The formation of PbO2 is affected by the water chemistry. Lytle and Schock (9) studied PbO2 formation from lead(II) chloride solutions and found that higher pH favored the formation of scrutinyite and lower pH favored plattnerite. DIC is thought to play an important role in PbO2 formation. Is SnO acidicRead More →
