Zinc Stripping from Steelwork Dust

چکیده
Recycling is extremely important for steelmaking. In developed countries, about 60% of steel is manufactured from scrap. The scrap contains 0.5% of zinc in average, and this percentage steadily increases. During the steelmaking process both in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) and in electric arc furnaces (EAF), all volatile zinc is released and forms airborne particles of dust. About 20 kg of dust is produced per 1 t of steel. A conservative estimate is that 10 Mt of the dust is produced yearly throughout the world. It contains about 1.5 Mt of zinc, which is still mostly dumped as a dangerous waste. This paper present a method of zinc recycling employing gaseous hydrogen chloride at 900 °C.

Solvent extraction and stripping of zinc from synthetic chloride solution in presence of manganese and cadmium as impurities
In this research work, solvent extraction and stripping of zinc ions from a Zn-Mn-Cd-bearing solution was investigated using D2EHPA as the extractant in a chloride medium. The efficiency of the extraction and stripping stages was evaluated separately, and different parameters such as the pH, extractant concentration, reaction temperature, and contact time were studied. Based on the results obta...
متن کاملA KINETIC STUDY ON THE CARBOTHERMIC REDUCTION OF ZINC OXIDE FROM ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE DUST
In the present study, reduction of zinc oxide from the pellets made of steelmaking electric arc furnace dust has been investigated. Effects of such parameters as the type of carbon material (graphite, coke and charcoal) as well as time and temperature on the reduction reaction have been examined. The reduced (dimensionless) time method was applied to perform a kinetic analysis of the system. Ex...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Infant formula by anodic stripping voltammetry
Determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. Long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

Macrophages from mice were cultured at 37 degrees C with 1640 medium containing 10% bovine serum. The macrophage suspension was made from 50 Swiss mice and was cultured in the following groups: control group; coal dust group (with added coal dust particles (10 micrograms/ml) smaller than 4 microns diameter); subdivided zinc-coal dust group (as coal dust group with zinc added in three different ...
