摘要: Extractability of zinc from two types of electric arc furnace (EAF) dusts containing 24.8%
and 16.8% of zinc respectively (denoted as Sample A and Sample B) were tested using direct
alkaline leaching followed by fusion of the resulting leaching residues with caustic soda.
The experimental results show that the extraction of zinc is heavily dependent on the
contents of iron in the dusts. The higher iron content, the lower extraction of zinc is
obtained. 53% and 38% of zinc can be extracted when both dusts were directly contacted with
5mol·L^-1 NaOH solution for 42h. The remaining zinc left in the leaching residues, which
supposed to be present as zinc ferrites, can be further leached when the residues were
fused with caustic soda. Quantitative extraction of zinc can be obtained from the leaching
residue of Sample A while only 85% from Sample B. The extractability of zinc from dusts wit
hvarious contents of iron is compared. The production flowsheet for zinc from the dusts
using the process proposed is discussed.
