Paste Mixing

Lead-Acid Battery Paste Mixing

1. In lead-acid battery manufacturing, lead oxide, water, sulfuric acid and formulation additives are mixed under controlled conditions to produce the active-material paste used for battery plates.

2. Handling and feeding lead oxide and other dry ingredients can generate lead-containing dust, while the subsequent mixing process may produce moist or acidic airborne contaminants depending on the process conditions.

3. As the paste mixing process progresses, the collected contaminants may become acidic, moist and potentially sticky, which should be considered when selecting the extraction and filtration method.

4. For paste mixing applications involving moist, sticky or acid-containing contaminants, a suitable wet collection or scrubbing system can be considered according to the actual process conditions, contaminant characteristics and required emission performance.
