Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to separation and recovery of metals from ground alkaline batteries using anode mud (zinc electrolysis waste) and other manganese and zinc containing materials. The material commonly referred to as alkaline black (AKB) is solubilized into sulfate media and the manganese to zinc ratio is adjusted. The solution containing metals is processed using crystallization and ion exchange methods to produce manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate solutions for several possible applications.
