Cell batteries are very common things in our lives, they can provide power to our various tools, such as flashlights, cameras and so on. Of course, cell batteries have a lifespan, especially if the zinc-nickel cell batteries installed in the remote control are used up and cannot be recharged, they must be treated as waste cell batteries. However, the casual disposal of waste cell batteries will cause very serious heavy metal pollution, making the soil unusable. For this reason, how to deal with waste cell batteries has become a question and a problem for many people.

1. Reuse:

It is a waste to throw away the used cell batteries on electric shavers and toy cars. You’d better put these cell batteries into the TV remote control for reuse, because the remote control does not require a lot of voltage, and even used cell batteries are enough for remote control. The device has been in use for a while. Make art: There are many talented people on the Internet who use waste cell batteries to make various shapes of decorations. You can also imitate various works of art made from bullet casings, because the shape of bullet casings and cell batteries is similar.

2. Make collectibles:

Many people have a hobby of collecting cell batteries. From the very old cell batteries at the beginning to the new brands, they all collect, display various styles of cell batteries, label them, and indicate that they are from Which appliance was removed, it is also a good memory many years later.

3. As classified garbage:

In communities, schools and other places, there are garbage bins specially designed to recycle cell batteries. Generally, such garbage bins have only one small hole, which can only allow cell batteries to pass through. Other garbage cannot be stuffed in. If you are really too lazy to get these cell batteries, It can be put directly into the special trash can.

4. Industrial processing:

Waste cell batteries can be processed industrially. The general method is heat treatment. By placing the cell batteries in a high temperature environment, mercury and other toxic components will evaporate, which can not only detoxify the cell batteries, but also recover the metal components. However, this method is not suitable for individuals to implement by themselves, and heating the cell batteries can easily cause explosions.

In addition, there are 4 main treatment methods for waste cell batteries in China, manual sorting, dry method, wet method and dry-wet method. The manual sorting and recycling method is to classify the recycled waste dry cell batteries first, and manually sort out carbon rods, copper, caps, zinc skins and various residues, and classify and treat them with corresponding methods. The method is simple and easy to implement, but it uses a lot of labor and has poor economic benefits. The so-called dry method, also known as the smoke method or the fire method, is to classify and screen the waste dry cell batteries. After crushing, they are roasted at a temperature of 600-800 degrees in a roasting furnace. The discharged gas is condensed to extract mercury, and then roasted. The residue is put into the rotary kiln and fired at a low temperature of 1100-1300 degrees, zinc oxide is recovered from the flue gas, and manganese and iron are recovered from the residue.

With the continuous strengthening of people's awareness of environmental protection, we pay more and more attention to some of the possible hazards caused by dry cell batteries, so we have thought of many ways to avoid such environmental hazards. Although there is no electricity in dry cell batteries, the metal on them can still be recycled. In addition, some new dry cell batteries adopt a new design, basically without mercury metal elements, and the impact and harm to the environment are very low. Batteries can also be gradually degraded in the natural environment with changes in the natural environment.
