Abstract
Previously published methods for the preparation of high purity lead are critically reviewed. The presumably more effective of these methods were subjected to trial and analytical evaluation. Based on these analytical results, a combination of procedures is described which produces lead of extremely high purity. The method employed involves electrolytic displacement of bismuth and other elements from lead salt in solution by treatment with lead metal, coprecipitation of numerous impurities on lead sulfide, conversion to metal, and final vacuum distillation.
