Battery classified reclaiming method and discrimination method

Abstract

Identifying batteries with restrictions on their transport and handling is properly achieved by mounting an IC tag on the batteries, recording information such as battery types and materials used to the IC tag, and then reading the recorded necessary information from the IC tag. When batteries are spent, recorded information is read from the IC tags of the spent batteries, and then the batteries are classified by type and material used. Then, required discard processing or recycle processing for each classified battery is performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for identifying batteries and a method for sorting and recycling batteries. The battery identifying method identifies batteries that use materials with transportation or operation restrictions, etc.; the battery sorting and recycling method can classify batteries from used Among the final batteries, batteries for resource recovery, or batteries with specific treatment methods, etc., each category of classification is transferred to the prescribed treatment process. Background technique [0002] There are various types of batteries, and various types of batteries have been used from primary batteries such as dry batteries to secondary batteries. It is important to collect and recycle these batteries when they are used up, in order to suppress waste generation and achieve effective use of resources. Primary batteries such as dry batteries can be disposed of as general waste because they do not use mercury or oth...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] As with the battery disclosed in JP-A-11-031485, when information is recorded through a barcode or identification pattern on the outer packaging of the battery can, there are the following problems: the information cannot be read when using the packaging for transportation; The battery cannot be read correctly due to dirt or damage

[0008] In addition, it is difficult to quickly read the information recorded in each battery from a mass-produced used battery, and there are many cases where the information cannot be read due to the direction of the battery.

[0009] Moreover, the amount of information that can be recorded is limited, and it is impossible to prepare corresponding outer packaging for multiple types of batteries in battery manufacturing, and to respond quickly to changes in recorded content, etc.
