As one of the strategic metals, lead is used in various industries such as battery making, building construction and renewable energy. With increasing global demand, dwindling high-grade reserves and environmental concerns, the importance of processing lead concentrates has increased.
The processing of this material helps productivity and reduce pollutants by increasing lead purity and reducing energy and water consumption. Environmental challenges and toxic waste require advanced technologies and sustainable management. Also, technologies such as artificial intelligence and recycling of lead-acid batteries are improving the efficiency of the lead supply chain.
Sustainable development in lead processing includes reducing environmental impacts, recycling resources and creating employment. National policies and international cooperation play a key role for optimal resource management and technology promotion. Investing in this area can provide a more stable future for related industries while providing stable supply of lead.
