Subject lead sulfides

Metallurgy. After concentration of sulfide ores of lead (usually by flotation), the concentrate is subjected to an incomplete process of roasting. This treatment converts lead sulfide partly to lead monoxide and lead sulfate... 

Thermal and photoconductive detectors are used to measure radiation intensities, but all have relatively slow responses and are subject to drift. The lead sulfide or telluride photoconductive cell has a response time of about 0.5 ms, but sensitivity decreases sharply above 2900 cm" for the sulfide and above 1700 cm- for the telluride. Thermal detectors are employed at longer wavelengths. The simplest of these is the thermocouple, which has a relatively slow response (about 60 ms), and several are usually linked to form a thermopile. Bolometers... 

Derivation Three methods are used (1) lead sulfide ore (galena) is subjected to high temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere (2) molten lead is sprayed into ajet of ignited fuel gas and air in the presence of sulfur dioxide gas (3) atomized metallic lead is mixed with water, and sulfuric acid is added under controlled conditions. 

HaS or HI, so as to form lead carbonate, sulfide or iodide oidy on the surface without penetration into the crystal (Ref 22). This treatment will unquestionably reduce the efficiency of LA because it will be contaminated by inert materials l)Solubiliry of LA in water or in 50% alcohol was detd as described in item VII F tinder Lead Azide Plant Analytical Procedures In addn to above listed tests, the various LA s were loaded in M47 caps as intermediate chges together with NOLNo 130 as a primary chge and RDX as a base chge and subjected to the following tests given in the Purchase Description PA-PD-202, with Rev 1 dated 30 Sept 1952 and Amend 1 dated 27 Jan 1953 ... 

Table 5), and several are now being used, or are potentially useful, for measuring key ocean elements. The most common use of direct potentiometry (as compared with potentiometric titrations) is for measurement of pH (Culberson, 1981). Most other cation electrodes are subject to some degree of interference from other major ions. Electrodes for sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium have been used successfully. Copper, cadmium, and lead electrodes in seawater have been tested, with variable success. Anion-selective electrodes for chloride, bromide, fluoride, sulfate, sulfide, and silver ions have also been tested but have not yet found wide application. 

Among the many toxicants that cause convulsions are chlorinated hydrocarbons, amphetamines, lead, organophosphates, and strychnine. There are several levels of coma, the term used to describe a lowered level of consciousness. At level 0, the subject may be awakened and will respond to questions. At level 1, withdrawal from painful stimuli is observed and all reflexes function. A subject at level 2 does not withdraw from painful stimuli, although most reflexes still function. Levels 3 and 4 are characterized by the absence of reflexes at level 4, respiratory action is depressed and the cardiovascular system fails. Among the many toxicants that cause coma are narcotic analgesics, alcohols, organophosphates, carbamates, lead, hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, isoniazid, phenothiazines, and opiates. 

Properties Lead-gray mineral, subject to blackish tarnish, metallic luster. D 4.52-4.62, Mohs hardness 2. Soluble in concentrated boiling hydrochloric acid with evolution of hydrogen sulfide.
