LITHARGE
...
Description: Lead(II) oxide, or litharge, is a yellow oxide
of lead of formula PbO, created by heating lead in air. It
can also be formed by heating lead(II) nitrate(V)
(Pb(NO3)2). It is used in the manufacture of paints and in
glass, as well as in vulcanization. A mixture with glycerine
sets to a hard, waterproof cement that has been used to join
the flat glass sides and bottoms of aquaria. Litharge is
amphoteric, meaning it reacts with acids to form Pb2+
and with bases to form plumbate(II)
Litharge, which is Lead Mono-Oxide (PbO) is a yellowish or
reddish, odorless, heavy, earthy, water-insoluble, solid,
PbO, used chiefly in the manufacture of Lead Stabilizers
(Lead Steareates), pottery, lead glass, paints, enamels, and
inks. Litharge is also called Lead Monoxide, Lead Oxide,
Plumbous Oxide.
Other use of Litharge is as intermediate used in a variety
of industries like lubricants and greases, insecticides,
inorganic pigments, Lead soaps, petroleum refining, rubber
and PVC etc.
Our manufacturing Plant for Litharge has a Barton plant as
the common first step. The required input is refined Lead
ingots of minimum 99.98% purity. The Barton plant output is
routed to the Litharge furnace with their respective
equipment complement, which comprises of the Litharge
furnace, grinder, cyclone and bag-house arrangements, ending
in a mixer / silo, Pulverizer & packing section.
