Production

In the Sherwin-Williams process, a lead nitrate solution is reacted with a solution of sodium dichromate, ammonium molybdate, and sulfuric acid [3.132]. Instead of ammonium molybdate, the corresponding tungsten salt can be used, giving a pigment based on lead tungstate. The pigment is stabilized by adding sodium silicate (25% SiO2) and aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3 -18 H2O) to the suspension, which is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. The pigment is filtered off, washed until free of electrolyte, dried, and ground. Treatment with silicate increases the oil absorption; it also improves light fastness and working properties.

In the Bayer process, molybdate red is formed from lead nitrate, potassium chro­mate, sodium sulfate, and ammonium molybdate [3.121]. The pigment is then sta­bilized by adding water glass (28% SiO2, 8.3% Na2O) to the suspension with stirring, followed by solid antimony trifluoride, stirring for 10 min, and further addition of water glass. The pH is adjusted to 7 with dilute sulfuric acid and the pigment is filtered off, washed free of electrolyte, dried, and ground.

To give the lead molybdate pigments very good stability to light, weathering, chem­ical attack, and temperature, the same methods are used as those for the stabilization of chrome yellow pigments (see Section 3.4.1) [3.118-3.126].
