Sustainable Treatment for Sulfate and Lead Removal from Battery Wastewater
lead–acid battery wastewater sample was generated from a lead–acid battery company and kept in plastic bottles. The battery company had no recycling system; therefore, the sulfuric acid from the used lead–acid battery was directly poured into a storage tank. The main contaminated compositions in the wastewater were sulfate and lead (Table2).

An Approach to Reduce Waste in Lead Acid Battery Industries
In production of lead acid battery huge amount of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is used. It lowers the PH value of water when mixed up with water which raises the acidic property of water [5] [6]. If lead acid batteries are disposed of in a solid waste landfill or illegally dumped the lead and sulfuric acid can seep into the soil and

Impact of lead acid battery industry wastes on environment and
Lead (Pb) is used in many industries including the lead acid battery industry (LAB), lead recycling, and Sensor development. Among these, the lead-acid battery industry is the major industry in the world. For the economic development of a country the demand for motorized vehicles that use lead acid batteries as a source of energy is increased.
Treatment Methods for Lead Removal from Wastewater
Wastewater from municipal facilities may contain Pb, which can come from plumbing fixtures, lead-based paints, and lead-piping. For instance, research in China discovered that the water supply system''s Pb pipes and fittings were primarily to blame for the wastewater from a residential area having a Pb concentration of 0.27–1.39 mg/L (Tang et al. 2020).
Cleaner production options for lead-acid battery manufacturing industry
This study demonstrates how cleaner production can be applied to the lead-acid battery manufacturing industry, with focus on reduction/prevention of lead wastes. Lead contamination of food arising from treatment of land with industrially contaminated sewage sludge or lead containing chemical fertilisers and pesticides has been examined [3].
Lead and other elements-based pollution in soil, crops and water
The recently established lead-acid battery industry might be one of the highest Pb contributors to the Bangladeshi environment (Chowdhury et al., 2021; Kumar et al., 2022). In contrast
Lead(II) removal from aqueous solutions and battery industry wastewater
The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of using seawater-neutralized red mud—a waste-based byproduct from bauxite refining to produce alumina—for the removal of Pb(II) from a battery manufacturing wastewater. The results showed the ability of the neutralized red mud to sorb Pb(II) from model aqueous solutions and battery manufacturing
Health hazards of China''s lead-acid battery industry: a review of
Despite China''s leaded gasoline phase out in 2000, the continued high rates of lead poisoning found in children''s blood lead levels reflect the need for identifying and controlling other sources of lead pollution. From 2001 to 2007, 24% of children in China studied (N = 94,778) were lead poisoned with levels exceeding 100 μg/L. These levels stand well above the global
