Industrial Uses

1. Metal Treatment

  • Gold Cyanidation Enhancer (Oxidizing Agent) : Used in the extraction of gold by the cyanidation process. Lead nitrate accelerates the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions by oxidizing sulfides that would otherwise consume cyanide.
  • Fluxing Agent in Smelting : Acts as a flux in lead smelting processes, improving separation of impurities and enhancing metal recovery efficiency.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor in Lead Compound Synthesis : Acts as a starting material for manufacturing other lead salts like lead azide, lead carbonate, and lead acetate.
  • Catalyst in Organic Reactions : Sometimes used as a catalyst or reagent in the synthesis of dyes and specialty chemicals.
  • Reagent for Analytical Chemistry : Used to precipitate halides and sulfates in chemical analyses and to prepare standard lead solutions.
  • Research on Inorganic Complexes : Employed in the synthesis and characterization of coordination compounds in academic and industrial research.
