This chapter is a brief review of the past and future of the Zn extractionExtraction process. Firstly, the history of Zn extraction is given. Then pyro- and hydrometallurgical Zn production methods are covered. Fe removal processesFe removal processes are briefly...
Because zinc consumption rises and the high-grade zinc ore reserves decrease year by year, the secondary zinc resources have been paid close attention. The effect of sulfuric acid solution on the zinc recovery from industrial waste residue was studied in this paper.
Less well known is the fact that ammonium carbonate extraction was used for the commercial recovery of zinc decades before its application to either copper or nickel. This article reviews the published data on the Schnabel Process (the hydrometallurgical extraction of zinc by ammonium carbonate) covering the period of …

The extraction process of Zn from zinc-bearing dust mainly includes the pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and pyro-hydrometallurgical processes. The pyrometallurgical processes, such as rotary kiln and rotary hearth furnace have been widely used in the Zn extraction of zinc-bearing dust in the enterprise.
The synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles using a plant-mediated approach is presented in this paper. The nanoparticles were successfully synthesized …
The extraction of zinc from sulphate and perchlorate solutions at constant ionic strength, by di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid, DEHPA, in Isopar-H has been studied at 25°C as a function of metal ...
The basic steps in this process include (1) preparation of a zinc sulfate solution by leaching zinc oxide calcines (produced by the roasting of sulfide concentrates) in dilute sulfuric …
In the case of zinc extraction, the ore that is extracted from the earth's crust by mining is called Zinc Sulphide (ZnS). Extraction of Zinc metal in its pure form is a bit complex task when compared to the extraction of other metals. Because at the melting point of other metals Zn becomes gas which allows Zn to escape with other gases. The ...
The aim of the present study is to phyto-extract zinc, lead, nickel, and cadmium from zinc leach residue (ZLR)—as a metallurgical waste—by using Salicornia europaea plants. This study tried to introduce a new approach—which was common for remediation of contaminated soil and water—in order to recover and remove heavy …
The extraction of Zn and Mn from alkaline batteries by hydro- metallurgical processes has been studied with the aim to recover both Zn and Mn in the same leaching unit.

Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) formed during steelmaking in electric arc furnace is a hazardous solid waste that is rich in zinc and iron. In our previous study, we realized the efficient extraction and separation of Zn and Fe from EAFD by co-roasting with FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O followed by water leaching processes, which achieved a high …
The extraction of zinc from ores began late in history, mainly because of the fact that it tended to evaporate when smelting in the open was attempted. It was o...
