A lead ore recycling plant focuses on extracting and purifying lead from various sources, primarily lead-bearing materials like lead-acid batteries or lead ore. The process typically involves smelting to separate lead from impurities, followed by refining to achieve the desired purity. Environmental controls like Smelting:The ore or lead-bearing material is heated in a furnace, often a rotary furnace, at high temperatures. Additives like soda ash, iron, and carbon may be used to aid in the separation process. 3. Air Pollution Control:Emissions from smelting and refining are channeled through a system that may include cyclones, bag-house filters to minimize environmental impact.
