LEAD NITRATE PURE
Lead Nitrate is a white or colorless, sand-like solid. It is used in making matches and special explosives,
in the dye and photography industries, and in process engraving.
Applications. Lead nitrate has been used as a heat stabiliser in nylon and polyesters, as a coating for photothermographic paper, and in rodenticides. In the gold cyanidation process, addition of lead(II) nitrate solution improves the leaching process.
Lead Nitrate is a white or colorless, sand-like solid. It is used in making matches and special explosives, in the dye and photography industries, and in process engraving. List because it is cited by OSHA, ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH, NTP, DEP, IARC and EPA.
When lead nitrate is heated it decomposes to form lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. From the reaction, we can see that lead nitrate decomposes on heating and forms lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
