Quenching and annealing of lattice vacancies in pure lead
Lead (99.9999% pure by weight) wires were quenched.in a low temperature (s35 K), low-pressure (10-100 bars absolute) helium atmosphere. Initial quench rates were between 1 and 3X10 4 °C/sec. The formation energy for a lattice vacancy was determined to be 0.54+0.02 eV and the resistivity for one …

Sintering kinetics and properties of highly pure lead zirconate titanate ceramics
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) has been widely applied in actuators and sensors due to its excellent piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. However, impurities, one of the major problems involved in the mass production of PZT ceramics, have not attracted enough attention. In this thesis, …

The electrochemical behavior of the lead-thallium system in acidic sulfate solutions
… the literature involving the corrosion of pure lead in sulfuric acid solutions is extensive, such studies still constitute an active field of investigation and debate. Much of the effort expended on this subject is due to the need of a better understanding of the reaction in lead storage …

Fundamental studies of the behaviour of antimony in the lead-acid battery
… the technological problems associated with the lead-acid battery is the self-discharge of the negative plate as a result of the deposition of antimony onto the sponge lead electrode, a process known as 'Antimony Poisoning'. The rate of deposition (III) from aqueous sulphuric acid onto pure lead …

The oxidation kinetics of liquid lead and lead alloys
"Liquid lead and lead-silver alloys were investigated to determine the rates and products of oxidation in pure oxygen at temperatures of 350 to 600°C. The kinetic data were determined using a Cahn electro-balance. Liquid lead was found to follow a cubic rate of oxidation between 350 and 400°C. A …

Reconsidering Lead Corrosion in Drinking Water: Product Testing, Direct Chloramine Attack and Galvanic Corrosion
The ban on lead plumbing materials in the Safe Drinking Water Act (1986) and the EPA Lead and Copper Rule (1991) have successfully reduced lead contamination of potable water supplies. The success of these regulations gave rise to a belief that serious lead contamination was an important past …

Lead and Copper Contamination in Potable Water: Impacts of Redox Gradients, Water Age, Water Main Pipe Materials and Temperature
Potable water can become contaminated with lead and copper due to the corrosion of pipes, faucets, and fixtures. The US Environmental Protection Agency Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) is intended to target sampling at high-risk sites to help protect public health by minimizing lead and copper levels in …

Advancing Fundamental Understanding of Lead-Tin Solder Corrosion in Drinking Water: Nitrate Spallation Mechanism, Inhibition by Zinc Orthophosphate and Free Chlorine, and Implications for Canned Foods
Given rising concern over elevated lead in drinking water in the aftermath of the Flint Water Crisis, forthcoming revisions to the U.S. EPA Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), and federal funding designated for replacing lead service lines, lead-tin solder corrosion control will become increasingly …
