Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Manufacture of Pattison's white lead, Verona yellow, Turners Patent Yellow, lead oxychloride, as solder and flux.

Starting material for a number of organolead compounds. It is used in asbestos clutch or brake linings, as a co-catalyst for acrylonitrile production, as a catalyst for polymerization of olefins to highly crystalline, stereoregular polymers, as a cathode for magnesium-lead dichloride seawater batteries to make rectifying junctions on gallium arsenide, as a flame retardant in polycarbonates and nylon-6,6 wire coatings, as a flux for the galvanizing of steel, as a photochemical-sensitizing agent for metal patterns on printed circuit boards, and as a sterilization indicator on tapes that darken with zinc sulfide at 121 ยฐC in moist air.

Preparation of lead salts, lead chromate pigments, analytical reagent.

Industrial uses: Intermediate.

How it is made

By the addition of hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride to a solution of a lead salt, with subsequent crystallization.

Reaction of lead monoxide or basic lead carbonate with hydrochloric acid or by treating a solution of lead acetate with hydrochloric acid and allowing the precipitate to settle.
