National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Page Count	31
Abstract	An industrial lead-acid battery (5 kWh) has been found to generate a significant amount of stibine and arsine during the overcharge period of a charge cycle and during equalization charging. Therefore, a stibine/arsine detection kit was developed for use in field collection and evaluation of toxic gas release. The equipment includes a metering pump to provide a constant gas flow rate, an absorption tube to collect the SbH sub 3 and AsH sub 3 , and the necessary controls, filters, etc. A portable spectrophotometer is used to analyze for antimony. The absorbed solution is analyzed for arsenic at the laboratory. This kit was used to collect and measure the stibine and arsine generated from an industrial lead-acid battery and the ambient air around lead-acid modules during cycling. 8 figures, 6 tables.
