Serious pollution of lead-acid batteries will set new standards for anti-pollution in the industry

In May of this year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection began to carry out special rectification of heavy metal pollution to reduce the harm of heavy metals, especially lead. Henan Province is a major province of lead metal and is a major province for lead-acid batteries. However, how to standardize this industry not only meets the needs of society, but also meets the requirements of environmental protection. It still lacks a suitable standard. The lead-acid battery industry is undergoing a reshuffle.

Downstream of the industry:

"High prices can not get the goods"

“Electric vehicles have all gone up, and they have gone up for four or five times, mainly because the battery has risen much.” On September 1, in the electric vehicle market of Huanghe Road in Zhengzhou, a brand electric vehicle salesman said. Sun Hua, a salesman of a lead storage battery company at Nanghai Road Electric Vehicle City, said that their batteries had just gone up by a price a week ago and have now gone up again. The 48-volt, 20-ampere battery is set for 1,000 yuan, and "high prices are not available." The reporter interviewed a number of lead battery dealers and distributors and received the same answer.

In May of this year, China began to carry out special rectification of the heavy metals-related industries. More than 90% of the country's lead-acid storage battery companies have been shut down or banned. The supply of lead-acid batteries on the market has become increasingly tense. The shortage of lead-acid batteries has first impacted the electric vehicle industry. Battery shortage, the electric bicycle market has to stop.

Industry Status:

"Reduced production and severe industry shrinkage." The results of the investigation at the end of July showed that 95 lead-acid battery companies under construction in our province are mainly engaged in the production, assembly, and recycling of lead-acid batteries. At present, only 10 are in production." Weekly captain literature said.

It is reported that not only our province, the country's nearly 2,000 lead-acid battery companies, there are currently only more than 200 in the start of production, and most of the serious reduction in production.

A staff member from a lead-acid storage battery company in Zhengzhou, Shanghai, explained that due to the rectification, workers knew that lead was harmful and many were reluctant to do it. The company could only start five or six hours a day. The old enterprise was closed, and the new enterprise was difficult to build, resulting in extreme shrinkage of the lead storage battery industry.

Sun Hua, a salesman of a lead battery company in Shangyu City, Zhejiang Province, said that his company originally wanted to build a factory in Jiyuan City and invested tens of millions of yuan, but the EIA did not come down and had to give up.

Reasons for governance:

The process behind the pollution is serious. Zhou introduced the literature, China's lead-acid battery enterprises behind the process, equipment is simple, it is easy to cause pollution. "Most of them are manual operations, and many companies do not have protective measures. Some enterprises rely on exhaust fans to pump lead dust, and the protective effect is poor."

After a series of blood lead incidents, China’s environmental protection department determined to thoroughly rectify the lead-related industry, and the substantial increase in the threshold has caused many companies to face elimination.

On May 18, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a notice requesting “strengthening the prevention and control of lead battery and recycled lead industry pollution.” The company must ensure that the pollutants reach a stable standard, discharge 500 meters of sanitary protection distance, and establish a heavy metal pollution liability during the production process. Investigation system, etc.

"If required by the state, most of the province's lead-acid storage battery companies have to be switched off. Our province is densely populated and the land is tense. This protection distance is even more difficult for enterprises to do." Zhou said that at present, the requirements of our province are less than 500 meters. Enterprises that are required to have a health protection distance and cannot guarantee the safety of pollution emissions "will stop before they say it."

Industry outlook:

The development of new anti-fouling standards It is reported that there is currently no unified standard for the lead-acid battery industry, and all provinces are setting standards according to their own circumstances. In terms of health protection distances, the standards implemented by Tianjin and Guangdong are 300 meters and Zhejiang is 500 meters.

Zhou said that if enterprises have good technical processes and protective measures, the scope of pollution is small, and the requirements for sanitary protection distances can be appropriately reduced. "We are referring to Anhui, Zhejiang and other places to study the standards that are suitable for our province, and may appropriately reduce the distance requirements, but require companies to improve the level of technical processes and pollution prevention. They are currently coordinating with the Ministry of Industry and Information, and then reported to the provincial government for approval."

He explained that to achieve this standard, it is necessary for enterprises to have stronger capabilities for technological upgrading and pollution prevention measures, so as to achieve the goal of retaining the industry's living space and achieving the survival of the fittest.

Once the new standard is approved, it means that the lead battery industry will face a big reshuffle. It is reported that the environmental protection department will support stronger companies and help them become bigger and stronger.

Glossary: ​​Sanitary protection distance means that the harmful gases emitted during the production range from the boundary of the production area to the residential area, and can meet the minimum distance required by the relevant standards of the allowable concentration limit of the national residential area.
