Lead, carbonate sulfate

Lead Whites. Basic lead carbonate, sulfate, siHcosulfate, and dibasic lead phosphite are commonly referred to as lead whites. Usage is limited because of environmental restrictions placed on the use of lead-containing compounds.

By far the most common lead salt used for PVC stabilization is tribasic lead sulfate. It can be found either alone or combined with another lead salt in almost every lead-stabilized PVC formulation. Many of the combinations are actually coprecipitated hybrid products, ie, basic lead sulfophthalates. Dibasic lead stearate and lead stearate are generally used as costabilizers combined with other primary lead salts, particularly in rigid PVC formulations where they contribute lubrication properties dibasic lead stearate provides internal lubrication and lead stearate is a good external lubricant. Basic lead carbonate is slowly being replaced by tribasic lead sulfate in most appHcations due the relatively low heat stabiHty of the carbonate salt which releases CO2 at about 180°C during PVC processing. 

The carbonates, sulfates, nitrates, and haUdes of lead (except the yeUow iodide) are colodess. Bivalent lead forms a soluble nitrate, chlorate, and acetate a slightly soluble chloride and an insoluble sulfate, carbonate, chromate, phosphate, molybdate, and sulfide. Highly crystalline basic lead salts of both anhydrous and hydrated types are readily formed. Tetrabasic lead sulfate [52732-72-6] 4PbO PbSO, and the hydrated tribasic salt [12397-06-7] ... 

Oxygen evolved from the anodes as well as some hydrogen from the cathodes produces a mist which is trapped by a froth maintained by adding cresyhc acid, sodium siUcate, and gum arabic, or glue plus cresol. Alkaline-earth carbonates prevent lead contamination of the cathode ziac. Most of the lead is deposited ia the cell sludge as iasoluble carbonate—sulfate. 

Phenyl isothiocyanate has been prepared from thiocarbanilide by the action of phosphorus pentoxide, hydrochloric acid, iodine, phosphoric acid, acetic anhydride, and nitrous acid. It has also been prepared from ammonium phenyl dithiocarbamate by the action of ethyl chlorocarbonate, copper sulfate lead carbonate, lead nitrate, ferrous sulfate,and zinc sulfate. ... 

C19-0050. What are the half-reactions for these redox processes (a) Aqueous hydrogen peroxide acts on Co, and the products are hydroxide and Co , in basic solution, (b) Methane reacts with oxygen gas and produces water and carbon dioxide, (c) To recharge a lead storage battery, lead(II) sulfate is converted to lead metal and to lead(IV) oxide, (d) Zinc metal dissolves in aqueous hydrochloric acid to give ions and hydrogen gas. 

The feasibility of the above reaction ensues from the data on the solubility products of lead sulfate and lead carbonate salts. Evidence abounds that both sulfate and carbonate ions are present. 

Newer secondary recovery plants use lead paste desulfurization to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions and waste sludge generation during smelting. Battery paste containing lead sulfate and lead oxide is desulfurized with soda ash to produce market-grade sodium sulfate solution. The desulfurized paste is processed in a reverberatory furnace. The lead carbonate product may then be treated in a short rotary furnace. The battery grids and posts are processed separately in a rotary smelter.

For some reason, not yet established, a combination of lead sulfate with lead carbonate produced considerably better fire-retardant results than when either of these pigments was used alone. For that reason, this combination has been used in the formulations reported here (Tables Vm and IX),... 

Use of lead carbonate and lead sulfate in proper proportions improves exterior fire-retardant paints. 

Biogenic Sulfur Emissions from the Ocean. The ocean is a source of many reduced sulfur compounds to the atmosphere. These include dimethylsulfide (DMS) (2.4.51. carbon disulfide (CS2) (28). hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (291. carbonyl sulfide (OCS) (30.311. and methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) ( ). The oxidation of DMS leads to sulfate formation. CS2 and OCS are relatively unreactive in the troposphere and are transported to the stratosphere where they undergo photochemical oxidation (22). Marine H2S and CH3SH probably contribute to sulfate formation over the remote oceans, yet the sea-air transfer of these compounds is only a few percent that of DMS (2). 

Lead chromates and lead molybdates are produced by precipitation of soluble salts in aqueous media. Various lead sources include litharge, lead nitrate, basic lead actetate, and lead carbonate. The lead carbonate and basic lead acetate are used primarily to control particle size. Other ingredients include acids, alkalis, sodium bichromate, and sodium chromate. Additionally, molybdate orange manufacture involves the use of sodium molybdate and sodium sulfate as raw materials.
