Extract

This investigation was undertaken in response to an enquiry respecting the value of lead nitrate as a source of nitrogen for manurial purposes. The ordinary commercial outlets for lead nitrate at the present time are in the manufacture of paper, printing ink and paint, also, in calico printing, where it is employed as a mordant. In the early stages of the War it was used as a shell-filling compound. Scrap lead is generally employed for its manufacture; a process which is protected by several patents. The trade in this commodity is relatively small.
