Lead in Oman — Refined Lead Ingots & Battery Recycling
Al Thail Group is a refined lead ingot manufacturer and lead smelter in Oman, and our lead-acid battery recycling feeds the process.
Lead scrap and batteries we receive
Lead scrap is received from approved sources and handled under controlled procedures. It is sorted and processed to recover usable lead.
Spent lead-acid batteries are a main feed for our lead. They are collected from vehicles, workshops, telecom sites and industrial backup power, and they are handled with care because of their hazardous content. Battery breaking and separation lets the lead be recovered, and the plastics are recovered at the same time.
Lead ingots and alloys we produce
Lead in Oman from Al Thail Group comes as pure lead ingots, lead alloy ingots and custom lead alloys. They are remelted and refined from recovered lead scrap and batteries and cast as refined lead ingots.
How lead is smelted and refined
The lead process starts with carefully sourced feedstock, which is processed and smelted to recover the metal. The metal is then refined and alloyed to the required specification before casting. Every batch goes through quality testing before it is released as finished refined lead ingots.
Our lead smelting base in Sohar
Madayn Sohar (Non Ferrous Division) is our lead-acid battery recycling and lead smelting base, and it produces our refined lead ingots. Intake, processing and manufacturing run on a single site, which makes it easier to track materials from arrival to finished metal.
Controlled handling of lead and batteries
Used batteries and lead scrap come only from approved sources. Because of the hazardous content of batteries, health, safety and environmental controls give particular care to batteries and lead, and emissions, waste and residues are managed responsibly in line with applicable regulations. Recovered lead may be used as feedstock for our lead refining and ingot production, which means the lead in a spent battery can return to industry as a finished lead ingot. Nickel cadmium and lithium battery scrap is a separate stream, also received from approved sources and handled under controlled procedures.
What lead is used for
Lead in Oman, as ingots and alloys, is used in battery manufacturing, radiation shielding, cable sheathing and industrial casting. Lead is supplied globally, based on the specification each customer requires.
