PURIFICATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL LEAD
Year: 2024

The study of the complex method of deep purification of archaeological lead, developed at the NSC KIPT, is described. The obtained results on the refining and application of purified ancient lead are presented. Pilot batches of ancient Greek and Roman lead of purity &gt;99.9996...99.998 wt.% were produced for growing perfect crystals of archPbWO4 and archPbMoO4, that are used as scintillation detectors for recording rare events in modern lowbackground experiments. The most interesting experiment
