Lead bearing ores are the primary source of lead, a versatile metal used in various industries worldwide. The demand for lead has been steadily increasing, driven by its exceptional properties, such as malleability, density, and corrosion resistance.
Lead bearing ores are naturally occurring minerals that contain lead in various forms. The most common lead bearing ore is galena, a lead sulfide mineral known for its high lead content and metallic luster. Other lead bearing ores include cerussite (lead carbonate) and anglesite (lead sulfate).
Lead bearing ores play a significant role in modern industries. Lead is used in the production of:
Extracting lead from lead bearing ores offers numerous advantages:
