title = "Novel lead acid battery paste recycling process",
abstract = "In this study experimental conditions were expressed for a new process of recycling lead paste at relatively lower temperatures. Lead acid battery paste was reacted with the mixture of citric acid, sodium citrate and hydrogen peroxide solution in this process. The solution mixture provided the removal of sulphur content of the paste as well as the decomposition of lead dioxide. Complete transformation to lead citrate was achieved by experimenting hydrometallurgical conditions of leaching-crystallisation step. Then thermal behaviour of lead citrate was investigated accordingly. Lead citrate crystals were decomposed to lead oxide at around 300°C without any addition. Direct reduction of lead from lead citrate was also possible under specific conditions. Experimental results reflected the efficient recovery of spent lead acid battery pastes without the use of high temperature pyrometallurgy or energy intensive electrolysis techniques.",
