Pb-S The phase relations and thermodynamic properties of the lead-sulfur system are not well established. F r o m D T A experiments, Miller and K o m a r e k v suggested a flat liquidus around 1330 K whereas Kullerud I~ postulated a monotectic reaction. Kullerud's suggested phase diagram for the Pb-S system shows a miscibility gap in the concentration range, 0.25 < x s < 0.32 at 1473 K. O n the other hand, vapor pressure m e a s urements of Yazawa, et al, n over the P b - P b S solutions in the temperature range 1333 to 1473 K do not suggest the existence of a miscibility gap. For the present analysis, lead and lead sulfide are taken to be completely miscible in the liquid state at 1473 K. Schuhmann, e t al, 12 h a v e r e c e n t l y r e v i e w e d the t h e r -
