I am a Project Engineer involved in designing a manufacturing and processing facility for recycling of scrap batteries. I am worried about how are they going to dispose the effluent liquid waste containing sulphates (SOx) without the adhere effect on the environment? In the description of their process, they do not have any further process to extract the sulphates (S0x) out of liquid waste effluent prior to waste storage and disposal. The sulphates will remain still in the system unless there is further process to extract these out. One way to do this is by crystallization of liquid sodium sulphate solution which they do not have.

People working in DX Furniture are strongly rejecting "Resource Recovery Facility - Lead Acid Batteries" in Ingleburn.
