SECONDARY LEAD

 As previously stated, some scrap lead is treated at primary plants, but
the greater part is refined at a large number of plants that operate exclusively
on secondary materials Secondary lead is recovered in the form of refined
lead, antimornal lead, other ~il1oys, and chemicals Recovery at primary and
other plants in 1940 and 1941 is shown in the following table. Secondary
lead recovered in 1941 totaled 53 percent more than in 1940 and was equivalent
to 84 percent of the domestic refined primary lead output. Further details
appear in the chapter on Secondary Metals—Nonferrous

LEAD PIGMENTS

 Lead pigments manufactured in 1941 contained 273,315 tons of lead—a
28-percent increase above 1940. Of the 248,674 tons of lead jn pigments derived
from refined pig lead, litharge contained 45 percent, white lead 35 percent,
red lead 19 percent, and sublimed lead, leaded zh~c oxide, and orange mineral
1 percent. Leaded zinc oxide and sublimed lead are the principal pigments
of which.the lead content is derived from ores. Details of production and
consumption of lead pigments are given in the chapter on Lead and Zinc Pigments
and Zinc Salts.
