Lead, Zinc Ore from Nigeria
Zinc ore occurs in two types of deposit: as primary zinc ore in thin veins known as rakes, or a secondary deposit formed by weathering of the primary mineral veins. Zinc ore is most commonly found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), known as calamine or smithsonite. It generally occurs as rounded, crystalline crusts or granular, honeycombed masses that have a vitreous or pearly luster and are typically dirty brown or grey in colour. Locally it was known as â??dry boneâ?? ore, having a cellular to spongy appearance reminiscent of dry bone. Calamine is actually a secondary mineral, found principally in the oxidized zone of the zinc-bearing ore deposits. It is derived from the alteration of the primary zinc sulphide (ZnS) mineral sphalerite. This is generally a dark grey or black, highly lustrous mineral, but can vary in appearance. Both occur on Mendip. Its chief use was to make brass by mixing with copper.
We are engaged in making Lead available in several forms including LME registered and non registered 99.97% and 99.99% as well as secondary ingots, foil, granules, powder, rod, shot, sheet, and wire. Lead is a bluish-white lustrous metal. It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a relatively poor conductor of electricity. It is very resistant to corrosion but tarnishes upon exposure to air. Alloys include pewter and solder.
Lead slag produced from rotary furnace lead percentage is 20 to 25%
Lead powder and lead concentrate are different forms of lead that serve various industrial purposes. Here's an overview of each: Lead Powder: Form: Lead powder refers to finely ground particles of lead metal, typically in powder or granular form. Uses: Battery Manufacturing: Lead powder is often used in the production of lead-acid batteries. Radiation Shielding: Lead is known for its ability to absorb and shield against radiation, and lead powder can be used in various applications where radiation protection is required. Ammunition: Lead powder is a component in the production of ammunition and bullets. Metal Coatings: It may be used in the manufacturing of certain types of paints and coatings. Lead Concentrate: Form: Lead concentrate is a raw material derived from the mining and processing of lead ores. It is not a pure form of lead but rather a mixture containing lead and other minerals. Composition: Lead concentrate typically contains lead sulfide (galena) as the primary mineral, along with other sulfide minerals. Processing: The lead concentrate is further processed through smelting to extract pure lead metal. Uses: Lead concentrate is a crucial intermediate product in the production of refined lead. It is an essential raw material for lead smelters, where the lead is separated from impurities and processed into the desired forms. Lead concentrate may also contain valuable by-products such as silver and zinc.
We offer a wide plethora of Zinc in many forms including LME registered and non registered Special High Grade Ingots and Jumbos, cathodes, dust, foil, granules, powder, pieces, anodize activated powder, shot, and a mossy form. Zinc is a bluish-white, lustrous metal. It is brittle at ambient temperatures but is malleable at 100 to 150°C. It is a reasonable conductor of electricity, and burns in air at high red heat with evolution of white clouds of the oxide. Plating thin layers of zinc on to iron or steel is known as galvanizing and helps to protect the iron from corrosion.
