<p>A reactor for partially oxidizing molten lead with air to produce lead oxide with a high free-lead content includes a chamber, a variable speed rotatable stirrer positioned in the chamber, an air inlet venturi extending into the chamber and inclined from the vertical in the direction of rotation of the stirrer, a spout for introducing molten lead into the chamber, a deflector mounted upstream of the spout with respect to the direction of rotation of the stirrer, an exhaust duct for the lead oxide extending into the chamber, being substantially aligned with the vertical axis of the chamber and having adjustable holes communicating with the atmosphere, means for cooling the chamber and means for creating a sub-atmospheric pressure in the chamber.</p> |
