developed for high temperature sulfidation of lead and zinc oxide compounds in a non oxidizing atmosphere The results of a technical and economic assessment of the processing of zinc oligonite ore with sulfidation roasting and subsequent enrichment of the cinder are presented The economic effect is achieved by increasing the extraction
At this time lead sulfate as the main material in the leaching residue Pb accounted for % of the total leaching residue while Zn content decreased to % indicating that lead is almost insoluble enriched in the leaching residue can be returned to lead smelting process to recover lead Much of the zinc is dissolved and residual
Approximately 29 million tons lead zinc tailings were produced in China in 2009 according the pollutant generation and discharge coefficients of lead and zinc mine exploitation National Census of Pollution Source Compilation Committee 2011 Lead zinc tailings contain many heavy metals and sulfides which produce acid mine drainage AMD and cause serious
Fig 10 shows that the lead slag in different roasting times under the roasting object image is different in the roasting time of 30 min lead slag raw ore in part of the iron containing minerals are reduced to metallic iron with the increase in the roasting time of the metallic iron material phase of the peak is more and more obvious
Scheme of the extraction of lead and zinc process from the oxidizing roasting cinder Effect of leaching temperature a and fineness b on the leaching efficiency of zinc and the metal grades in
This paper proposes an integrated and efficient hydrometallurgical process to recover valuable elements from roasted sand of WPCB SA The process flow is shown in Fig research includes the following aspects separation of copper and zinc by water leaching selective leaching of lead by high chlorine system and enrichment of lead chloride by cooling
The main equipment process Ausmelt Technology For Lead and Zinc Processing Lead and Zinc 2008 2 The majority of this zinc production is produced via the Roast Leach Elec trowinning RLE
The world reserves of oxidized lead zinc ores are large but their processing faces significant difficulties due to their refractory nature This paper presents a novel approach to the preparation of refractory oxidized lead ores for flotation The proposed method is based on the co roasting of oxidized lead bearing ores from the Ozernoye polymetallic deposit Western
Fig 10 shows that the lead slag in different roasting times under the roasting object image is different in the roasting time of 30 min lead slag raw ore in part of the iron containing minerals are reduced to metallic iron with the increase in the roasting time of the metallic iron material phase of the peak is more and more obvious
cooled to room temperature Then the lead zinc sulfur total iron and metallic iron content in roasting pellets were analyzed by chemical method The recovery of lead and zinc in this study is represented by volatilization rate of lead and zinc The volatilization rates of lead zinc and sulfur were calculated according to equation V=1−
This is demonstrated in this paper through the following lead zinc smelting process examples the innovative and industrialized zinc oxygen pressure leaching process and associated equipment; the research and development and upgrading of three continuous furnace bath smelting technologies and associated equipment and by the introduction
tions of sulphidizing roasting process of the oxide lead zinc ore of the magnitude of 1 0 mm are as follows the temperature is 600 650 өС; the duration of roasting is 20 30 minutes;
Roasting process plays a major role in removing impurities such as sulphur Therefore the roasting temperature becomes an important factor for the reduction and removal of lead and zinc When the roasting temperature was 900 °C 1000 °C the amount of coal reductant powder used was 11% However when the roasting temperature was 1050
Lead and Zinc Smelting Industry Description and Practices Lead and zinc can be produced pyrometal lurgically or hydrometallurgically depending on the type of ore used as a charge In the pyromet allurgical process ore concentrate containing lead zinc or both is fed in some cases after sin tering into a primary smelter Lead concentra
Increasing efficiency is a necessary target for an industrial roaster nowadays This thesis presents some studies on efficiency improvement in the zinc roasting process process characterisation control design implementation and testing The thesis focuses on the roaster on research regarding the phenomena in the roaster furnace By learning more about the roasting
The commonly used equipment for roasting of zinc sulfide concentrate is fluidized bed furnace The roasting temperature in the fluidized bed is usually 850 900 °C and excess air coefficient is The iron lead slag is delivered to the lead smelting process to recover lead and zinc In 1981 the first zinc concentrate pressurized
