PROCESSING OF SPENT ZINC-MnO2 DRY CELLS IN VARIOUS ACIDIC MEDIA

This paper describes a route for recovering manganese and zinc from spent zinc-MnO2 dry cells via acid leaching. Sulfuric, hydrofluoric and formic acids were used as leachants. Hydrogen peroxide was added as reductant, except for formic acid since it is itself a reductant. Experiments were run at 25...
