Analysis of Using Soot Application in the Processing of Zinc-Bearing Waste Materials

In metallurgical processes, coke is used, among other materials, in order to implement the process of removing zinc from waste by reduction and evaporation. Due to the implemented de-carbonization policy, we are dealing with an increase in costs and decreasing availability of coke, which leads to an...

description In metallurgical processes, coke is used, among other materials, in order to implement the process of removing zinc from waste by reduction and evaporation. Due to the implemented de-carbonization policy, we are dealing with an increase in costs and decreasing availability of coke, which leads to an intensive search for other possibilities for conducting the process, which may generate a fire and explosion hazard in the technological process. This article analyzes the possibility of using soot in the process of reducing the zinc content in deposited metallurgical waste, taking into account the issue of fire and explosion safety. The results of the research proved the possibility of the safe use of the reductor, which is soot and anthracite, as a material replacing coke in pyrometallurgical processes.
