The discharge of other pollutants of odor pollutants and environmental noise by battery manufacturing enterprises shall observe corresponding applicable national pollution discharge standards, and the identification, treatment and disposal of solid wastes hence generated shall observe applicable national standards on solid waste pollution control.
The standard stipulates the ceiling value for the discharge of water and air pollutants and requirements on monitoring of battery manufacturing enterprises and special discharge limits of water and air pollutants for key areas.
Wastewater discharge standards are regulations that protect water sources from pollution and mismanagement. They vary according to the type of water use, such as agricultural, industrial, or recreational use in each country in Latin America. The standards maintain water quality by controlling the physicochemical and bacteriological parameters.
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) production wastewater boasts elevated organic content, our pilot wastewater treatment module integrated with Boron-doped diamond BDD electrode could degrade refractory organic pollutants to extremely low concentrations, which secure effluent discharge and enhanced traceability & sustainability .
The presence of lead in the wastewater from the lead-acid battery industries can range from 3 to 9 mg/L. Every day, they release 120,000 L of this wastewater. The permissible limit by WHO in drinking water is only 0.01 mg/L.
Industries such as electroplating, lead-battery based units, dyeing, pharmaceutical, and agro-chemical units generally discharge acidic waste into surface waters (Yaseen and Scholz, 2019; Parween et al., 2017; Sivasubramanian, 2016; Gadipelly et al., 2014; Rahangdale et al., 2012; Babu et al., 2009).
