Abstract Scope |
Battery waste is a worldwide problem due to the increase in battery consumption and in the nature of the materials involved, typically classified as hazardous. Normally these batteries are disposed in landfills, contrary to all recommendations of recycling or a circular economy. Primary battery waste is mostly constituted for some materials easy to separate and recycle such as metal, plastic, and paper; and others more difficult to process, ceramics powders, mostly graphite, zinc oxides, and manganese oxides. This research focusses in finding alternative uses for these ceramic powders, in combination other materials. Several formulations have been fabricated, and their corresponding materials characterization has been conducted. Results show alternative composites, with potential applications as electronics and structural materials. |
