Evidence Of Recycling Of Lead Battery Waste Into Highly Leaded Jewelry, Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer, Micheal L. Clement
Evidence Of Recycling Of Lead Battery Waste Into Highly Leaded Jewelry, Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer, Micheal L. Clement
Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer
Inexpensive highly leaded jewelry, much of it imported from China, remains widely available in the United States. The source materials for these items are unknown. Due to the low cost of much of this trinket jewelry, it seems likely that scrap materials may be used in their manufacture. Thirty-nine jewelry items previously determined to contain 90% or more lead by weight were analyzed for antimony content. The average antimony content of these thirty-nine items was 3.0%. The range of antimony content in the samples was from 0.3% to 6.2% antimony by weight, with twenty-seven of the samples in the range …
Leaded Electronic Waste Is A Possible Material For Lead-Contaminated Jewelry, Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer, Michael L. Clement
Leaded Electronic Waste Is A Possible Material For Lead-Contaminated Jewelry, Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer, Michael L. Clement
Jeffrey D. Weidenhamer
Highly leaded jewelry, often imported from China, remains widely available in the United States. Leaded electronic waste is exported from the United States to several Asian countries where solder is recovered and circuit boards are stripped of parts in small workshops. To assess whether electronic waste is being recycled into the jewelry, lead, tin and copper content of highly leaded jewelry samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Sixteen jewelry items previously determined to contain 20–80% lead by weight were analyzed. Samples were digested in nitric acid for analysis of lead and copper, and in aqua regia for analysis of …
