A new and direct process for the reduction of lead sulfide

Author

Rolando Oscar Fernandez

Abstract

"The direct reduction of lead sulfide concentrates by iron was investigated. An oxygen-bearing flux was shown to be a necessary ingredient for complete reduction of the concentrate. The effects of time and temperature on lead recovery were studied. Only a trace amount of sulfur dioxide is evolved during reduction, which is in agreement with thermochemical calculations"--Abstract, page ii.
