| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a method for leaching zinc concentrate in atmospheric conditions, so that the obtained end product is a zinc sulfate solution, which is further conducted into electrolysis, and iron precipitate, which advantageously is jarosite precipitate.
The invention relates to a method for leaching zinc concentrate in atmospheric conditions in the presence of trivalent iron. It is essential that the zinc concentrate is fed into conditions where in addition to trivalent iron, there are also jarosite nuclei. The sulfuric acid content of the leaching step is maintained within the region 10-40 g/l, and the temperature within the region 80° C.-the solution boiling point, and into the leaching step there is fed oxygen, so that the zinc concentrate is dissolved and the iron is precipitated as jarosite. |
