Question

An application of Lead-silver system is___
process?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pattinson's Process is the method which is usually adopted for desilverising lead, and is so effectual that silver, if present in the lead to the extent of only two or three ounces to the ton, may be profitably extracted.

Answer 2

An application of the Lead-silver system is Pattinson's process.

Pattinson's process is the process used for the desilverization of lead. This method is used for purifying lead and removing silver from it.

this process is based on the fact that the lead with the least silver in it will solidify first on liquefication, leaving the rich silver behind. In this process the molten lead is slowly cooled, the crystals with less silver solidify first and the silver is separated from lead.

Therefore Pattinson's process is an application of the lead-silver system.
