LEAD SUB-OXIDE/GREY OXIDE |
 |
|
The Greyish color Lead oxide is
also known lead sub oxide, grey oxide, battery oxide. The Grey
Oxide is produced in ball mill plant & the process is an
enothermic reaction. The chemical forumlae of Lead suboxide
is (2PbO.Pb). The Lead suboxide is used extensively in preparation
of plates in Lead Acid Batteries. |
Grey Oxide produced in Ball Mill
Plant, which comprises of a small Lead Melting Furnace, operating
in line with a hemispherical / cylindrical ball-casting machine,
which feeds the balls to the ball mill. In the ball mill, Lead
is converted to Lead Sub Oxide, which is an exothermic process.
In this process heat is generated and temperature of a oxide
is increase to control the temperature with in the range of
115 to 135OC. The ball mill is cooled with constant flow of
air and also with the water spraying system controlled through
solenoid valve. The Grey Oxide is harvested through a classifier
high efficiency cyclone, bag-house filtration unit and induction
draft fan arrangement. It is in a grey powder form. The desired
particle size and free Lead content is ensured through proper
plant configuration and precise control of ID Fan suction. Our
plants can produce up to 350 mesh size LSO powder.
