That stuff that you knocked off the cell grids is actually lead. It's lead sponge. The grid just holds it in place and they use it because of the enormous surface area compared to solid lead. So that is all lead splattered all over where you beat it out of the grids.

Ugh this is definitely not worth the cost in time or damaged health. All of that black lead sulfide sludge spattered everywhere will need to be cleaned up and sent to a recycling place. Here in the USA scrap yards will pay you $10 per battery. For that $10 you could buy 5lb of lead at a surplus metals yard. I know you stated in other comments that this was the first an only time you'll do this, but it's worth repeating: stay safe and leave the lead acid battery recycling to the professionals. They have the equipment needed to do it in a safe manner.

The best part was the end when you tried to polish a turd.

With a flat lead surface, have you thought of taking a torch to that surface to puddle it up? Doing that will give you some benefits; A very level and pit free surface that will be easier to buff. You just need to be careful of runoff.

The material that he knocked off of the lead grids can be refined to Pb. Lead sulphate decomposes to lead at about 650C. Lead oxides will undergo various transformations and can be reduced to Lead by the addition of carbon, for which charcoal is a good source. Alternatively, the ladle charge can be heated to 650C to 700C to decompose the Lead sulphate then cool the furnace down to about 350 to 375C and skim the lead oxide off as dross and refine it separately. . PS: Please, please, please do not pour any molten metal into a cold mold. If there is any moisture present, you will not like the results and you will be lucky if you only end up in the hospital. Mold and ladle explosions are not pretty at all.

This would only work if your "screen" was heated to well beyond the melting point of the lead... but screening methods aren't used because they're problematic. Even when molten, metals don't like to flow through a screen. On a normal pour, extra metal is melted and any moulds are filled after the dross is skimmed from the surface - the extra metal is then poured into a blank for future use. This method allows a casting without impurities as the impurities always end up in the blank. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

Man just watching you take ALL these metals from ALL types of things people Usually trash or scrap and let someone else get the bulk of the money for because they are either too busy or too stupid to do what I see you do with ease. I'm sure it is hard work (Anyone who is great at something makes it look like child's play to others) it sure as heck don't mean it is! And I am truly interested in doing some things like this. Any advice on where, what, how to start with?

The new chemicals law in the EU makes it practically impossible to buy hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. So don't waste sulfuric acid, clean it by filtering. You can dilute it with water (remember: acid is added to water) or concentrate by boiling off water. Batteries usually contain approx. 13% sulfuric acid.

Why. Why would you grind it?? Why would you grind it????

First, you need to vent that shit higher. Those fumes are so toxic you wouldn't believe it. Second you need to add a little antimony so you can use that to cast bullets. Third, that casting looks awesome, good job. great video.
