Where does Nickel come from and how do we get Cadmium?

Nickel-cadmium batteries naturally require both nickel and cadmium. Two metals that are quite similar, yet also very different, if only in where we find them and how we get them.

The Ni-Cd Battery as a Reliable Means of Stabilizing Energy Supply in Remote Regions

In remote regions, such as deserts, mountains, or villages on isolated islands, providing a stable supply of energy is challenging. These remote areas often use diesel generators, which are unreliable and harmful to the environment, and which require constant delivery of fuel. For these reasons, it is recommendable to replace the generators with alternatives based on renewable energy.

Recycling Ni-Cd batteries

Recycling Ni-Cd batteries

Used disposable and rechargeable batteries are waste material that requires special attention in recycling. There are two reasons for that. Batteries contain heavy metals that may be damaging to the environment and human health. At the same time, they also contain many valuable metals that have potential economic significance. Proper recycling prevents pollution of the environment and enables us to reuse the material from used batteries.

Memory Effect in Ni-Cd Cells – a Popular Misconception

They say that when you discharge a nickel-cadmium battery a few hundred times to the exact same level, the next time the cell drops below this level, it will experience a sudden and significant drop in voltage. Is this true? And does it apply to other cell types?

Sources of Nickel, Its Mining and Recycling

While our planet’s fossil and in particular biological reserves are dangerously depleting, our supply of nickel is virtually inexhaustible – in part because it is easy to recycle. That is good news, because nickel is a key material for both current and future technologies.
