"Kahlenberg and Hillyer have shown that lead oxide (PbO) dissolves in neutral potassium tartrate to form a strongly alkaline solution in which the ratio of potassium to lead is 1:1. Since this solution shows a very low concentration of lead ion it might be expected to give a smooth and adherent cathode deposit. The purpose of this thesis is to determine its possible applicability as a refining electrolyte" – p. 1.
