  • In particular, it seemed the perfect alternative to lead monoxide (PbO, litharge), the white pigment in those "lead-based" paints you hear about.

  • For lead oxide, PbO, the choices are red lead, white lead or litharge.

    16. Glaze formula calculations 1993

  • The most common flux for temperatures below 1100°C is lead oxide (PbO), but since it is poisonous it is no longer used in modern crockery glazes.

    5. Simple glaze theory 1993

  • - The sum of K2O and Na2O should not exceed 0.5 molecular parts on the flux side, the rest being other fluxes like PbO, CaO, ZnO, BaO.

    16. Glaze formula calculations 1993

  • PbO + 2HNO_ {3} = Pb (NO_ {3}) _ {2} + H_ {2} O. 2.

  • Ag_ {2} S, PbO, Cu (OH) _ {2} (for solubilities, see last paragraph of chapter).

  • -- Lead is precipitated either as PbO_ {2} at the anode from a nitric acid solution or as metal at the cathode from an ammonium oxalate solution.

  • Boiled oil is linseed oil boiled with litharge (PbO) and white vitriol, which removes much of the fatty ingredient and gives it drying quality.

  • In further confirmation of the conclusion from these results, viz. that the nitrocelluloses with no tendency to combine with PbO are associated with acid products or by-products of the ester reaction combining with the oxide, the lead reagent was allowed to react in the presence of 90 p.ct. acetone.

  • Various estimations of the PbO fixed in this way have given numbers varying from 2 to 2.5 p. ct.
