I need about 100lbs of lead.. for fishing sinkers and bullet casting.
-
@spmexy works great for me, the most accurate ammo I have ever shot out of my glock! If it is properly lubed and the barrel cleaned every time I shoot... works great!
-
@Ma77hew soft led cant be good for a glock. :/
-
All that acid can't be good for the JCB
-
Fishing weights for LIFE
-
@87tomify I don't know about this facility but I work at East Penn Manf. in Pennsylvania and they spend millions every year in ventilation duct systems, fresh or clean air return systems, as well as on bag houses some equipped with HEPA filtration. They monitor employees with routine blood tests. Unless you are extremely negligent your exposures are quite low.

Hint, IT'S LEAD!
-
@maddawg762 why is it neutralized? it could be filtered and reconcentrated for use in new batteries. H2SO4 is super easy to re-constitute, it just has to be heated to 300C and the water will boil away for reuse. Seems like a waste to me, thats all.
-
I even recycle lead! I take used old wheel weights and turn them into bullets for my glock!
-
i persume its very toxic working at those facilities, even you wear a mask.

The acid is neutralized with a chemical and diluted with water, then processed as wastewater. By the time the former acid is purified, it is basically water, and can safely be discharged into the environment.
Don't worry - all applicable water quality guidelines and regulations are followed in the handling of lead and acidic waste.
