Minor elements are commonly present in the raw lead materials that are used to manufacture lead/acid batteries. Although certain of these elements are known to exert, individually, a marked influence on the gassing characteristics during charging, less is understood of their collective effects. As t
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** In the conventional recycling process, lead battery pastes are recovered as metallic lead by using an energy intensive decomposition and reduction process. Decomposition of PbSO~4~ requires the use of relatively high temperature and causes environmental pollution, i.e. e
