Abstract

A new concept has been developed for the production of zinc from zinc and complex zinc concentrates. It is a two-stage process involving oxidation of zinc sulfide to oxide and dissolution into slag and the fuming of zinc from the slag by injecting carbonaceous materials into it to produce zinc vapors which can be subsequently condensed in a lead-splash condenser such as those used in the Imperial Smelting Process (ISP). In this paper, the effects of the quantity of air, temperature, and concentrate feed rate have been discussed on the production of zinc-rich slag, which is the first stage of the proposed process.
