3.2 Description

Lead(II) carbonate basic, also known as basic lead carbonate or white lead, has the chemical formula PbCO3·Pb(OH)2. It is a white solid with a sweetish odor. The basic structure of lead(II) carbonate basic consists of one carbonate ion (CO3) and two hydroxide ions (OH) attached to a lead ion (Pb). This compound is insoluble in water. Lead(II) carbonate basic is toxic and can cause harm if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It is a cumulative poison that can affect various organs in the body, particularly the nervous system and kidneys. Exposure to lead(II) carbonate basic should be minimized to prevent health risks. It is important to handle this chemical with caution and follow proper safety protocols to avoid contamination and exposure.

Applicable Fields

Paint Industry: Lead(II) carbonate basic has been widely used in the paint industry as a pigment. Its purpose in this field is to provide opacity, durability, and weather resistance to paint formulations. The mechanism of action in paint involves the dispersion of lead(II) carbonate basic particles in the paint matrix, resulting in the desired color and properties.

Ceramics: This compound is also utilized in the ceramics industry. Its purpose in ceramics is to enhance the properties of glazes and coatings, such as improving the gloss, opacity, and color stability. The mechanism of action in ceramics involves the incorporation of lead(II) carbonate basic into the ceramic matrix during firing, resulting in the desired aesthetic and functional characteristics.

Storage

Conditions: Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.

3.3 Produe Method: Basic Lead Carbonate is produced by several methods, in which soluble lead acetate is treated with carbon dioxide. For example, in the Thompson-Stewart process, an aqueous slurry of finely divided lead metal or monoxide, or a mixture of both, is treated with acetic acid in the presence of air and carbon dioxide. High quality, very fine particle-size basic lead carbonate is produced, ranging in carbonate content from 62 to 65% (vs 68.9% PbCO3, theoretical).

3.4 Usage: Lead carbonate basic has a high refractive index and weather fastness, widely used in pigments, coatings, plastics, printing and dyeing, analysis reagents, etc .; for pigments, it is used for excellent pearlescent pigments; and it is also used to produce inorganic pigments with paint and pigments. In the printing and ink, it is used for packaging paper, business cards, plastic cloth, textiles and so on. As the possibility of leading to lead poisoning in the production and application, and the vulnerability to thicken when the paint is made by white lead, and the whiteness easily declining when contact with and hydrogen sulfide and other shortcomings, its application is limited. While the coating film produced by the lead white is more stable, with excellent weather resistance and rust resistance. In the paint industry, it is still used as the white pigments for the production of the original paint, anti-rust paint and outdoor paint; raw materials for ceramic glaze, painting and cosmetic; amino or acrylic baking finish of coating. Add 2% to 8%. It is used in painting with cars, motorcycles, bicycles, furniture and so on. In plastic, basic lead carbonate can be used as vinyl chloride plastic stabilizer for the production of pearlescent plastic, pearlescent paint and so on.

4. Safety and Handling

4.1 Other Preventative Measures: SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in a manner so that results in no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose of, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance procedures to confirm the efficacy of the cleaning procedures should be implemented prior to the decontaminated protective clothing being returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing (including shoes/socks) should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.
SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.
The worker should wash daily at the end of each work shift, and prior to eating, drinking, smoking, etc. /Lead/
Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed or replaced. /Lead/
Workers whose clothing may have become contaminated should change into uncontaminated clothing before leaving the work premises. /Lead/

Chemical Properties: Basic lead carbonate forms white hexagonal crystals; it decomposes when heated to 400 °C. It is insoluble in water and alcohol, slightly soluble in carbonated water, and soluble in nitric acid.

Uses: Lead(II) carbonate basic can be used as pigment in oil paints and water colors; in cements; for making putty and lead carbonate paper; in the processing of parchment.

Preparation: Many commercial processes have been developed for manufacturing basic lead carbonate. These include: Thomson-Stewart process, Carter process, and Dutch process. The method of preparation involves treating lead with acetic acid vapors in the presence of carbon dioxide at 60°C. In the Thomson-Stewart process, finely divided lead monoxide or lead metal is mixed with water to give aqueous slurry, which is then mixed with acetic acid in the presence of air and carbon dioxide. All these processes are slow, taking weeks to obtain products of desired composition.
Basic lead carbonate also is precipitated by dissolving lead monoxide in lead(II) acetate solution, and treating the solution with carbon dioxide. It also is produced by electrolysis of sodium nitrate or sodium acetate using lead anode and then precipitating out the product by adding sodium carbonate.
