Chemical Property/Description:
Property: Yellow powder or granules. Relative density 9.53; Melting point 886 ºC; Boiling point 1470 ºC. When heated above 300 ºC, it turns into lead tetroxide, and when further heated, it turns back into lead monoxide. Insoluble in water and ethanol, soluble in nitric acid, alkaline solution, ammonium chloride; Can undergo hardening reaction with glycerol. Under heating, lead monoxide is easily reduced to metallic lead by hydrogen, carbon, carbon monoxide, etc.
Main Uses:
The use of lead oxide:
1, Pharmaceutical field
a. External application for treating skin problems: used for wounds such as skin ulcers, burns, and bedsores, promoting wound healing through bactericidal and astringent effects. Directly sprinkle on the surface of the wound or prepare it as a plaster to reduce the risk of infection and accelerate tissue repair.
b. Preparation of plaster: As a traditional plaster matrix, it increases viscosity to enhance skin adhesion and stabilize drug release. Combined with vegetable oil to form colloids, it prolongs the duration of pharmacological effects (such as treating ulcers and eczema).
c. Antibacterial and hemostatic: Inhibits bacterial growth, reduces the risk of wound suppuration, especially suitable for open wounds. After external application, a protective film quickly forms, reducing bleeding and preventing contamination.
2, Application of Traditional Medicine
a. Oral treatment: It was once used for reducing phlegm, calming the nerves, and stopping malaria (such as epilepsy and malaria), but due to lead toxicity, it is now rarely taken orally. A small amount is used for parasitic diseases such as insect accumulation and abdominal pain.
3. Industrial use of lead oxide
a. Coatings and Paint Industry
Drying agent: As a drying agent for paints and coatings, it accelerates coating curing and enhances adhesion.
Rust proof pigment: Red lead (lead tetroxide) is used to manufacture rust proof paint, which protects metal surfaces (such as steel structures and ships) through chemical passivation.
b. Glass and Ceramic Manufacturing
Optical glass: Lead monoxide is used to improve the refractive index and heat resistance of glass, and is suitable for optical instruments, fluorescent tubes, etc.
Ceramic glaze: As a component of glaze, it enhances the glossiness and chemical corrosion resistance of ceramics.
c. Rubber and Plastic Industry
Stabilizer: Lead monoxide is used as a rubber vulcanization accelerator and a plastic heat stabilizer to improve the weather resistance and anti-aging performance of materials.
Filler: Used as a functional filler in rubber products to improve mechanical strength.
d. Battery manufacturing
Lead acid batteries: Lead dioxide is used as an electrode material in lead-acid batteries to improve conductivity and cycle life (such as automotive batteries).
Electrode preparation: Lead monoxide is used for filling the grid electrodes of lead-acid batteries.
e. Metallurgy and Chemical Industry
Flux: used in metal smelting to lower the melting point and promote metal separation (such as lead and copper extraction).
Lead salt production: used as raw materials to prepare compounds such as lead nitrate and lead silicate, which are used in fields such as electroplating and catalysts.
f. Electronic industry
Piezoelectric components: Lead trioxide is used to manufacture piezoelectric ceramics, applied in sensors, electronic filters, etc.
Magnetic materials: Lead monoxide participates in the synthesis of magnetic materials to enhance the performance of electronic components.
g. Corrosion prevention and surface treatment
Metal anti-corrosion: Lead dioxide coating on metal surfaces to improve corrosion resistance (such as bridges and pipelines).
Wood anti-corrosion: used as a wood preservative to inhibit fungal and bacterial erosion.
