Batteries are electrochemical devices used to convert energy into electricity The expansion of traditional battery markets and the continual development of new applications, such as portable computers and mobile telephones, have led to a significant increase in the use of batteries over the past thirty years. As batteries contain hazardous materials recycling offers a potentially attractive solution to the battery disposal problem as it has the advantage of simultaneously reducing the amount of pollutants entering the environment and conserving raw materials. Batteries contain valuable metals that can be recovered such as nickel, cadmium, manganese, steel, copper etc.
