Waste lead-acid batteries are a type of solid waste generated by widely dispersed sources, including households, enterprises, and government agencies. Although the number of WLABs from each individual household is low, the total number of WLABs from society is high, causing great social concern.
Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector. Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained ahead of its peers because of its cheap cost as compared to the expensive cost of Lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries.
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.
According to the 2015 report on lead-acid battery by Chinese Association of Battery Industry (Zhao and Cao, 2015-11-24), disposal of lead-containing acid increases significantly by year in the past 12 years and it only starts to decrease from recently (Fig. 1 b). Lead is of highly toxic, poisoning almost every organ through blood.
30% of primary lead production may be cut by improving the management efficiency. Lead is classified to be one of the top heavy metal pollutants in China. The corresponding environmental issues especially during the management of spent lead-acid battery have already caused significant public awareness and concern.
With improved understanding of the status, circulability of lead in the whole life cycle of lead-acid battery is subsequently calculated. The main conclusions can be given as follows: 30–40% of the spent lead-acid battery is recycled through companies without a certificate for handling hazardous waste.

Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector. Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained ahead of its peers because of its cheap cost as compared to the expensive cost of Lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries.
Under the Universal Waste Regulations, 40 CFR 273, there are permissible treatment activities. The generator may remove the lead-acid batteries from the devices they are powering; discharge them so as to remove the electric charge; remove the electrolytes as long as the batteries are reclosed immediately after removal; or regenerate them.
Lead-acid batteries (LABs) have become an integral part of modern society due to their advantages of low cost, simple production, excellent stability, and high safety performance, which have found widespread application in various fields, including the automotive industry, power storage systems, uninterruptible power supply, electric bicycles, and backup …
