Lead: smelting, producing and classification-Metalpedia

A major and primary Lead mineral is galena (PbS) which comprises of 86.6% of lead. In order to smelt this mineral, a blast furnace is needed to be used. A blast furnace is an enormous oven which is used to accomplish the smelting processes. The process in which galena is smelted requires two important chemical reactions to occur within the furnace.

Froth Flotation (Sulphide & Oxide)

Some of the metals that can do the job are copper and lead. At a pH between 8-9 lead can activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. So the reason is during the flotation of the two there may be lead re dissolution from galena which may activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. It may best if you are doing bulk flotation of the two.
