A process for the preparation of granules of low-melting-point metals which comprises spouting a melt of a low-melting-point metal in the form of fine streams in a gas phase under melt fracture-causing conditions and introducing the fine streams of the molten metal into a collecting liquid phase so that the speed of the molten metal fine streams just above the liquid face is 50 to 300 cm/sec is disclosed. According to this process, granules having a substantially spherical shape and being uniform in the size can be prepared very easily at high efficiency.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of lead compounds which comprises reacting lead monoxide according to the wet method with an inorganic acid or organic acid in the presence of hydroxylamine under such conditions that the initial pH value of the reaction system is not higher than 7. Lead monoxide according to the wet method has an excellent reactivity with an inorganic acid or organic acid, but it contains higher oxides such as lead dioxide and minium, which cause coloration in lead compound products. According to this process, this undesirable coloration can effectively prevented.
