Title: Process for the recovery of sulphur from lead-acid battery scrap
Inventor: PRENGAMAN R DAVID
IPC: B01D53/50
Filed: 1999-12-20
Granted: 2002-09-05
Abstract: A process for recovery of substantially all the sulfur in a spent lead-acid battery as Na2SO4 is disclosed. The process comprises (a) breaking the batteries to remove the acid, (b) separating the plastic from the lead bearing materials, (c) smelting the lead bearing materials in a reverberatory furnace in an oxidizing atmosphere to volatilize most of the sulfur in the feed as SO2, (d) scrubbing the SO2 from the off gas stream using a soluble alkaline material such as NaOH, Na2CO3, or KOH to produce a soluble sulfite solution, (e) oxidizing the sulfite solution to sulfate, preferably by turbulent mixing of the solution with air, (f) adjusting the pH by adding the sulfuric acid separated from the batteries, (g) removing the contained heavy metals, (h) crystallizing the sulfate as Na2SO4 or K2SO4, (i) separating a bleed stream from the crystallizer and removing the contained chlorides as a mixed sulfate-chloride product by evaporation of the bleed stream in another crystallizer. The process produces a high grade Na2SO4 or K2SO4 product, condensed H2O for recycle to the scrubber, and a mixed sulfate-chloride product while reducing sulfur dioxide, chloride and heavy metal emissions to extremely low levels.
