Man, this polishing gave me shivers. You better take care of yourself. Lead dust everywhere, floor, furniture, your skin, your lungs....

That grey stuff you smacked off was Lead sponge (Lead metal). The reddish brown stuff is Lead Dioxide (PbO2) which can be reduced to Lead metal with charcoal. If Lead is what you are after. Lot for wasted Lead. Also the sulfuric acid you neutralized, could have been recycled and concentrated into a useful chemical.

Hey brother just a tip. Don't wear a watch or jewlery while doing this and get some dish washing gloves while doing this. You don't want to trap lead particles next to your skin, and you don't want to ingest lead inadvertently while... say eating French fries or something. Great video, just want to make sure your safe dude Cilantro in your diet can help remove heavy metals from the body also, hope this helps! Love and peace ❤️

Everyone who has had OSHA training is literally shitting a brick watching this video lol

Nice video man, do you do alot of these? are you or your neighbors showing any symptoms of the poisoning yet?

That was super fun to watch! My favorite part was when you took apart the battery! So fun!! 😀

That stuff that you knocked off the cell grids is actually lead. It's lead sponge. The grid just holds it in place and they use it because of the enormous surface area compared to solid lead. So that is all lead splattered all over where you beat it out of the grids.

I remember my first battery break down...what a mess! It was everywhere. Then a couple years later I became a contractor and had to be certified as a lead renovator. Learned some pretty scary stuff about lead. What I didn't realize at the time was all the clay-like stuff between the lead wire mesh is actually lead sulfate and lead oxide in the paste and slurry. I flung it all over like in this video. I was severely contaminated and spread lead contamination everywhere. It really does damage to children and pregnant woman. By all means recover the lead but play it safe. Wish I would have known. .

A lot of work well done, looks good for the collection.

Thoroughly enjoyed that brother. Gets the mind working on how to subsidize the income!!

I love these trash to treasure videos.

That was a neet way of doing that. Haven't seen it done that way. Thanks for sharing

Nice video. I'm just not sure I'd get myself to do this. Especially the grinding and whatnot which puts out dust anyone can breathe.

This is great, thank you!

Ugh this is definitely not worth the cost in time or damaged health. All of that black lead sulfide sludge spattered everywhere will need to be cleaned up and sent to a recycling place. Here in the USA scrap yards will pay you $10 per battery. For that $10 you could buy 5lb of lead at a surplus metals yard. I know you stated in other comments that this was the first an only time you'll do this, but it's worth repeating: stay safe and leave the lead acid battery recycling to the professionals. They have the equipment needed to do it in a safe manner.

As strange as it may seem, this is the first battery breakdown and melt I've seen

I appreciate this video because I've broken down exactly one car battery and it was the nastiest thing I've ever worked on. I'll never do it again. Honestly nobody should do it, but every scrapper SHOULD watch a few videos like this to understand why they shouldn't do it. It's a ton of work to recycle a box full of toxic gunk and metal!

*Breathe in that good'ol lead grinding dust.*

With a flat lead surface, have you thought of taking a torch to that surface to puddle it up? Doing that will give you some benefits; A very level and pit free surface that will be easier to buff. You just need to be careful of runoff.

Big like for this cool and interresting video! Kind regards from Treasure Island

Great Video!!!👍

Interesting. However, you are extremely cavalier about spreading lead and acid all over the place. Using a very small of of baking soda like that will neutralize a very small amount of the acid. There will be bits of lead all over the place where you were bashing on the plates.

Hey, nice video, but never ever polish Lead like you did. This is so dangerous. Lead ist toxic. Also use a clear coat to seal, just to touch it safely. The other side, its a pretty heavy little Bast...d you made. Very nice. Greetings from Germany brandt-heiss

Wow there is a lot of Lead in 1 of those, I have like 15 small ones and 2 big ones to get the Lead out of. I like the idea of the elemental label using the chisel. I'm gonna borrow that trick 😁👍

Great video cant wait to do some

Nice stack 👍🏽

At these temps you're gonna have lead volatilizing and get exposed to it. Smelting lead releases volatile lead oxides. Actual smelters have air scrubbers and other technology to keep lead down.

Really hard work man you messed up by collecting lead. Great job man .thanks👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏👍🇮🇳💐💪🧡👊

I see he's using a screwchisel to remove the caps. You will need a hammerwrench to split the case!😂

The best part was the end when you tried to polish a turd.

The material that he knocked off of the lead grids can be refined to Pb. Lead sulphate decomposes to lead at about 650C. Lead oxides will undergo various transformations and can be reduced to Lead by the addition of carbon, for which charcoal is a good source. Alternatively, the ladle charge can be heated to 650C to 700C to decompose the Lead sulphate then cool the furnace down to about 350 to 375C and skim the lead oxide off as dross and refine it separately. . PS: Please, please, please do not pour any molten metal into a cold mold. If there is any moisture present, you will not like the results and you will be lucky if you only end up in the hospital. Mold and ladle explosions are not pretty at all.

Using sawdust is a great (and cheap) flux to get impurities out of the lead.

I hope you are using a really good mask...with all that lead dust!

i got lead poisnoning from watching this video

Thank you very much

Very interesting, subbed.

Pulls out chisel to remove the caps and I already know it’s setting a trend for, wrong tool wrong job lol

I use lead solder. I take extra care to avoid getting contaminated, I was in a pinch one day and didn't wear gloves and the tip of my middle finger ached for about a week

A job well done sir ! 😎👍

"How to get lead on everything I can" ASMR.

My dad melted lead batteries to make counter weights for telescopes .and fishing sinkers . I got hundreds of lbs of cast weights and things .

good job

I dry the paste out and snort it.

Hell no, grinding lead block, puts lead dust everywhere

How do you clean up and dispose of the waste? I have to take it to a certified landfill in sealed five gallon buckets, else sit on the group W bench as a litter bug.

Never seen anyone polish lead

Don’t forget battery lead contains about 5-10% antimony as well

Super 👍👍👍

Man just watching you take ALL these metals from ALL types of things people Usually trash or scrap and let someone else get the bulk of the money for because they are either too busy or too stupid to do what I see you do with ease. I'm sure it is hard work (Anyone who is great at something makes it look like child's play to others) it sure as heck don't mean it is! And I am truly interested in doing some things like this. Any advice on where, what, how to start with?

_Nice_

what was the weight of the battery before lead extraction any idea ?

Does it have to be melted down to a block or will the recycler buy it in sheet form

I never knew what an auto battery looked like inside

I really like your videos 🖤🖤 Your channel is becoming my fv ch on YT

When you pour the lead into its mold does all the extra junk automatically float to the top to be scraped off OR Could you possibly make a square screen like a colander and when you pour your led into the form slowly pull the colander/strainer out to remove all the junk

What exactly is the grey matter you are bounding out? Isn't that Lead as well?

Why. Why would you grind it?? Why would you grind it????

Cool, I have a battery I've been wanting to do 👍. Thanks

I knew a guy that died of lead poisoning. He owned an indoor gun range and had full ventilation as well. I definitely wouldn't keep it inside my house. Lead is easy to melt but it can also kill you.

😎 cool

Bhai ye lead kaha se milega

Oh Man, I thought I invented the "Slapping" method to removing the paste in the plates! Well, I still like using the "Throw it hard against the ground" method too.

i always drain the battery water into my lake

Couldnt you collect acid too? Then clean/concrete ir?

10.724, how much did it weigh b4 the melt

We did this as kids, much the same way you did, except no gloves and a wood fire. We were about 8 to 12. That was incredibly idiotic in hindsight on our part. Used them for the sinkers on our bamboo fishing rods. Used empty cans from peas or milk to melt it in

Нарушение техники безопасности + загрязнение поверхностей. + загрязнение грунтовых вод со временем свинцом .

What do you do with acid base lead

I contemplated doing this for casting bullets, but the comments in the forums suggested it ruined the barrel of the gun. Any comments on using this type of lead for bullets?

Bravo.......marble....limestone.......be careful....lead dioxide .......clean up good......cheers

Can you solder lead on aluminium?

Just casually touching a block of pure lead

Lead poisoning????

I read somewhere to just build a fire get a coal base throw battery on top add logs all around it. It will burn all the plastic and leave a chunk of lead you can jus collect that and melt it again

Would love a huge brick of lead like that lol, not willing to risk working with the stuff tho. Maybe someday far from my house

I have no unreal fears of working with Pb I have worked in the secondary Pb world for almost forty years . This video scares the crap out of me expecily hearing the kids in the background. This individual has exposed himself and those around him to multiple heavy metals, including arsenic and cadmium. How were the wastes handled ( contaminated acid ,seporators, oxides)? These will remain dangerous to anyone who contacts them. Please leave this to those who are qualified and follow safe work practices. 😢

Big stack?

Not recommended! Too much lead contamination, grinding & polishing it being the worse.

Video asmr membuat saya senang

First, you need to vent that shit higher. Those fumes are so toxic you wouldn't believe it. Second you need to add a little antimony so you can use that to cast bullets. Third, that casting looks awesome, good job. great video.

very cool, as long as you are in a ventilated area with proper PPE, and don’t expose anything you use often to this 👍 edit: wrong emoji 💀

Healthy 👏

Thanks for sharing the procedure. I had some old batteries ans I'd never did it becouse to extract the lead part for melting, you have to do a lot of "dirty" work before, managing healtly and environmently hazardous things... and at the end you have a lot of dangerous trash to face with.. These considerations make me the decision to give batteries to a recycle center.. the low value of lead does not justify all this work in my opinion... 😀

The new chemicals law in the EU makes it practically impossible to buy hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. So don't waste sulfuric acid, clean it by filtering. You can dilute it with water (remember: acid is added to water) or concentrate by boiling off water. Batteries usually contain approx. 13% sulfuric acid.

Not bad but I would have neutralized the acid as soon as I opened the battery caps.

That is a lot of lead for a battery. You hit the lead plates on the wood. Could you have just melted it all and skimmed the junk off the top?

full copy of the style from ukposts.info

How much do make out of that

What protects the kids in the background

How many lead get from one battery

Like 👍🏼🙂

I agree with the people that think this is not worth it. Batteries sold to recyclers are any where from 5 to 7 dollars. That ten lb. Chunk is worth about ten. That's just the cash value. You then have to worry about all the toxic waste you create. Then hope you didn't get contaminated yourself.

Damn !!! You destroyed the battery, why??

What matériel ?

Why did you remived lead paste? There is 60-70 % of lead! It could be recovered too by baking soda and charcoal.

Looks environmentally friendly😤😤😤😤😤

Very dangerous to do the lead oxide in the plates is very bad stuff

Watching so much intensive labor in that toxic environment for such a small yield of lead is depressing. I buy scrap lead for $1 per pound. I can't imagine going through this process when it's so cheap to buy. Especially when you can cast it into buckshot and slugs and make a 500% profit margin.

Entirely too much work, I think I'll go to an outdoor shooting range for lead. Great video though. Thank you

Assumption is he is wearing a respirator?
