==Description==
Heavy soft grey solid material.<br><br>
The natural pure [[lead]] is rare. Today, the lead mainly smelt and extract together with zinc, silver and copper and other metals. The most important lead ore is the [[galena]] PbS, which the [[lead]] reaches 86.6%. Other common lead-containing [[minerals]] are PbCO3 and PbSO4. And the world's largest lead producing country is China, the United States, Australia, Russia and Canada. Today, more than half of the lead is from recycled.<br><br>
Most [[ores]] contain much less than 10% lead, and ores containing as small as 3% lead may be economically exploited. Ores are crushed and concentrated by froth flotation ordinarily to 70% or more. When lead is exploited to the floor, it should certainly be crushed or grinded for its additional application. <br><br>
