Lead Smelting . Lead smelting is the industrial process of extracting lead metal from ores or mixed scrap, usually by heating, with added materials. In primary smelting, lead is separated from collected ore materials in a series of steps that separate lead from other metals and then purify the metal.

What is smelting of ore? Smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy to produce a metal from its ore. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind. The reducing agent is commonly a source of carbon such as coke, charcoal, and coal.
