METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF ZINC BY UTILIZING LEAD PLANT SLAG
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the field of pyro metallurgy, and in particular relates to increasing yield of zinc by utilization of lead plant slag and moore cake obtained from one or more sources.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, with the rapid growth of economy and a worldwide development has led to an increase in demand for various raw materials including zinc and lead. Moreover, zinc and lead are valuable metals which can be extracted by performing various techniques by utilizing various ores containing zinc and iron. Nowadays, various industries are employed in the production of zinc and lead in order to meet the never ending demand of zinc and lead. Traditionally, the production of zinc and lead is carried out by performing hydrometallurgy or pyro metallurgy of one or more ores having lead and zinc as an ingredient.
Moreover, the production of zinc and lead is also carried out by utilizing various waste materials enriched in zinc and lead. These waste materials are reprocessed or recycled to recover various valuable metals like zinc and lead. However, the current methods for the production of zinc and lead are quite expensive and therefore difficult to put into practical use in industry. In addition, it is a natural tendency to throw away the waste materials in various landfills which leads to land pollution and water pollution. The increase and disposal of waste has become a nation-wide problem in regards to its effects on environment. There is an urgent demand for promoting recovery of resource from these waste materials.
Going further, one of the crucial waste products which has been utilized by various industries in the hydrometallurgy of zinc is moore cake. The moore cake is used as an input for extracting zinc and lead by performing the pyro-metallurgical recovery process. Currently, zinc hydro-metallurgy is a prime producer of the moore cake which utilizes the roast-leach-electrolysis route. Moreover, neutral leaching, acid leaching, pre-neutralization and Jarosite precipitation are the sub-sections in leaching section of the roast leach electrolysis route. In addition, zinc recoveries were as low as 85 % of the potential zinc enrichment and the moore cake was considered as a final waste from the leaching section
before invention of Jarosite precipitation. Further, with no technique being developed at that time for recovery of zinc from the moore cake, the moore cake with a 4-11% zinc and 2-6% lead was disposed in secured land fill. In 2005, for improving environmental sustainability, a Moore Cake Treatment Plant (MCTP) was setup to recover metal present in moore cake with a focus on lead recovery by performing treatment of the moore cake.
Typically, the treatment of moore cake is done in a rotary kiln by supplying the moore cake as an input along with other materials in order to extract zinc and lead from the moore cake. Moreover, the treatment of moore cake is performed in a moore cake treatment plant. However, current availability of good quality moore cake has decreased considerably over a period of time. In addition, content of zinc and lead in poor quality moore cake is not sufficient enough for obtaining a higher yield of zinc and lead.
Further, there is a need for various other secondary materials which could be utilized for the production of zinc and lead along with the moore cake in the rotary kiln. Furthermore, these secondary materials should contain a high percentage of zinc and lead in order for enabling a higher yield of zinc and lead. The secondary materials may be obtained from various numbers of sources or processes providing zinc and lead as waste residue. Moreover, one of the few sources producing zinc and lead as a waste product is the lead smelting process. In addition, the waste product produced from the smelting of lead contains a higher percentage of lead and zinc which could be utilized for the extraction of zinc and lead. However, the waste product from the lead smelting is dumped in landfills which results in increase of land and water pollution and causing substantial damage to the environment.
Several methods and systems are known in the art for the production or recovery of zinc. One such method allows the recovery of zinc from one or more zinc bearing materials mixed with a reducing agent in a dc arc furnace in which the zinc is volatilized and collected in a suitable form. Another such method involves the production of zinc oxide and pig iron by utilizing cinder and slag containing zinc, iron and lead in the rotary kiln. Yet another method utilizes one or more secondary materials containing iron, zinc and lead along with reactive fine-grained carbon carrier in a rotary tubular furnace. The one or more secondary materials are preferable steel making dusts. Yet another method involves the utilization of iron dust in a shaft furnace for recovering valuable metals such as zinc and lead.
The present systems and methods for the production or recovery of zinc from waste materials such as moore cake are inefficient. Moreover, the present systems and methods do not utilize the waste products from lead smelting along with moore cake for the recovery of zinc and lead. In addition, the present systems and methods for the production or recovery of zinc and lead from waste materials have a high cost of production. Further, the waste materials from the lead smelting are thrown away which leads to an increase in land and water pollution. Furthermore, the present systems and methods for the recovery of zinc and lead do not provide a higher throughput. Moreover, the use of furnace oil for heating the one or more materials in the rotary kiln for the recovery of zinc and lead leads to a high content of sulphur in the final product.
In light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for a method and system that
overcomes the above stated disadvantages.
