Zinc Removal with Sulfur Report
Well I got up this morning in search of sulfur and found some. So I ran home set up my smelting pot and turkey fryer and started melting 40 of my 80lbs of zincified lead. Warning, Warming, Warning Sulfur is combustible and did ignite after all the moisture sizzled out and the fumes are real bad. I was up wind with a nice easy breeze but some swirreled around an hit me. It was an acid phosgene type smell and my nostrils burned for about 10 minutes. Good news is it does seem to have worked. After doing all of this I melted some of the lead into my bottom pour pot that I had just cleaned out real well so as not to re-contaminate and casted some of the pettiest boolits I have in a long time. Here are some pics of what came out of 40lbs of lead and some boolits from that lead. The slag/Zinc that came out weighed 4lbs 9oz.
