Our Plant
Our Plant
Mabani’s recycling plant is located in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, and operates using advanced Italian Engitec CX® technology. The facility is designed with a processing capacity of 1.5 tons per hour, allowing it to treat up to 11,700 tons of spent lead-acid batteries annually. Through its efficient smelting and refining systems, the plant produces up to 6,500 tons of refined lead each year. Fully automated operations are implemented throughout the facility to maximize material recovery while ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Our Process
The recycling process follows a structured three-stage system: breaking and separation, smelting, and refining. Spent batteries are mechanically crushed and separated into lead-bearing materials, plastics, and electrolyte. Lead components are then processed in a rotary furnace and refined to achieve high-purity output, while plastics are recovered for reuse and effluents are treated under strict environmental controls. Every step is engineered to maximize material recovery while minimizing environmental impact.
Our Products
Through this advanced recycling process, Mabani produces refined lead ingots with purity levels of up to 99.985%, as well as customized lead alloys based on industrial requirements. In addition to lead products, recycled polypropylene is recovered from battery casings and prepared for industrial reuse. By transforming hazardous waste into valuable secondary raw materials, Mabani contributes to sustainable manufacturing and the circular economy.
Environmental Control Systems
Environmental protection is integrated into every stage of the plant’s design.
The facility includes:
- Advanced gas filtration and scrubbing systems
- Controlled treatment of liquid effluents
- Safe handling of solid by-products
- Continuous emission monitoring
Air emissions are maintained well below regulatory limits, reflecting Mabani’s commitment to environmental responsibility and public health protection.
