Technology and Process

Advanced Lead Recycling Technology

At ASR MetalX, we operate an integrated lead-acid battery recycling facility designed to maximize material recovery while ensuring environmental protection, operational safety, and regulatory compliance. Our recycling process combines mechanical and automated dismantling, material separation, controlled smelting, metallurgical refining to recover high-purity secondary lead while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Using scientifically engineered recycling systems, we efficiently recover lead, polypropylene plastic, and electrolyte from spent lead-acid batteries, transforming hazardous waste into valuable raw materials that support India’s circular economy.

Our advanced Air Pollution Control Devices (APCDs) effectively capture dust and process emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and ensuring environmentally responsible operations.

Our Technology

Semi-Automated Battery Breaking System

Spent lead-acid batteries are processed through a semi-automated battery breaking system. Batteries are manually opened, dismantled, and segregated under controlled conditions to ensure safe handling, efficient recovery of valuable materials, and minimal contamination.

The process includes:

Forklift-Based Material Handling

Lead-bearing materials are transferred using forklift and material handling equipment from the battery breaking area to the rotary smelting furnace for charging.

Key benefits:

High-Efficiency Smelting Furnace

Recovered lead materials are processed in energy-efficient rotary/reverberatory furnaces under controlled temperatures.

 

The smelting process enables:

Metallurgical Refining Technology

Molten lead undergoes controlled refining using specialized fluxes and alloying practices to remove impurities and achieve:

Every batch is tested before casting.

Advanced Air Pollution Control System (APCS)

Environmental protection is integrated throughout the plant using:

These systems capture lead particulates and maintain emissions within CPCB/SPCB prescribed limits.

Effluent & Electrolyte Management

Battery acid and process wastewater are managed through a dedicated treatment system.

 

The process includes:

End-to-End Recycling Process

Lead-acid battery recycling involves multiple controlled stages to safely extract reusable materials such as lead, plastic, and electrolyte.
  1. 1

    Battery Collection & Safe Storage

    Used batteries are transported to our facility following approved safety and hazardous waste handling protocols.
  2. 2

    Battery Discharge

    Before dismantling, batteries must be safely discharged to eliminate stored electrical energy and reduce handling risk.
  3. 3

    Battery Dismantling & Separation

    Batteries are mechanically broken in a controlled environment to separate different components.
  4. 4

    Lead Recovery (Smelting)

    The recovered lead components are sent to the smelting unit where they are processed in high-temperature furnaces.
  5. 5

    Lead Refining & Alloying

    Molten lead undergoes purification and chemical treatment to achieve high purity levels.
  6. 6

    Ingot Casting & Packaging

    Refined lead is cast into standardized ingots or customized shapes for industrial use.
