The remaining problems including low secondary proportion, disordered recycling system, and high proportion of oudated process, still exist in China until now. The amount of used lead acid batteries rises along with the rapid development of battery manufacture in China.
Refined lead is the main raw material of batteries. The annual production in China increased from 1.2 million tonnes (MT) in 2001 to 4.64 MT in 2013 (CNMA, 2014). Till now, the annual production in China has ranked first in the world for 11 consecutive years (Zhang, 2012).
China produces a large number of waste lead-acid batteries (WLABs). However, because of the poor state of the country's collection system, China's formal recycling rate is much lower than that of developed countries and regions, posing a serious threat to the environment and human health.
China recorded a lead output of 6.44 million tons in 2020, of which 2.4 million tons were secondary lead output. This supplementary supply of lead accounted for 37.27% of all lead used for manufacturing in China. However, the formal recycling rate of WLABs in China is only approximately 40%.
Background: In China, the first and also the latest version of national childhood lead exposure control guidelines was issued by the National Health Commission in 2006, when the reference value of high blood lead exposure was set at 10 μg/dL and lead poisoning was set at 20 μg/dL.
To a broader level, the entire life cycle of lead-acid battery needs to be considered that are raw materials production, lead-acid battery design, production and consumption, end-of-life process including collection of spent LABs and recycling or reuse of lead for lead acid battery (Fig. 9) (Sun et al., 2017).
