Shiv Shakti Metals has emerged as a trailblazer in the realm of non-ferrous recycling, with a notable emphasis on lead scrap recycling. Lead, a versatile and widely used metal, poses significant environmental risks if not handled properly. Shiv Shakti Metals has taken the reins in mitigating these risks by pioneering innovative lead scrap recycling processes. By collecting and sorting lead-acid batteries, ammunition, and other lead-containing materials, the company ensures the responsible management of this toxic metal. Through a combination of mechanical and chemical processes, Shiv Shakti Metals breaks down lead scrap into its constituent elements, carefully separating lead from contaminants like sulfuric acid and plastics. The purified lead is then melted and cast into ingots, ready for reuse in various applications, including the manufacture of new batteries, radiation shielding, and pigments. By closing the loop on lead production, Shiv Shakti Metals significantly reduces the environmental impacts associated with primary lead mining and smelting, such as soil pollution and water contamination. Moreover, the company’s lead scrap recycling endeavors conserve natural resources, decrease energy consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. As a leader in the non-ferrous recycling industry, Shiv Shakti Metals sets a shining example for responsible lead management, contributing to a more sustainable future and inspiring others to follow suit. Through its unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship and innovative recycling practices, Shiv Shakti Metals solidifies its position as a champion of eco-friendly metal recycling, poised to make a lasting impact on the world.

Process of lead scrap recycling:-

  1. Collection: Gathering lead-acid batteries and other lead-containing materials from various sources.
  2. Sorting: Separating lead-acid batteries by type and sorting other lead materials.
  3. Disassembly: Breaking down batteries into components like lead plates, sulfuric acid, and polypropylene.
  4. Crushing: Crushing lead plates into smaller pieces to increase surface area.
  5. Separation: Separating lead from contaminants like sulfuric acid, plastics, and other materials.
  6. Cleaning: Removing impurities from lead pieces through washing and rinsing.
  7. Melting: Heating lead in furnaces to produce molten lead (around 327°C).
  8. Purification: Removing impurities through skimming, filtering, or chemical treatment.
  9. Alloying: Mixing lead with other elements to create desired alloys.
  10. Casting: Pouring molten lead into molds to produce ingots or other shapes.
  11. Refining: Further purifying lead through electrolysis or chemical refining.
  12. Quality Control: Testing lead products to ensure they meet industry standards.

 

Shiv Shakti Metals employs advanced technologies and strict safety protocols to ensure efficient and environmentally responsible lead scrap recycling. This process enables the recovery of high-purity lead, reducing the need for primary lead production and minimizing environmental impacts.
