What reading level is Metals Their Properties And Treatment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another method of improving very hard lead consists in melting it, as above, in a cast-iron pan, and throwing upon the skimmed surface a small quantity of a mixture of Peru- vian saltpetre (nitrate of soda), soda and lime, the addition being repeated until the metal is sufficiently softened ; the oxygen of the saltpetre converts the antimony into antimonic acid which combines with the soda and lime, and is removed as dross, together with a considerable quantity of oxide of lead Refining of Lead... containing Silver by Pattinson's Process. This very simple and beautiful process, which was introduced in 1829, has not only greatly improved the quality of lead, but has very much increased the production of silver in England; previously to that date no process existed by which the silver could be removed so as to leave the lead in the metallic state, and it was necessary to convert the whole of the lead into an oxide in order to separate the silver, this oxide being afterwards smelted to recover the lead.
