Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing economically recyclable high concentration zinc cake of a zinc concentration of at least 40%, by efficiently separating zinc present in a waste galvanization solution from iron at low cost.SOLUTION: A zinc composition including at least 40% of zinc per dry weight is recovered by an air-oxidation process of adding an alkali into a waste galvanizing solution comprising a zinc ion and a ferric ion each at least in a predetermined concentration and further comprising heavy metal to maintain its pH in a range of 4.5 to 5.5, blowing air thereinto to oxidize the ferric ion to a ferrous ion, and subsequently precipitating the ferrous ion as ferrous hydroxide; a first solid-liquid separation process of adding a chelating agent into the treated solution obtained and subsequently carrying out solid-liquid separation; a pH adjustment process of adding an alkali to the separated solution obtained to control its pH between 8 and 11 to precipitate zinc hydroxide; a second solid-liquid separation process of subjecting the treated solution obtained to solid-liquid separation; and washing the solid matter obtained.
