Spent lead–acid batteries have become the primary raw material for global lead production. In the current lead refining process, the tin oxidizes to slag, making its recovery problematic and expensive. This paper aims to present an innovative method for the fire refining of lead, which enables the retention of tin contained in lead from recycled lead–acid batteries. The proposed method uses aluminium scrap to remove impurities from the lead, virtually leaving all of the tin in it. The results of the conducted experiments indicate the high efficiency of the proposed method, which obtained a pure Pb-Sn alloy.

It is very interesting to recycle precious metals from waste. Currently, I am also working in quite a similar domain of PCB waste recycling.

This article (Recovery of Non-Ferrous Metals from PCBs Scrap by Liquation from Lead ) combines your research with mine. Once the valuable metals are transferred from PBC to lead, they can be used in the manner described in my article.
