Title: Innovations by Wolfram H Kube in Battery Waste Processing
Introduction
Wolfram H Kube is an accomplished inventor based in Denver, CO, with a focus on environmentally sustainable methods for processing battery waste. He holds a total of five patents that contribute significantly to the field of waste management and lead recovery.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include innovative methods for processing battery waste and other lead-contaminated materials. The present invention is directed to improved methods for processing battery wastes, battery casing debris, and other lead-contaminated materials. The improved processes provide less environmentally stressful methods for recovering lead from such materials while producing scrap or recyclable ebonite and plastics with reduced and environmentally acceptable lead and leachable lead levels. Most of the lead is first removed by trommel scrubbing. In another aspect of the present invention, ebonite and other hard surface materials to which lead contaminants are adhered are mixed with water and abraded in a high-energy scrubber to remove the adhered contaminants prior to separation of the cleaned ebonite from the solution. This simple and environmentally preferred hydromechanical process provides clean scrap or recyclable ebonite. Additionally, plastic and other soft materials contaminated with lead are mixed with a solution having a pH greater than about 7, preferably about 1-5 percent-by-weight alkali hydroxide solution, to dissolve lead contaminants. Separation of particulates produces clean scrap or recyclable plastic while carbonation of the wash water permits recovery of lead carbonate. Finally, the present invention provides methods for controlling dust contamination prior to and during processing by spraying the fine, raw materials with an aqueous solution of a wetting agent, preferably about 2 percent-by-weight alkali carbonate, bicarbonate, or sesquicarbonate in water.
