12.6 Primary Lead Smelting. 12.6.1 General15. Lead is found naturally as a sulfide ore containing small amounts of copper, iron, zinc, precious metals, and other trace elements. The lead in this ore, typically after being concentrated at or near the mine (see Section 12.18), is processed into metallurgical lead at 4 facilities in the U. S.
The molten lead is tapped off from the base of the furnace and either cast into, typically, 4 tonne ingots or put into a 'holding kettle' which keeps the metal molten for the refining process. The product contains about 99.5% lead, the remaining 0.5% being mostly antimony and silver with smaller amounts of other metals, including gold.

Like other direct smelting processes, the KIVCET process eliminates sulfur in an initial oxidation stage in which the lead sulfide is oxidized to yield a high-lead slag. Lead is then produced in a second reduction stage.
