Nowadays, dry batteries are non-mercury alkaline batteries, which meet the national standard, so they can be thrown away as household garbage, and will not increase the burden on the environment. If you collect and dispose of them, they will be harmful to the environment.
If it is lead batteries, rechargeable batteries, etc., or should be handed over to a professional recycling station.
Question 2: How to properly dispose of used batteries The growing amount of waste production is overloading our planet, and the proliferation of public health hazards and garbage sieges has long been a wake-up call for us. How to achieve harmlessness, minimization and resourcefulness has become a top priority. Misplaced resources is the people's re-conceptualization of garbage in recent years. The implementation of garbage classification will enable the recycling of garbage waste to achieve the best use of waste into treasure.
In terms of volume and weight, waste batteries in domestic waste is insignificant, but it is very harmful, the battery contains mercury, cadmium, lead and other heavy metal substances. Mercury has a strong toxicity, lead can cause nervous disorders, nephritis, etc.; cadmium mainly caused by kidney damage and bone disease-osteoporosis, chondromalacia and fractures. If the waste battery mixed into the domestic waste together with the landfill, over time, miserable out of heavy metals may pollute groundwater and soil
Battery use in our lives is rapidly increasing, has penetrated into every corner of our life and work. walkman, beeper, cell phones, cameras, calculators. At present, the national consumption of batteries in about 7 billion. It is predicted that by the year 2000, the battery consumption of beepers alone will reach 1.55 billion. If these batteries are not properly disposed of, they will directly or indirectly jeopardize people's health. The implementation and advocacy of waste battery classification and collection activities for more and more people recognize, and get more and more attention, support and participation - rather than scattered pollution, rather than centralized management.
Starting from me, starting from every little thing around us is our motto. Caring for the environment around us and participating in the classification and recycling of waste batteries is the responsibility and obligation of each and every one of us. Individual behavior may be insignificant, but the power of each of us united, it will be enough to raise a civilization, a civilization with the natural **** life, a sustainable development of civilization.
First, the composition of the battery: dry batteries, rechargeable batteries composition: zinc skin (tin), carbon rods, mercury, sulfate, copper cap; storage batteries to lead compounds. Example: 1 waste zinc-manganese battery composition, weight 70 grams or so, of which 5.2 grams of carbon rods, zinc skin 7.0 grams, 25 grams of manganese powder, 0.5 grams of copper cap, and other 32 grams.
Second, the hazards of waste batteries: the hazards of waste batteries are mainly concentrated in the small amount of heavy metals contained in them, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and so on. These toxic substances through various ways into the body, long-term accumulation is difficult to exclude, damage to the nervous system, hematopoietic function and bone, and can even cause cancer. Lead: nervous system (neurasthenia, numbness of hands and feet), digestive system (indigestion, abdominal cramps), blood poisoning and other lesions. Mercury: Altered mental status is a major symptom of mercury poisoning. Rapid pulse, muscle tremors, lesions in the mouth and digestive system. Cadmium and manganese: mainly jeopardize the nervous system. Third, the pathway of waste battery pollution of the environment: the constituent materials of these batteries in the use of the process, is sealed inside the battery shell, and will not have an impact on the environment. However, after long-term mechanical wear and corrosion, making the internal heavy metals and acids and alkalis leak out into the soil or water, will enter the human food chain through various ways. The process is briefly described as follows: pool soil microorganisms animal cycle dust crops food human body nerve deposition morbidity
Other water sources plant food digestion organisms ingested from the environment of heavy metals can be biomagnification through the food chain, step by step in the higher level of biological enrichment of thousands of, and then through the food into the human body, the accumulation of chronic poisoning caused by the accumulation in certain organs. Japan's water (people plus Wu) disease is a typical case of mercury poisoning. Fourth, used batteries harm other performance: the world's domestic waste disposal is mainly sanitary landfills, composting and incineration of three ways, mixed into the domestic waste of waste batteries in the three processes of pollution is reflected in: landfills: used batteries of heavy metals through the role of leaching pollution of water and soil. Incineration: used batteries at high temperatures, corrosion equipment, some heavy metals in the incinerator volatilization in the fly ash, resulting in atmospheric pollution; incinerator bottom heavy metal accumulation, to the resulting ash pollution. Composting: the heavy metal content of waste batteries is high, resulting in a decline in the quality of compost. Reuse: generally used reflective furnace pyrometallurgical method, although the process is easy to master but the recovery rate of only 82%, the rest of the lead in the form of gas and dust, while the smelting process of sulfur dioxide will enter the air, resulting in secondary pollution, directly endangering the health of the operating workers
Hazards of waste batteries: abandoned in nature battery mercury will slowly overflow from the battery into the soil or water sources, and then enter the human body through crops, damaging the human kidneys. In the microbial ...... >>
Question 3: What to do with used batteries at home, there are no recycling station places around home! First praise up, there are innovative ideas, if you do a public good
Question 4: how to deal with waste batteries at home Dear, your behavior is very right Oh, the battery is under but a lot of pollution. You can go to the street to find a dumpster ah, now many dumpsters have a special collection of waste batteries. Hey, now the social recycling is not perfect we will work a little harder for a better environment to make their own efforts. Pro, I wish you every day happy ha
Question 5: There are a lot of waste small batteries at home, how do we deal with it? Directly discarded? First, to prevent and control from the source, the implementation of mercury-free batteries. China Light Industry Council, the former State Environmental Protection Administration, the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision and other nine ministries and bureaus in December 31, 1997 jointly issued "on the limitation of the mercury content of battery products," the requirements of January 1, 2002 to prohibit the domestic production and distribution of batteries with mercury content of more than 0.025% of the weight of the battery to January 1, 2006 to prohibit domestic production and distribution of batteries with mercury content of more than 0.0001% of the weight of the battery to January 1, 2006 to prohibit the production of mercury content of more than 0.0001% of the weight of the battery. By January 1, 2006, the domestic production and distribution of alkaline zinc-manganese batteries with mercury content greater than 0.0001% by weight was banned. Since the release of the battery "Mercury Order", China's battery companies to actively innovate the production process, improve the raw material formula, the current production of regular battery manufacturers have basically realized the battery mercury-free.
Second, the national policy does not encourage the centralized collection of waste batteries. The former State Environmental Protection Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and other five ministries and bureaus in October 9, 2003 jointly issued the "waste battery pollution prevention and control of technology policy" stipulates that: At present, in the absence of effective recycling of the technological and economic conditions, do not encourage the centralized collection of the waste of disposable batteries have reached the national requirements of low-mercury or non-mercury. In addition, the National List of Hazardous Wastes, jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the National Development and Reform Commission on June 6, 2008, stipulates that waste nickel-cadmium batteries and mercuric oxide batteries generated in the daily life of households can be managed without being classified as hazardous wastes. The above provisions are the requirements after scientific proof by relevant state departments and experts. Waste batteries can not be unified recycling treatment, the public can put the waste batteries scattered into the official domestic garbage collection bins, and domestic garbage into the city's regular domestic landfill, will not cause environmental pollution.
Third, the commonly used dry cell battery pollutants are mostly solid, most of the harmful substances in the battery or discarded into the environment is insoluble, the pollutants from the internal migration to the environment or diffusion in the environment is a very slow process, especially mercury. Therefore, the scope and extent of pollution is limited. As early as in the early 80's, the Japan Battery Industry Association had commissioned Fukuoka University to conduct a 15-year study on the migration pattern of mercury in waste batteries. They used different landfill methods to fill waste zinc-manganese, alkaline zinc-manganese, mercuric oxide and other batteries in different landfill columns, monitored the mercury content in the leachate and air inside the landfill columns as well as the mercury concentration in the air when the landfill columns were dismantled, and carried out a comparative analysis, and the amount of mercury migrating with the leakage liquid in the experimental columns in the past 10 years accounted for only 0.08%-0.1% of the total amount of mercury, and the amount of mercury diffusing through the atmosphere accounted for only 0.05%-0.1% of the total amount of mercury. 0.05%-0.1% of the total mercury. The environmental impact of mercury in waste batteries in landfills is not as serious as some media publicity.
Question 6: How to deal with waste batteries at home, just a few steps can be turned into treasure Waste batteries into treasure
Waste batteries from the hands of the students were poured into the waste battery recycling bucket.
"I'm really happy to participate in this environmental activity because I know that these batteries are no longer homeless like before, and they can be turned into treasures!" Xiaoyuan Middle School sophomore Au said excitedly to reporters. In yesterday's "World Earth Day" this special day, by the Guangzhou Municipal Environmental Protection and Education Center and other jointly sponsored the "recycling of waste batteries environmental protection action" was officially launched.
According to reports, the recycling of the battery action with the previous biggest difference is that the recovery of waste batteries will no longer be handed over to the sanitation department for landfill disposal, but sent to the Panyu District, a waste waste recycling company after crushing, sorting and forging, into a useful metal reuse. This marks an important shift in the recycling of waste batteries in Guangzhou from "alkali harm" to "resource".
The "recycling of waste batteries environmental action" will first be carried out in the city's schools, the first batch of pilot selected in the Haizhu District, 100 schools, and then to the community to spread, and gradually throughout the city. Responsible for the recycling of waste batteries, Panyu District, a waste waste recycling company will also be in the above areas of long-term fixed set of specialized waste battery recycling barrels, and sent dozens of cars to recycle the public discarded waste batteries.
According to the Panyu District, a recycling treatment company chief engineer Chen Guoan introduction, to a retail price of 4 yuan of batteries, for example, after the recovery of the value of useful metals, can reach 3.2 yuan, equivalent to 80% of the cost of the battery. According to reports, the current annual consumption of batteries in Guangzhou is about 500 million, equivalent to about 2,500 tons, 80% of which are discarded after use.
Question 7: Is waste battery harmful to the environment? Why? That home used up the battery where to throw, how to dispose of it? Batteries contain lead, some also contain mercury, lead and mercury are heavy metals, will pollute the environment. You can throw them in a separate trash can, and some of the substances inside the batteries can be recycled, such as graphite.
Question 8: In general, how to deal with waste batteries? The environment will not be polluted Collected, given to the special collection of batteries in the place. For example, some of the garbage cans in the middle of a small box specializing in recycling batteries. Some supermarkets also have collection boxes at the counter. Some neighborhood gatehouse also have to collect.
Question 9: How do I dispose of used dry cell batteries? I live in the school, the school has a fee for the old battery recycling box, are thrown there.
Batteries can not be thrown, or will cause heavy metal pollution. If you are at home, go to the supermarket near your home to see, now generally larger supermarkets such as Carrefour will set up fee old battery recycling box.
