Zinc sulfide concentrate mainly contains zinc and iron, of which the iron content is about 5–15%. During Zn hydrometallurgy, the iron in the concentrate is one of the key concerns in the selection of Zn metallurgical process as it will determine the length of the process, and will directly affect the zinc leaching rate and the comprehensive recovery methods and effect of the …

In two-stage zinc pressure leaching process, zinc calcine is used to neutralize the acid pressure leaching solution. The residue usually contains a certain amount of zinc, iron, and other elements.
Four iron precipitation processes have been commercialized: the jarosite process; the goethite process; the paragoethite process; and the hematite process. The paper describes the commercial applications of the Sherritt Zinc Pressure Leach Process and its integration with the commercially applied iron precipitation processes.

or goethite. As a result of the precise control of iron oxidation and the acidity of the process solution, iron precipitation is carried out either during or after the leaching process, depending on the needs of the customer. Zinc calcine leaching Zinc calcine produced in roasting contains zinc oxide and zinc ferrite.
In two-stage zinc pressure leaching process, zinc calcine is used to neutralize the acid pressure leaching solution. The residue usually contains a certain amount of zinc, iron, …
In the zinc plant, zinc concentrates are roasted to produce calcine, which is then processed in the leaching circuit for zinc recovery. Calcine is first dissolved at pH <2.0. This is …
A key feature of the successful leaching operation is the presence of iron in solution, which facilitates oxygen transfer in the autoclaves and enables rapid oxidation of zinc sulphide …

Autoclave leaching of zinc concentrate (Sphalerite) is an environmentally friendly process compared to roasting, which discharges pollutants into the atmosphere. Due to the amount of iron in the final product, a study is proposed to evaluate different reagents for eliminating iron from the autoclave outcome, minimizing Zn losses. The colloid formation, zinc losses, iron removal, …

The first commercial application of the Sherritt two-stage zinc pressure leach process commenced operation at the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company metallurgical complex in Flin Flon, Manitoba (Canada), on July 2, 1993. The start-up was relatively smooth, and full design rate for the plant was achieved by September 12, 1993. Since that time, zinc …
Dissolved iron exerts significant effects on mineral leaching, impurity removal, and solution purification in the zinc hydrometallurgy process.
