Lead is, of course, a primary component in lead-acid batteries, whereas zinc is used in galvanized steel and as an activator in the vulcanization process for tires. The two metals are closely connected, starting with their mineralogical occurrence in combined lead-zinc ores (i.e., combination of mainly lead sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, and quartz)
Upon separation from metallics, plastics, and waste battery acids, pastes containing lead oxides and sulfates are processed through a smelting process that involves reduction using carbon to produce lead and slag. Lead occurs in nature predominantly as lead sulfide or galena (PbS), which is its sole primary source.

Lead and zinc can be produced pyrometal- lurgically or hydrometallurgically, depending on the type of ore used as a charge. In the pyromet- allurgical process, ore concentrate containing lead, zinc, or both is fed, in some cases after sin- tering, into a primary smelter.
On cooling the recirculating lead stream, crude zinc is released and separated by specific gravity from lead. The lead is then returned to the splash condenser. The smelting of lead and zinc includes oxidisation (sintering) and reduction stages. The main chemical reactions involved are 1.2. Why sintering
