    Abstract:

    A new process of recovering lead directly from spent battery paste as PbO precursor for making new paste has been developed. In this new environmentally sound paste to paste process, the net-carbon, SO2 and lead dust emissions are very low towards making new batteries without the use of high temperature pyrometallurgy or the energy-intensive electrowinning processes. By reacting spent lead battery paste with organic reagents and then combusting the organic crystallites, high surface area PbO is directly available for making pastes for new batteries.
