| Abstract Scope |
Gravity-driven multiple-effect thermal system (G-METS) distiller is an effective separation method with the potential to reduce the cost and energy consumption of high purity lead refining. As a result, lead devices, such as lead-acid batteries, may become more widely available for crucial energy storage applications. This paper presents analytical modeling of Pb alloy evaporation kinetics particularly lead alloy containing Sb, Sn, Ag, Cu, Se, Te, and Bi elements. In addition, the techno-economic model of cost, energy consumption, and emissions associated with lead recycling using the G-METS method is investigated. |
