Utilizing Iron Residues from Zinc Production in the U.S.S.R.
Abstract
When zinc calcine leach residues are subjected to conventional hydro-metallurgical treatment, iron is removed from the production circuit in the
form of jarosite or goethite. A combined hydrometallurgical treatment of zinc calcine and zinc oxide fume leach residues applied at a zinc plant
in the U.S.S.R. produces potassium jarosite containing undesirable impurities of 1.52.0 wt.% Zn, 0.20.3 wt.% Cu, 0.20.6 wt.% Pb, 0.005
0.01 wt. % Cd and 2729 wt. % Fe. After some study, it was found that low-contaminant jarosite can be used in iron-oxide pigments and in
cement clinker production. Methods for manufacturing such products have been developed and tested on a pilot-plant scale, and commercial tests
are in progress. The investigations carried out for low-contaminantjarosite utilization resulted not only in the development of a wasteless and
environmentally acceptable technology for zinc calcine treatment, but made it possible to recover one more valuable componentironfrom
zinc raw materials.
