Lead (Pb) is the chemical element with atomic number 82 in the periodic table of the elements. It is a very special metal because it is very flexible and chemically reactive. Lead is found in abundance in the earth’s crust but is rarely found in its elemental state. Most of the metal is extracted from underground mines.

Applications and uses

Lead forms alloys with many other metals. In fact, most of its applications are in this form. The most common alloys are those made from steel, aluminium, tin, copper and zinc. It has many applications in a wide variety of fields: batteries, taps, battery packs… The main use of lead is in the manufacture of batteries or rechargeable batteries.

Lead recycling

50% of the lead obtained comes from the recycling of mostly car batteries. It can be reused indefinitely and when it is recycled it undergoes melting processes to make it liquid so that it can be transformed into new articles. Lead scrap is considered hazardous waste, which is why it is treated by authorised waste management companies. Recycling this metal requires up to 40% less energy than producing it as primary metal.
