Introduction to Basic Lead Carbonate Drying

Basic lead carbonate (2PbCO₃·Pb(OH)₂), also known as lead white, is a historically significant compound used in pigments, ceramics, and coatings. Drying this material is critical to remove moisture or residual solvents, ensuring its stability, purity, and suitability for industrial applications. Due to its toxicity and sensitivity to environmental factors, controlled drying processes are essential to mitigate degradation and health risks.

Key Objectives of Drying

Moisture Removal: Eliminate water to prevent hydrolysis, which can alter the compound’s structure and reduce its opacity or pigment properties.

Stability Enhancement: Minimize decomposition into lead oxide (PbO) or other harmful byproducts caused by moisture or heat.

Improved Handling: Produce a free-flowing powder for precise formulation in paints, glazes, or specialty materials.

Safety Compliance: Reduce risks of dust generation and toxic exposure during storage and use.

Common Drying Methods
Flash Dryer :

High-Efficiency Drying Mechanism: XSG Series Spin Flash Dryer employs a tangential air inlet and a high-speed stirrer to create a powerful rotating wind field. This ensures efficient heat transfer and uniform drying of paste, cake, and slurry materials.
Advanced Material Processing: The equipment processes raw materials through a combination of cutting, shearing, blowing, floating, and rotating actions, transforming them into granulated form. This enhances material separation and strengthens the heating exchange process.
