Lead

Lead
Lead scrap should be free of battery lead and be reasonably free of hard lead, it must be tar free, not contain other metals and be reasonably free of other contamination.

Lead Acid Batteries
Lead can be recovered by either separating the different materials that make up the battery (lead, plastics, acid, etc.) prior to metallurgical processing. Alternatively, batteries can be processed as a whole through heat treatment in a particular type of furnace with metals being recovered at the end of his process.
