An Effective Approach to the Synthesis of Nanocrystalline PbMoO4 in Na2Mo4O13–PbCO3 Melts

Abstract

This paper presents thermodynamic analysis of reactions of sodium tetramolybdate with Pb₃O₄, PbO₂, PbO, and lead carbonate and describes an effective approach to PbMoO₄ synthesis in melts of the Na₂Mo₄O₁₃–PbCO₃ system, which offers a low synthesis temperature, waste-free character of the process, high rate, and high yield of a reagent-grade synthesis product in a nanocrystalline state. The synthesis product has been identified by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and particle size measurements.
