Lead Ore Smelting Plant
Mettherm specializes in providing high-quality equipment for a Lead Ore Smelting Plant in India, ensuring efficient processing of lead-bearing materials, including battery scrap. Our advanced smelting technology enables the extraction of lead from raw materials such as lead grids, lead oxide, and other lead components. These materials are first cleaned and then melted in smelting furnaces to recover usable lead.
During the smelting process in a Lead Ore Smelting Plant in India, the raw materials, along with additives like soda ash, iron turnings, and charcoal, are charged into a rotary furnace. This furnace facilitates the melting and conversion of lead-bearing materials into crude lead blocks. The slag generated during the process undergoes separate treatment in the rotary furnace to maximize lead recovery. To ensure environmental compliance, emissions generated during smelting are directed to a state-of-the-art air pollution control system. This system comprises dust collectors, cyclones, wet scrubbers, cooling towers, bag-house filtration units, induced draft fans, and chimneys, effectively minimizing environmental impact.
Processing Lead Ore in a Lead Ore Smelting Plant in India
The most commonly processed lead ore is galena (lead sulfide), followed by other significant ores such as cerrusite (lead carbonate) and anglesite (lead sulfate), which are weathered products of galena. The Lead Ore Smelting Plant in India follows a systematic process to extract lead efficiently.
Step 1: Laboratory Analysis of Lead Ore
Before processing, lead ore is analyzed in the lab to determine its composition and suitability for smelting.
Step 2: Roasting and Heating
The roasting process involves heating the lead ore in high-temperature furnaces (1000–1200°C). During this stage, lead sulfide (PbS) undergoes chemical reactions to convert into pure lead. Some of the key reactions include:
-
PbS + Fe → Pb + FeS
-
PbS + 2PbO → 3Pb + SO₂
-
PbS + PbO₂ → 2Pb + SO₂
These reactions occur directly within the melting furnace, eliminating the need for intermediate steps. The process also requires additives such as carbon (coal) and iron (iron swarf) to facilitate smelting. Impurities are collected in the slag, which is treated separately with soda ash to enhance liquidification and slag formation.
The Lead Ore Smelting Plant in India operates at high furnace temperatures ranging from 1250°C to 1400°C, ensuring complete lead extraction. The recovered lead undergoes refining in lead refining furnaces to achieve higher purity levels before being used in battery manufacturing and other industrial applications.
