SOLID COMPOSITION HAVING ENHANCED PHYSICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
A method of making a treating wash includes mixing brass granules with acetone, mixing carbon nanotube material, iron pyrite granules and copper granules in the acetone brass mixture, and straining the liquid from the remaining solid material. Methods of treating materials such as brass granules, iron pyrite granules, carbon nanotube material, and brass granules comprises washing the materials in the treating wash, followed by straining and drying the materials.
1 . A method for forming a lead electrode, comprising:
providing a batch of molten lead;
preparing a wash liquid comprising acetone, brass granules, carbon nanotube material, iron pyrite granules, and copper granules, mixed at high speed and strained;
treating brass granules with the wash liquid, and straining and drying the brass granules to form treated brass granules;
treating iron pyrite granules with the wash liquid, and straining and drying the brass granules to form treated iron pyrite granules;
treating copper granules with the wash liquid, and straining and drying the brass granules to form treated copper granules;
adding the treated brass granules, the treated iron pyrite granules, and the treated copper granules to the molten lead;
pouring the molten lead into a pour mold coated with a thin layer of brass granules;
allowing the lead to solidify into an ingot and then rolling the ingot in a pressure roller.
