Reclamation of Lead Acid Battery Processing Wastewater through Microbes and Waste Valorization: Progress, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Biological filtration is being used to remove heavy metals from our environment, particularly waste, instead of traditional procedures such as chemical precipitation, coagulation, and membrane filtering. Because of their toxicity and ability to bioaccumulate, heavy metals have turned out to be a key concern of worry for human health and the ecosystem. In the current times, the generation of different economical bio-sorbents utilising microalgal species, mycobacteria, and agricultural wastes containing lignocellulose, were studied to analyze their potential to adsorb heavy metals. However, the lead acid battery industry waste effluent will be the focus of this review article, which will provide a comprehensive overview of the lead acid battery processing industry and its solid and liquid waste treatment methodologies. The composition of wastewater from lead-acid batteries - from which we will know the exact source of pollution in the wastewater. Carcinogenic effects of some preparations Lead-acid battery treatment Wastewater - a threat to human life. Lead-acid batteries are treated using a new process called biodegradation. The current state of treatment and movement towards future possibilities were examined in this review-based chapter. We hope that this brief overview will be beneficial in providing information on the recovery and recycling of lead from lead-acid battery waste in the wastewater treatment industry.
