Plant – Mabani

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.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.

Environmental Control Systems

Environmental protection is integrated into every stage of the plant’s design, ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable operations. The facility is equipped with advanced gas filtration and scrubbing systems, controlled treatment processes for liquid effluents, and safe handling procedures for solid by-products. In addition, continuous emission monitoring ensures that all environmental performance is closely tracked and maintained. Air emissions remain well below regulatory limits, reflecting Mabani’s strong commitment to environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance, and the protection of public health.
