Abstract

Our country has a factory producing batteries of the type commonly known as dry cells. The characteristics of these devices have already been considered to contain materials harmful to the environment and health. Depolarizing mixture, one of the key materials in composition, has chemical components that produce negative effects on biota and are causing irreversible diseases in plants and animals, including man.


 


The generation of waste from these mixtures is to stop worrying and not with current technology, this production is not very sustainable and committed to future generations. That is why this study aimed to establish a technological alternative that would minimize the mixing waste generated in the production of batteries.


 


This was done using a variant of formulation obtained by the combination and this waste with a new mixture and studied in the technical processes of production. This provided a viable alternative allowing these waste mixtures reinstate the old production. This variant also shows the possibility of combining electrochemical systems NH4Cl and ZnCl2 to produce a cell with strong download services, good quality and less time consuming in mixtures of waste to produce Zn-C batteries R20 "D".
