In this research, a comprehensive literature review was conducted over the valorization, utilization and circular economy of Zn-C batteries after their useful life. The status of this battery waste in Colombia and Latin America is also presented, as well as some case studies conducted in Medellin involving a small business enterprises and research at the university level. Therefore, some characterization including scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and other techniques. Results show the high potential of this waste for using in construction materials, electronic materials, and formulations tailored for agriculture fertilizers. |
