  1. Eco-friendly Recycling ABU KHADER GROUP Battery Recycling System Presented by Eng. Mohammad Al Tarawneh Recycling Plant Manager

  2. “ OUR BACKGROUND… Good ideas come from everywhere in the company. ” • Abu Khader group made its beginnings in the year 1937 • The decentralized structure allows each company in the group to remain focused on its own strategy and enables it to stay close to its market segment and its customers. • Current Business Sectors : • Automotive spare parts, • Tyres, • Lubricants, • Vehicles, • Battery manufacturing, • Public transport, • Leasing and car rental, • Technology, education and real estate

  3. LOCATION… JORDAN • Abu Khader Group is among the leading business groups in Jordan and the region with operations in Palestine, Egypt, The United Arab Emirates and Lebanon • International Storage Battery Co. is located at Abdullah bin Al Hussein Industrial Estate (AIE) • AIE is an Industrial zone of 12 km south east of Amman, where ISBCO is manufacturing Lead Acid Batteries. • Industries include metals, packaging, pharmaceutical 7 machine industries employing more than 13,000 people

  4. International Storage Battery Company (ISBCO).. • International Storage Battery Company (ISBCO) has been established in the year 1994 • Started operation in 1995 under license from Hoppecke GmbH, Germany We are specialized in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of automotive batteries, in Jordan and the region “ ”

  5. International Storage Battery Company (ISBCO).. • Ours is a professionally managed company with ISO-14001:2004 certification • ISBCO achieved a milestone in pursuit of quality by receiving the ISO-9001:2000 certification • Manufacturer of high quality batteries of DIN and JIS standards • ISBCO has adopted the backward integration manufacturing strategy - looking forward to establishing a Lead Battery Scrap Recycling Plant • Presently we are using 3000 MT / year of Pure Lead & Lead Alloys, which consists of 85-87% out of total Raw material cost to produce Batteries

  6. WHY LEAD RECYCLING… • Lead Battery Scrap is a Hazardous waste and unsafe disposal creates heavy Environmental / Health problems. • Careful Recycling is essential, beneficial & cost effective in comparison to treatment & disposal cost. • The country do NOT have Eco-friendly recycling Plant to handle this hazardous waste generated locally. • Presently Battery Recycling operations in Jordan are being handled by un-organized Backyard Smelters. • Such illegal operations is serious threat TO OUR ENVIRONMENT. “ Emissions during Recycling can be fully controlled by effective Pollution Control Equipments. ”

  7. BACKYARD SMELTERS & UNCONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS… • High Demand of Lead Metal Market - Leading to birth of Backyard Smelters. • Shortage of Supply - Way towards Small Unconventional / Backyard recycling Practices • Price Hikes in Metal Value - A Favorable condition for Business But Need of Eco – Friendly Recycling “ More then 85% of the total Lead Battery Scrap is required to be channelized properly for Eco - Environment ”

  8. TRENDS OF LEAD METAL PRODUCTION… • Gap between the Production from Primary & Secondary Production has increased from 1990 to 2004 • Secondary Production exceeds the Primary

  9. LEAD METAL MARKET (GLOBAL)…

  10. LEAD METAL MARKET… • The Trend of Primary & Secondary is exceptional in Oceania region because of Australia being a Mining Zone.

  11. REFINED LEAD (PURE LEAD) METAL MARKET…

  12. Overview • Lead is a hazardous material used in many industries such as:- • Paints. • Additive for petrol. • Lead Acid Batteries. Because of the high demand on lead bearing materials and pure lead for local industries, it is most essential to secure lead sources to be able to compete locally and internationally. In most of these industries lead can’t be retrieved, since it’s disseminated and causes pollution, how ever lead can be retrieved through lead acid batteries in substantial quantities for recycling. Due to the fact that lead can be collected from lead acid batteries, and then recycled nearly all lead can be retrieved, due to that fact most known manufacturers tend to have recycling plants for batteries, for dual purposes environmentally and economically. Lead acid batteries are a well established industry in Jordan, and for that industry to be able to compete in both arena’s locally and internationally building a recycling plant is a MUST if we want to enhance the economic and environmental factors.

  13. Introduction • Lead is the 4th most widely used Metal on earth • Lead has highest rate of recycling among all Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals • Lead is the only metal on earth which retains its 100% Chemical & Physical properties, irrespective of any number of recycling • Worldwide production of recycled Lead is now about 3 times more than producing Prime Lead…

  17. Main Stages of Lead Recycling Process STAGE 1 – BATTERY TREATMENT SECTION • Draining & Neutralization of Electrolyte • Several punches are made at the bottom of the scraped battery after removing the vent plugs to allow for maximum electrolyte draining and any lead suspended in the acid to be drained off in to a closed draining tank. • The acid is treated and neutralized in the tank with formation of Gypsum along with lead bearing powder \ compound which is finally fed in furnace as a charge. • The neutralization of acid makes water, who's PH is 7+ and further pumped as make up water for recirculation in the wet scrubber unit. • The generated fumes and effluent gases are captured and treated in the acid treatment unit. ACID TREATMENT UNIT CHEMICAL CAUSTIC STORAGE TANK ACID TREATMENT TANK DRY DRAINED BATTERIES

  18. Main Stages of Lead Recycling Process STAGE 1 – BATTERY TREATMENT SECTION B. Breaking System & Separation of Components • Through an inclined conveyer (S.S) the batteries are transported. • Conveyor Band Saw Cutting machine is used. • The saw is designed with adjustable height in order to accommodate different types of batteries, after sawing the battery will be released and the lid will be removed manually, the lead plugs and anodes will be removed from the battery by applying a hammer. AS A RESULTE TWO TYPES OF MATERIALS ARE OBTAIND. • LEAD. • POLYPROPLENE. • PP is crushed in to small chips then washed before being filled in to bags for further use either in remanufacturing of spacers used in batteries or to be dumped in to legal dumping site by coordinating with the MOE.
