confused about the many different battery types vying for market share in this exciting new future.
From Vietnamese villages to the backstreets of Chinese megacities, from Roma camps in Kosovo to workshops in the shantytowns of Africa, from forest clearings in Bangladesh to giant smelters in India, the unsafe recycling of lead batteries, mostly from automobiles, is a lethal and growing scar on the planet.
