Abstract

The paper describes cementation as a suitable method applied in the refining of EAFD leachates in order to obtain required purity of ZnO for specific industrial application. For study of cementation conditions, the leachate from alkaline leaching with (NH4)2CO3 was used. The leachates contained a high amount of zinc (8000–12,000 µg/mL) and a low content of impurities such as iron, lead, copper, chromium and manganese in the range of 1–21 µg/mL. Cementation conditions were predicted by thermodynamic study, theoretically confirming the viability of the proposed experiments at the considered pH = 8–9. Cementation experiments were carried out using powdered zinc and aluminium (5 g/L) as cementation agents in the first phase separately. To increase the cementation efficiency, their combination was used (2.5:2.5 g/L or 5:5 g/L) at temperatures of 20, 40, 60 and 80 °C for 30 min. The optimum cementation conditions were established as: Zn:Al = 5:5 g/L, 60 °C. Under the given conditions, 100% of Fe, Cu, Pb and Mn were removed from the leachate. The ZnO with the maximum purity of 96.67% was obtained by crystallization of cemented leachate at 105 °C, followed by calcination at 900 °C for 4 h. ZnO with such a purity is suitable for use in the electrical or rubber industries.
