Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, our research group estimated the potential generation of waste Ni-MH battery and lead acid battery in Mongolia where the motorization is based on the import of used hybrid cars from Japan. Moreover, we investigated the current status of environmental lead pollution and distribution by waste lead acid battery. Considering these results, we discussed about an appropriate reuse and recycling route and method of waste Ni-MH and lead acid battery with the researchers in Mongolia.
