The global Lead Chemicals market was valued at US$ 1387.8 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 1734.5 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 2.3%.

Lead chemicals or lead-based chemicals are chemical compounds produced from lead. Chemicals such as lead acetate, lead chloride, lead nitrate, lead stabilizers, etc. find numerous applications in various industries such as paints & coatings, mining, gold refining, explosives, textiles, chemicals, cosmetics, etc. Chemicals such as lead nitrate was earlier used in production of pigments for paints & coatings industry, however, these paints were phased out with less harmful titanium dioxide paints. Lead acetate was initially used as a sweetener and sugar substitute, and in later years in cosmetics and as a chemical reagent. Chemicals such as tribasic lead sulphate (TBLS), dibasic lead stearate (DBLS), dibasic lead phosphite (DLP) and lead stearate (LS) have proven as a cost-effective stabilizer used for PVC. These compounds prevent decomposition of PVC, providing excellent heat and light stability, good electrical and mechanical strength and enhanced processing range used for a variety of applications such as PVC profiles, pipes, cables, etc.

Use of lead chemicals such as lead chromate, lead oxide, lead tetra oxide, etc. for use in paints & coatings industry as pigments is expected to boost growth of the global lead chemicals market.

Method for preparing high-purity lead acetate and nanometer lead powder from waste lead paste

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity lead acetate and nanometer lead powder, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-purity lead acetate and nanometer lead powder from waste lead paste of a waste lead acid battery. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out solid-liquid separation after adding the waste lead paste to a solution with a desulfurizer to desulfurize, so as to obtain waste lead paste; adding an acetic acid solution and a solution as a reducing agent to the obtained desulfurized lead paste, so as to obtain a soluble acid solution containing lead; adding a glacial acetic acid to the obtained soluble acid solution containing lead to carry out recrystallization and purification, so as to obtain high-purity lead acetate trihydrate crystal and a glacial acetic acid solution; and putting the high-purity lead acetate crystal into a tube furnace or a muffle furnace to roast, so as to obtain the nanometer lead powder. The lead acetate and the nanometer lead powder are prepared according to the method disclosed by the invention; the method is simple in production flow, low in energy consumption, high in lead recovery rate, free of sulfur dioxide pollution, and relatively low in environmental pollution, and can achieve discharge free of pollutants, and the economic performance is superior to that of a lead powder preparation process of a traditional pyrogenic process or a general wet process

Patent Number: CN105861852A

Cyaniding-free gold extraction method

Abstract

The invention discloses a salt pollution-free green gold extraction method which does not adopt a current classical highly toxic substance sodium cyanide as a gold-extraction leaching agent, and relates to the cyaniding-free gold extraction method which is fast in speed, non-toxic and not sensitive to impurities. A leaching system of the method takes a bromide salt as a gold-extraction leaching agent, the leaching agent concentration is proportioned according to different mineral characteristics, and leaching of gold in a sulfide ore gold raw ore and a gold concentrate can be realized at suitable temperature and pH. The method has the beneficial effects that compared with other cyanide-free gold leaching methods, the bromination method has the advantages of fast leaching speed, relatively stable system, low reagent costs and high leaching efficiency and the like, and also achieves one-step direct leaching of minerals containing less sulfide ores.

August  2020: Vikas EcoTech Ltd.S Export Of Organotin PVC Stabilisers To USA Continues On Growth Path. Vikas EcoTech Ltd.s Export of Organotin PVC Stabilisers to USA Continues on Growth Path. New Delhi [India], August 20 (ANI/NewsVoir): BSE and NSE Listed Vikas EcoTech have recently announced that despite the current COVID-19 crisis, companys exports of its flagship product, the eco-friendly Organotin PVC Stabilisers to the United States of America (worlds largest Organotin market) have continued unabated. The company has tied-up with one of the largest specialty chemical/Organotin stabilizer distributor in USA, having a well-established countrywide distribution network. The US Company has continued placing its orders as per their earlier agreement with the company for 2020 and is eyeing a long-term association. Organotin stabilizer is a US FDA approved product and is the most sought after a substitute for the health hazardous lead-based PYC Stabilizers. Organotins are recommended by most international legislations for potable water pipes and fittings and have received extensive global certifications and approvals for food contact applications. USA is the worlds largest consumer of Organotin stabilisers - having banned lead and other harmful chemical-based PVC stabilizers in the mid 1980s. During FY 2019-20 the Company export to the USA was almost 1,000 MTs or Rs. 500 Million in Value terms. In India too, the demand for Organotin Stabilisers has seen a significant increase after NGT (National Green Tribunal) order which banned the use of Lead-based stabilizers in PVC pipes and has to order their systematic phase-out. They have recently got an order from HIL Limited (a CK Birla Group Co.), resuming business post-COVID-19 lockdown. The company expects domestic sales to jump significantly post the lockdown as most of the inventory at ground level has been drawn down and the supply pipeline is pushing hard to replenish it. Vikas EcoTech is the only manufacturer of Organotins in India with in-house R&D facilities and is one amongst single-digit number of manufacturer worldwide who have the technology and expertise for its manufacturing right from tin metal stage to the final product.
