Stibine filter for antimonial lead acid batteries

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5153577
This patent application relates to storage cells and more particulary to stibine filters for antimonial lead-acid storage cells. The addition of small amounts of antimony to lead produces lead electrodes having greatly improved mechanical properties. This substantially increases the life of lead-acid batteries. Stibine is removed from gases generated in antimonial lead-acid batteries by using a filter having carbon powder (especially activated charcoal) as the active agent.
