Frequently Asked Questions
It is primarily used as a fluxing agent in the fire assay process for determining the gold, silver, and platinum content of ores.
Because it is used to measure gold, the litharge itself must contain almost zero gold (1 ppb) to avoid contaminating the sample and skewing results.
Our product is supplied as a fine, greenish-yellow powder for optimal reactivity and mixing.
We offer a variety of options including 25kg bags, 25kg pails, and 1,000kg bulk bags to meet different industrial needs.
High levels of these trace elements can cause spectral interference and inaccuracies; our product keeps these below 3 ppm to ensure purity.
While optimized for precious metal assay, our high-purity lead oxide is suitable for various basic chemical raw material applications requiring high assay quality.
