production method | 1. Pure hydrochloric acid with a relative density of 1.19 is diluted to a concentration of 0.37% with water, heated to boiling, then pure lead carbonate is dissolved therein (to excess hydrochloric acid), the solution is cooled to 0-15OC crystallization, lead dichloride crystals were filtered off by suction, washed with a small amount of ice water, and then dried at 40 oC to obtain a finished product. 2. Dissolve lead acetate trihydrate with hot water to make a solution with a content of about 28%, add industrial lead oxide, heat, boil and stir until dissolved, filter out insoluble matter, pure hydrochloric acid with a relative density of 1.19 (n = 5) was added to carry out the reaction. After the reaction is finished, let stand until the precipitation is complete, separate the solution and crystallization, and wash the crystals to be qualified by Suction filtration and cold water; Add a small amount of lead oxide to the solution and heat it until it is dissolved, the insoluble matter is filtered off, and then the above pure hydrochloric acid is added for reaction, and the crystal is completely allowed to stand still. After Suction filtration, the crystal is washed with cold water until it is qualified, and the crystal obtained before and after the combination is dried at about 30oC to be the finished product. 3.15ml of chemically pure hydrochloric acid (relative density 1.19) was diluted with ml of water and heated to boiling, and 15g of analytical pure lead carbonate was dissolved therein. After the resulting solution was cooled to 0-5 °c, the lead chloride crystals were suction filtered with a Buchner funnel, washed with 5-10ml of ice water, and then dried below 40 °c, to prevent partial hydrolysis of the product to the basic salt. Yield 13G, yield 85%. 4. Dissolve 40g of chemically pure PbAc2 · 3H2O in 80ml of hot water, add 15g of industrial pure PbO, boil until dissolved, and filter. 34ml of chemically pure hydrochloric acid (relative density 1.19) was added to the filtrate, stirred and allowed to stand. The upper layer was clarified and the solution was poured out for use. The PbCl2 precipitate was filtered with suction using a Buchner funnel and washed with 15ml of cold water. To the decanted solution was added 25g of PbO, heated until dissolved and filtered. To the filtrate, 25ml of hydrochloric acid (relative density 1.19) was added to precipitate crystals, which were collected by Suction filtration and washed with 10 to 15ml of cold water. The two crystals obtained were combined and dried at 25-35 °c. Yield 75g, yield 96%. PbCl2 can be refined by sublimation. |
