Lead(II) sulfate primary lead sulfide ore, galena. A number of lead basic sulfates are known: PbSO·PbO; PbSO·2PbO; PbSO·3PbO; PbSO·4PbO. They are used in manufacturing of active paste for lead acid batteries. A related mineral is leadhillite, 2PbCO·PbSO·Pb(OH). At high concentration of sulfuric acid (>80%), lead hydrogensulfate, Pb(HSO), forms. Lead(II) sulfate can be dissolved in concentrated HNO, HCl, HSO producing acidic salts or complex compounds, and in concentrated alkali giving soluble hexahydroxidoplumbate(II) [Pb(OH)] complexes. Lead(II) sulfate decomposes when heated above 1000 °C: Lead(II) sulfate Lead(II) sulfate (PbSO) is a white solid, which appears white in microcrystalline form. It is also known as "fast
Ore Metal Exchange aims to add uranium to its list of metals on warrant. The World Bank reports that China was the top importer of ores and metals in 2005 followed by the US and Japan. DILL, H.G. (2010) "The “chessboard” classification scheme of mineral deposits: Mineralogy and geology from aluminum to zirconium," Earth-Science Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1-4, June 2010, Pages 1-420 Ore An ore is an occurrence of rock or sediment that contains sufficient minerals with economically important elements, typically metals, that can be economically extracted from the deposit. The ores are extracted from the earth through mining; they
