The aim of this work was to recover one waste from zinc battery by use like additive in mortar and concrete materials and this way, promoting both battery and environment solutions. Hence, the morphological, chemical and mineralogical characterizations were made focusing its use in the recycling Brazilian industry. Moreover, the tests performed in a true density and specific surface area (BET), X-ray diffraction, pH and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
