Abstract

See full text

A method for recovering zinc from slag derived from lead smelting comprises subjecting the slag to a leaching step under conditions in which zinc is dissolved into solution and silica present in the slag dissolves and re-precipitates in a form that is readily separable from liquid, and recovering zinc from the solution. The slag may be subjected to leaching in at least two stages in which in a first leaching stage only part of the zinc is removed from the slag and further zinc leaching from the slag occurs in a second stage to form a pregnant leaching solution and recovering zinc from the solution. The method may be used to remove SO2 from a gas stream by using the SO2-containing gas stream to leach a slurry of the slag.
