Obtaining metallic lead

Geology

Lead is rich in sedimentary and ultrabasic intrusive rocks, where it is contained in dozens of different minerals in the form of intermetallic compounds with other elements. It is extremely rare in nuggets. The most important minerals are cerussite, galena and anglesite. Lead ores accompany the radioactive ores of thorium and uranium. In nature, lead tends to form large deposits of polymetallic or lead-zinc ores of the stratiform type. The mineral galena accompanies deposits of a wide variety of ores: copper-nickel, polymetallic, uranium, and accompanies gold-bearing rocks and colchedan.

Methods of production

This metal has been smelted by people for centuries, as it is widespread, easy to obtain and process. First, the ore is enriched by flotation. To obtain rough lead: use reduction smelting method, oxygen-weighted electrothermal smelting method, liquid bath bench method. Prior to smelting in a shaft furnace, the concentrate is first roasted and then loaded into the shaft furnace, where the reduction of metal from oxide takes place. The finished ingots contain more than 90% Pb and are further processed. Modern methods of obtaining 'this metalf are represented in the industry by the two most common technologies:

-electrochemical;

-hydro-metallurgical.

Also recently, new processing methods have been developed. They mainly offer different impacts on base metal ores through bromination, photolysis and pyrolysis. The problem with the latter two is the low productivity and high losses in the metal extraction process.
