Why use environmentally friendly batteries?

1. An environmentally friendly battery is a mercury-free battery. What is an environmentally friendly battery like? The reporter found in the investigation in the past few days that many citizens did not know this. In fact, environmentally friendly batteries are mercury-free batteries. And the national meaning of mercury-free batteries is that the mercury content in the battery is less than 0.0001% of the battery weight, and the meaning of low mercury means that the mercury content in the battery is less than 0.025% of the battery weight. As early as the year before last, nine ministries and commissions including the my country Light Industry Council have jointly issued a document stipulating that from January 1, 2001, all domestic and foreign battery products (including batteries matching electrical appliances) that enter the domestic market will be sold in the single All batteries must be marked with mercury content (the method for marking the mercury content of battery products has not yet been published in the national standard, and domestic environmental protection battery manufacturers have different labels, including low mercury, no mercury or zero mercury and zero mercury) , Batteries without mercury content are not allowed to enter the market. In this way, when we buy a battery, we only need to look at the mercury content of the battery to know if it is an environmentally friendly battery. In February last year, the my country Battery Industry Association commissioned the National Light Industry Battery Quality Supervision and Testing Center to conduct unified sampling, testing and further re-inspection of alkaline battery processing manufacturers across the country, and on October 19 of that year announced that it had reached its green and high-quality The list of alkaline battery processing companies required by the six requirements for battery products. These companies include: Fujian Nanfu, Bank of China (Ningbo), Guangzhou Battery Factory, Changheng Battery, Shanghai White Elephant, White Swan and other 13 battery processing manufacturers. 2. Environmentally friendly batteries can reduce environmental pressure. So why use environmentally friendly batteries? Secretary General Wang of the my country Battery Industry Association said in a telephone interview with reporters that in the processing of traditional batteries, mercury is used as a corrosion inhibitor for batteries (batteries are chemically used, and generally speaking, electricity is generated by corrosion) , The use of mercury can improve the discharge performance and storage performance of the battery, but if the waste battery is not handled properly, the mercury in it will penetrate into the soil and water and enter the cycle of nature, bringing pollution to the environment. my country is a big battery consuming country. Last year, my country's battery production and sales were 14 billion cells, accounting for about one third of the world's total batteries. Just imagine if everyone uses mercury-containing batteries, how much threat it will bring to our living space. The environmentally friendly battery is a battery that does not contain mercury or has a very low mercury content. Therefore, when the harmless treatment of batteries in China is not yet possible, the use of such batteries can greatly reduce the impact of waste batteries on water and soil. Pollution, thereby minimizing its harm to human health. 3. The cost-effectiveness of environmentally friendly batteries. In fact, for most consumers, while paying attention to environmental protection, they are more concerned about the benefits. Secretary General Wang of the my country Battery Industry Association told reporters that environmentally friendly batteries are much more cost-effective than ordinary batteries. First of all, the current domestically processed environmentally friendly batteries are all alkaline batteries, which contain 2-4 times that of ordinary batteries. Although the price is higher than that of ordinary batteries, it is still worthwhile to buy environmentally friendly batteries by comparison. More importantly, it is conducive to environmental protection. Even if it is accidentally abandoned in the wild, it will not pollute water and soil due to mercury leakage. In random interviews with the Provincial No. 2 Light School and Normal University, many students said that they had vaguely heard about environmentally friendly batteries, but it was not very clear that the important determinant when they buy batteries is price. After listening to the reporter's analysis of the concept of environmentally friendly batteries, most of the interviewees said they would choose more environmentally friendly batteries in the future. 4. Three reasons hinder the promotion of environmentally friendly batteries. Since environmentally friendly batteries have so many benefits, why not promote them in an all-round way? Secretary-General Wang told reporters that, in fact, this promotion work has been going on all the time. At present, there are three important reasons why batteries have not yet achieved low mercury: First, the price factor. To process mercury-free alkaline zinc-manganese batteries, mercury-free zinc powder, special electrolytic manganese dioxide and specially treated negative electrode fluid must be used. The use of new equipment will increase the processing cost by more than 10%; the second is technical factors. Due to equipment and process reasons, some companies have processed mercury-free batteries whose electrical and storage performance cannot reach the level of high-mercury batteries. Secondly, we had to process low-mercury batteries; the third is the renewal process of old equipment and old processing lines, and it is impossible to replace them all at once.
