Abstract
Abstract Greater uniformity of particle size and free-running properties are achieved in the production of granular material for lead storage battery electrodes by adding water or sulfuric acid to a mixture of granules of lead and lead oxide to produce a paste which is pressed through a foraminous body such as a filter cloth and the resulting granules dried by permitting free fall through a heated gaseous drying medium. Novel apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
44 words
A method for producing active granular material for lead storage battery electrodes which comprises forming a paste from a moistened mixture of lead and lead oxide particles, forcing the resulting paste through a foraminous body, an drying the resulting granular material during free fall.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
44 words
A method for producing active granular material for lead storage battery electrodes which comprises forming a paste from a moistened mixture of lead and lead oxide particles, forcing the resulting paste through a foraminous body, an drying the resulting granular material during free fall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the mixture of lead and lead oxide is moistened with water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the mixture of lead and lead oxide is moistened with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein drying occurs in a nonoxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process as in claim 4 wherein the nonoxidizing atmosphere comprises hot combustion gases.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as in claim 5 wherein the hot combustion gases contain a maximum of 2% oxygen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as in claim 5 wherein drying takes place at a temperature of about from 350° to 450°C.
