Zusammenfassung:The object of the invention is a method of obtaining zinc sulphate solution for electrolysis of zinc from selected Waelz oxide of hydrometaliurgical properties, applicable in the hydrometaliurgical process of electrolytic zinc manufacture. In the process according to the invention selected oxides of hydrometallurrgical properties from the Waelz plant are used, and the process of preparing zinc electrolyte for electrolytic zinc manufacture is carried out in three stages, wherein each of the stages is preceded by a different process of preparing process suspension. In the first stage the crude zinc oxide is treated with cold water to remove chlorine and alkali elements in a two-step counter-current operation of leaching soluble components carried out in a washing and thickening unit, wherefrom water containing alkali elements and chlorine is selectively transferred to CaCI2 manufacture. In the second stage the crude zinc oxide processed in the first stage is further treated in an autoclave at a temperature of 120-130°C to remove fluorine by treatment with Na2CO3 and/or Na2CO3 solution, after which the suspension, preferably upon thickening, is subjected to phase separation by means of filtration and washing the filter cake on the filter. In the third stage the filter cake obtained in the second stage is dissolved in the recycled acid, after which the thickened suspension is separated in a thickening and phase separation process by means of filtration and washing the filter cake on the filter, and the solution after sedimentation constitutes a zinc electrolyte for electrolytic zinc manufacture. L'objet de l'invention est un procédé d'obtention d'une solution de sulfate de zinc pour l'électrolyse de zinc à partir d'oxyde Waelz choisi de propriétés hydrométallurgiques, applicable dans le procédé hydrométallurgique de fabrication de zinc électrolytique. Dans le procédé selon l'invention, des oxydes choisis de propriétés hydrométallurgiques provenant de l'installation Waelz sont utilisés, et le procédé de préparation d'électrolyte de zinc pour une fabrication de zinc électrolytique est effectué en trois stades, chacun des stades étant précédé par un différent procédé de préparation de suspension de traitement. Dans le premier stade l'oxyde de zinc brut est traité par de l'eau froide pour éliminer le chlore et les éléments alcalins dans une opération à contre-courant en deux étapes de lixiviation de composants solubles effectuées dans une unité de lavage et d'épai
