Lead forms several oxides. Lead The most common being lead oxide (PbO), Red Lead (Pb3O4) and lead dioxide (PbO2)
By heating lead(II) nitrate:
2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2
or
By heating lead (II) carbonate:
PbCO3 → PbO + CO2
The latter process is preferred since the production of toxic nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is avoided.
In an ancient industrial process, lead was indeed heated at 600°C in air [lead melts at 327.5 °C] to produce a grey powder containing metallic lead.
PURE lead (II) oxide can be prepared in one of 2 ways:By heating lead(II) nitrate:
2Pb(NO3)2 → 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2
or
By heating lead (II) carbonate:
PbCO3 → PbO + CO2
The latter process is preferred since the production of toxic nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is avoided.

Hi
I go through your site blog is so good having good information about the Lead smelters and battery recyclers, Lead acid battery manufacturers We are the one of the best Manufacturer and supplier of Lead acid battery. Just visit our site
Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing it! It is always a joy to learn something that I didn't know. I have you to thank for teaching me something new.
see here my post Lead oxide Manufacturers
Lead Ingots Manufacturers
Interesting post. I am looking for blogs related Recycled PP granules Manufacturers.
Its looks good but it needs more clarifications. Thank you for your post.
Very infomative blog on pp granules
