Abstract

Zinc was extracted in a Jordanian Steel Plant using an electric arc furnace dust. Sulfuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids were used at different concentrations to recover zinc from dust particles. The highest zinc extraction was obtained at low acid concentration of less than 1 mol/L in the order of H₂SO₄ followed by HNO₃ and then HCl. The kinetics of zinc extraction using H₂SO₄ showed a maximum zinc recovery of 72% obtained by using 0.1 mol/L acid concentration, 900 rpm agitation speed and 50 °C.
