First, lead dioxide in lead paste was reduced by glucose under hydrothermal conditions. Theeffects of the reaction time, glucose excess coefficient, temperature and pH on the hydrothermal reduction were systematicallyinvestigated. Under the optimized reduction conditions （i.e., temperature of 175 ℃, time of 120 min, glucose excess coefficient of3.0 and pH of 5.5）, 99.9% reduction ratio of lead dioxide is achieved, and only the PbO·PbSO4 and PbSO4 phases are observed in thereducing residue. Subsequently, the reducing residue is desulfurized in a NaOH solution, and approximately 99.40% of the sulfur isremoved. The main lead phase in the desulfurization residue is 3PbO·H2O.展开更多
