| Fluxing agents include lead oxide or litharge which is used as a collector of precious metals. |
|
| Red lead is produced by heating litharge at a carefully controlled temperature, lower than that used for the manufacture of litharge. |
|
| Black oxide is a mixture of litharge and finely divided metallic lead and is primarily used in batteries. |
|
| The largest single use of litharge, sometimes blended with red lead and other additives, is as a paste material for storage batteries. |
|
| Some assay beads disappear, collapse, hide under the surface, or spread out flat while being cupelled, just as the last tiny bit of liquid litharge is driven off. |
|
| De Abano in the fourteenth century included mercury, copper, lapis lazuli, arsenic sublimate, litharge, nux vomica, laurel berries, and hellebore in his De Remedis Venenorum. |
|
| Very high purity litharge is widely used in the production of glass, including television picture tubes and computer video display terminals, where lead's shielding powers block otherwise harmful radiation. |
|
| Today it is produced by several different methods, including chemical precipitation from a slurry of litharge in water containing a small amount of acetic acid. |
|
| It works with both powder and granular litharge. |
|
| The lead oxidises to lead monoxide, then known as litharge, which captures the oxygen from the other metals present. |
|
| Then the neck is rubbed with cold water and smeared with litharge. |
|
| The project consumed quantities of mercury, golden litharge, and tin. |
|
| Litharge and sugar of lead are used to-day only rarely as drying agents, having been displaced by the liquid manganese siccatives, which are easy to handle. |
