Lead Nitrate

Applications and benefits of Lead Nitrate

Lead Nitrate is used as oxidation promoter in sulfide minerals, avoiding ore passivation.

Mineral leaching

Reduces cyanide use.
Combats the cyanicide effect of minerals such as sulfides.

Pyrotechnics

Upon heating, it breaks down into lead oxide (II), creating a noise or crackle better known as crepitation, a property used in pyrotechnics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a manufacturer or a retailer?

We manufacture lead nitrate. We possess sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet any requirements.

What countries do you ship to?

We are based in Mexico and ship worldwide. We have clients in the US, Canada, Central and South America.

How much lead nitrate do I need for each application?

There are no fixed percentages. Dosage depends on mineralogy and the amount of precious metals found.

What percentage of lead nitrate optimizes mineral recovery efficiency?

Incremental precious metal recovery percentages have been reported between 1% and up to 10% averaging 4.2%. This is related to the system or mineral being worked.

Does lead nitrate purity affect performance duringprocessing?

Yes, the higher the lead salt purity, the lower the amount of lead salt you need to dose to achieve the same result.
