How to deal with used batteries?


Battery is one of the most commonly used in daily life goods, cell phones, cameras, alarm clock, doorbell, remote control, etc., are inseparable from the battery. "My family kept a festival than a dozen used batteries, fearing random throw will pollute the environment, but can not find collection points, how to do it?" Recently, who lives in the village of happiness Sun told reporters, do not know how to properly handle home used batteries.

Waste battery recycling bins Hard to Find

"You see, so many used batteries, how to do it? Threw fear pollution of the environment, do not throw it and do not know how to deal with, is really a problem." Speaking of the Sun a feeling annoyed.

According to Mr. Sun introduced a lot of used batteries at home, mainly from children's toys, remote control, razors and other battery models are on the 1st, 5th, 7th. Considering the used batteries will pollute the environment, Sun will be saved in a used batteries together, such as when the family went to the mall, directly to the battery into waste battery recycling bins inside the mall. But most recently, Sun found waste battery recycling bins in some shopping malls are gone, many people do not know where these batteries the throw.

Interview, the reporter learned that the Sun so there really a lot of public concern, many environmentally conscious people consciously collect used batteries, avoid polluting the environment cause harm to humans.


Batteries and cell phone batteries to be treated separately
It is understood that the State Environmental Protection Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have issued the "Waste Battery pollution control technology policy" clearly states that the public commonly used 5, 7 disposable batteries do not need to be recycled, but rechargeable batteries and button-type batteries polluted heavy, must focus on recycling by the manufacturer, not the people carelessly throw away.
According to professionals, if it is generally on the 5th or the 1st battery can be processed directly and garbage together, focusing on the recovery of the nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, lithium batteries, including mobile phone batteries, rechargeable batteries, batteries, car electric vehicle batteries (bottles) and the like. If the people have such a waste battery recycling and the manufacturer can contact, or contact the environmental protection department. Another public buy time to see whether the battery "mercury" logo.

When reporters visited the market learned that many big brands are marked "mercury-free alkaline battery" or the word "mercury-free super-carbon batteries" on the battery packaging, while the surface of some cells did not otherwise specified . According to state regulations, if there will be green, "China Environmental Label" on the battery packaging, which is through the Environmental Protection Department of Environmental Certification Center of the mark, with the logo of the battery is generally considered to be environmentally friendly batteries, these batteries can be used and garbage into the processed together.

In addition to household waste batteries directly with household waste, but the reporter also learned that in life there are many recycling of batteries is a must. Such as electric vehicles commonly used lead-acid batteries, used in laptops and other nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled, we can consult the electric car and computer vendors.

The public is best not to arbitrarily destroy dry appearance package, otherwise easily lead to electrolyte leakage and corrosion around the items. Such as alkaline batteries, the battery electrolyte with a strongly basic electrolyte; another example lithium batteries, the electrolyte solution contains an organic solvent. In addition, waste batteries if flooding over, there will be some contamination, be careful not to just throw the battery farmland and humid place.

December 26, 2014, the US electric carmaker Tesla released an updated version of the discontinued two years ago, the first generation model Roadster, the mileage of 644 km, 60% higher than the original.   Advances in battery technology to enhance the performance of the Tesla product, after Roadster Mileage is 393 km. Tesla CEO Musk said Tesla high-performance graphene battery, compared to the current capacity increase of nearly 70 percent. British scientists have invented graphene after 10 years, the application of the battery with great breakthrough. In early December, the Western media reported that Spain and the Spanish company Graphenano Cordoba University to develop graphene battery, a charging time of just eight minutes, can travel 1000 km. It is graphene researchers called "super cell." "We still understand the situation, the specific situation in Spain is proving such a battery, if this is confirmed, it is indeed a revolutionary c

When natural gas, coal, oil and other non-renewable resources, frequent emergency, energy is increasingly becoming a bottleneck for social development, the solar,wind and other renewable resources has become a new driving force for economic development. At the G20 summit, renewable energy issues, environmental issues will become the object of world leaders concerned, and as the organizer of China is more practical action to demonstrate its adherence to the concept of environmental protection,  solar power energy storage  technology also achieve a breakthrough, and further summit environmentally friendly match. Solar energy battery storage in the near future will occupy an important position in the world energy consumption, not only to replace part of conventional energy sources, and will be the subject of the world's energy supply. By 2030, renewable energy in the total energy mix accounted for more than 30%, while the proportion of solar battery storage in the world's tota

In addition, energy storage research also has multiple problems, such as foam cells, flow batteries to a variety of chemical materials, no one knows which technology will attract the most funds and research heat. Lux Research reports that the energy storage investment of more than 40 billion US dollars,  such as  solar power generator  and wind power,  the development of next-generation batteries, non-lithium-ion battery startups in the past eight years, an average of only 4 million funds, Tesla investment in lithium-ion battery factory Gigafactory invested 5 billion US dollars . R & D new battery material threshold is very high, just to build a small production line to study the details into production, it is necessary to 500 million US dollars, car manufacturers may also take several years to test the new battery system before deciding whether to purchase, if Your company has only $ 5 million in capital a year, making it hard to invest $ 500 million in manufacturing.
