Keywords: Pyrometallurgy, zinc, electrowinning Abstract - Zincor has been producing zinc since 1969 via the roast-leach-electrowinning process. It is the only primary zinc producer in South Africa, and currently supplies the entire country with zinc. The plant was built by Goldfields of South Africa, on the site of an old gold and uranium mine.

Electrowinning is the final step in the electrolytic processing of zinc and accounts for approximately 13 million tons of zinc produced per year worldwide. 1 An electrolyte loaded with 50 to 65 g/L zinc sulfate is passed in to an electrochemical cell, where the zinc ions are deposited on to a cathode by passing a current through the cell. Zinc electrowinning is a complex process …

Recognized methods of elution of strong-base resins use zinc cyanide, ammonium thiocyanate, or acidic thiourea. Although each method has advantages and disadvantages (Fleming and Cromberge, 1984), no single method seems to be appropriate for all cases.For example, Fleming (1989) used the zinc-cyanide method for a conventional strong-base resin (A161RIP) used at …
