The only way you can seperate the lead salts would be distillation of the sulphuric acid, which is not easy because of the temperatures needed. Or you could just concentrate the acid till the salts fall out of the acid.

Sulphuric acid is not needed to extract RP from matchboxes, it is sometimes used as a final wash.

I have seen sulphuric acid packaged seperatly from the batteries (motorbike batteries) in an autostore (you add the acid to the cell when required), this would not be contaminated with lead.
