Thermal Processing of Jarosite Leach Residue for a Safe Disposable Slag and Valuable Metals Recovery

In electrolytic production of zinc, the iron levels in the solutions are controlled by precipitation of jarosite or goethite. These precipitates also co-precipitate unrecovered valuable metals (Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag) as well as elements of concern (As, Cd, Hg). After stabilization, the residues are traditi...
