Abstract: A spent and/or decommissioned accumulator treatment plant and process, wherein a plurality of objects originating from separate waste collection of spent and/or decommissioned accumulators, nominally comprising lead-acid accumulators and accumulators and objects of a different type, are subject to an X-ray scan. If an analysis of the X-ray scan indicates that an object is not a lead-acid accumulator, and in particular is a lithium-ion battery or accumulator, it is deviated out of the treatment workflow, that comprises grinding the objects and separating lead from other materials.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the recovery of lead from a lead pastel electrolytically, where the pastel contains lead sulfate. The process provides for the leaching of the non-desulfurised pastel and the subsequent removal of the sulfates by precipitation; the leachate containing the lead ions is then subjected to electrolysis for the recovery of metal lead. The present invention further relates to a process for the recovery of lead accumulator components, wherein the lead contained in the pastel of the accumulators is recovered according to the aforesaid process.

Abstract: A method for recovering metal zinc from a solid metallurgical waste containing zinc and manganese, may include: (a) bringing the solid metallurgical waste into contact with an aqueous leaching solution comprising chloride ions and ammonium ions to produce at least one leachate including zinc ions and manganese ions and at least one insoluble solid residue; (b) cementing the leachate, by adding metal zinc as a precipitating agent, to eliminate at least one metal other than zinc and manganese possibly present in the leachate as ions and producing a purified leachate; (c) subjecting the purified leachate to electrolysis in an electrolytic cell including at least one cathode and at least one anode immersed in the purified leachate to deposit metal zinc on the cathode and producing at least one exhausted leachate, and, before the electrolysis, precipitating manganese ions by oxidation with permanganate ions and subsequently separating a precipitate including MnO2.
