I'm not sure about this; smelting lead is generally done in a blast furnace, fed with coke. Burning that coke is going to produce a ton of CO2. Is that good enough because the carbon in the coke is all very old? (Searching for information relating to C-14 and coal lead me to a bunch of wacko new earth creationist websites claiming that carbon dating indicates coal is young...) Also, maybe this isn't really a concern, but "high temperature and pure oxygen" makes me think "metal fire." |
