The three kinds of battery flow
1. Some repair shops recovery digital camera battery “processing”, the low-cost sales
July 16, reporters with their own electric vehicle batteries scrapped the ground, respectively, to waste recycling companies, individuals who received waste, street repair shops, electric car distribution Inquiry found that this power has been unable to provide a “waste” also able to 50 at prices ranging from 120 yuan to be acquired.
Chang waste received master said they changed hands could be sold to scrap the battery company. Cheng East electric vehicles in opening a repair shop in Mr. Liu said that accumulate to a certain amount of battery recycling, will someone come to collect their own only know that they may be sent to the battery factory. “We are manufacturers do not recall, but consumers can take the old battery to us trade-in.” Giant after-sales service center said that because the kodak klic-5001 battery can not be apart, to return the factory can no longer use, so they had to the recovery of old batteries are sold on the streets of the repair shop. In the ensuing investigation, Arminio and other brands of after-sales service department also said that they used is similar to the approach.
2. Refining recycling, re-made batteries
Navigation Road, electric vehicle market, some operators multiple brands of electric cars is a clear commitment to business, the old battery can be 50 ~ 120 yuan a price recovery. A dealer on condition of anonymity, said the old battery finally went to a small battery factory is used to extract one of the lead, after processing, you can re-made kodak klic-7001 battery. However, according to his understanding, Zhengzhou electric vehicles on the market brand-name manufacturers do not recall the fundamental, the final flows were the same.
3. Refinery refining pure lead
Zhejiang, an electric car manufacturer based in Zhengzhou, agent Song Qiang (a pseudonym), enter the electric car industry for almost eight years, he told reporters yesterday, a number of brand-name electric car battery recycling factory will be, will be one of the extract of lead, and then own re-made a new battery into the market, one of lead kodak klic-7004 battery scrap, generally around 5% can be extracted from pure lead.
In addition to this collection, the Song, claiming there are some small, private refineries, the battery inside using indigenous methods of lead extraction, lead ingots cast after the high-priced resale. It was his understanding that the private refineries are generally located in suburban or rural areas, the use of technology and equipment is relatively backward, but in recent years due to lead prices up, so there is not a small profit. “Some small repair shop, but also that he would waste the battery modification, and then re-sold.” He said that, in addition to refining of lead outside the use of used batteries, another is “melted down reform”, a number of electric car repair shop will be Spent electrolyte inside the kodak cr-v3 battery replaced, the battery can store electricity again, and then sold to consumers low prices. He admits that transformed the battery can not be supported for too long, but due to low prices coupled with some consumers do not understand, they still have a certain market.
Economic benefits and let the policy overhead
In October 2003, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Construction, Science and Technology, Ministry of Commerce promulgated the “Waste Battery Pollution Prevention and Control Technology Policy,” which stipulated, the electric vehicle manufacturers must take responsibility for recycling of waste batteries. But in practice, because of transportation and storage costs of such links as larger expenses, this requirement is almost null and void.
Navigation on the road to a certain brand electric vehicle dealer’s calculations, the battery transportation according to the “dangerous goods” to pay various charges. If the manufacturers send vehicles recycling batteries, nearly 0.4 yuan per catty required to pay the transportation and storage costs, charges at least annually spend hundreds of million yuan.
Large number of unauthorized acts of the prevalence of canon bp-511 recycling of used batteries, it is due to profitable.
Policy in place, regulators are in place
Zhengzhou Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said a staff member, the battery acid will pollute the environment inside is not in doubt, but because of Zhengzhou City, has yet to introduce relevant policies, regulations, although they have to understand this situation, but also suffer from no “law” may in accordance with “there is no support for the relevant regulations, even if we received a report that the dumping of waste was separated cells, nor punishment, only advice.”
He said pollution of used batteries for electric vehicles of this situation, they also attach great importance, but also specifically to find out about the practice of the field, they also want to related to regulatory policies as soon as possible.
It is understood that Beijing had previously promulgated regulations, by industry and commerce, quality supervision of law enforcement and other agencies to require electric vehicle manufacturers to enter the sony vgp-bpl8a battery market must be committed to the future of the used batteries for recycling, otherwise not allowed to enter the market, through such policies can make the market on the used batteries last a reasonable “way back.”
