Enhanced recovery of zinc and lead by slag composition …
High-efficiency recovery of Zn and Pb from silicon-rich zinc leaching residues is realized in a rotary kiln. Characterizations by means of XRD, SEM, EDS and ICP reveal that the leaching residue contains 12.4 wt.% SiO 2, 16.1 wt.% Zn, and 7.4 wt.% Pb.Thermodynamic analysis shows that metallic vapor of Zn and Pb can be easily …
