All,
It would be useful to know if Peter's advice proves correct.
...and another lead hazard may be put to rest.
If so, others in the sugar industry may be informed.
Andrew.

You should write a book on lead. Have you already? Has anyone on the e-group written a book on lead?Elizabeth----- Original Message -----From: blakeint@...Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 9:14 PMSubject: Re: [LeadWorkers] Has anyone dealt with a lead poisoned sugar mill lab worker?Hi ElizabethLead acetate was used as a clarifying agent for cider in west country England in the 18th C with the natural consequences. Its use was replace with simple floccing agents such as ising glass in the 19th C.In the lab process you describe, the simple use of a couple of drops of a dispersion of an organic polyamide flocculant (e.g. Superfloc products of Cytec) followed by filtration or certification would give a perfectly clear non-toxic syrup, but it might not be as quick to work as the lead acetate.Best regardsPeter
