The theme of this thesis is to improve zinc roaster efficiency. Characterisation of the pro-cess has led to better control of the process. The process that has been developed is in use at the zinc roaster of Boliden Kokkola Oy in Kokkola, Finland, now a part of the new Boliden Group. The work was supervised by Professor Urpo Kortela. I would like to thank him for his advice, comments and ...
Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite. Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment. In its dense synthetic form, zinc sulfide can be transparent, and it is ...
The McArthur River mine is a zinc-lead mine, situated about 70 kilometres southwest of Borroloola, near the Gulf of Carpentaria in the northeastern Northern Territory, Australia.It is operated by McArthur River Mining (MRM), a subsidiary of the Swiss mining company Glencore.Although discovered in the 1950s, when it was originally called the HYC or "Here's .
ROASTING OF SULFIDE MINERALS In addition to common metals like copper, lead, zinc, and nickel a number of other metals such as antimony, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, and molybdenum occur as sulfide minerals. Sulfides are not reduced with the most widely used redu- cing agents, carbon and hydrogen, because the free energy change for the reactions 2MS+C=2M+CS 2 and MS+H 2 =M+H .
Since zinc sulphide mineral is not easily leached, it is first converted into zinc oxide, which is easily leached. This is predominantly accomplished by roasting of zinc concentrate in fluid bed roasters and fixation of SQ2 bearing off gases thus generated as sulphuric acid by contact process. In the recent past, an alternative technology to ...
The commencement of Australian industry's role in the zinc business was at the transition of a raw materials change from oxide ores such as Calamine to sulfide ores. Particularly in Europe, but also in North America, oxide ores used as feed to the zinc retort process were fast being depleted.

DEAD ROASTING FOR ZINC SULFIDE, PYRITE, AND GOLD-BEARING SULFIDE MINERALS Dead roasting is the most commonly used roasting process and is mainly applied in our zinc and pyrite roasters. When using a dead-roasting process for concentrates, the sulfides are completely transformed into oxides. The gas temperature in this type of plant is typically between 800 and 950°C. The hot gas .
Zinc is a brittle, crystalline, bluish white metal and is principally mined as the primary sulphide sphalerite, usually in association with galena. Sphalerite contains 67% Zn and often includes traces of cadmium, gallium, germanium and indium as simple sulphides in solid solution. The secondary minerals willemite (Zn 2 SiO 4), smithsonite (ZnCO 3) and hemimorphite (Zn 4 Si 2 .
End-of-life mode of failure of a zinc sulphide concentrate fluidized-bed roaster and its rebuilding by C.B. Kohler*, S. Venter*, N.M. Vegter*, and E.H.O. Meyer* Synopsis Zincor operates four Lurgi fluidized-bed roasters at its roast-leach-electrowin refinery in Springs, South Africa. In 2006, Zincor's four roasters had reached ages ranging between 26 and 38 years, while the .
Disclosed is a fluidized bed roaster with stabilized fluidized bed for roasting zinc concentrate which can have a uniform internal temperature distribution to form a stabilized fluidized bed, thereby dramatically reducing the amount of sulfide sulfur contained in calcine and the amount of fine calcine particle carried over to a gas discharge port.

The roasting of sulphide ores and concentrates is often the first step in the production of metals or chemicals. In many processes, the production of sulphuric acid is viewed as a by-product, while in some plants production is an important economic factor. Regardless of the purpose, a pyrite roasting plant consists of mainly three plant sections: roasting, gas cleaning and sulphuric acid. With ...
Zinc smelting is the process of converting zinc concentrates (ores that contain zinc) into pure zinc. Zinc smelting has historically been more difficult than the smelting of other metals, e.g. iron, because in contrast, zinc has a low boiling point.At temperatures typically used for smelting metals, zinc is a gas that will escape from a furnace with the flue gas and be lost, unless specific ...
Zinc is found in the earth's crust primarily as zinc sulfide (ZnS). Primary uses for zinc include galvanizing of all forms of steel, as a constituent of brass, for electrical conductors, vulcanization of rubber and in primers and paints. Most of these applications are highly dependent upon zinc's resistance to corrosion and its light weight characteristics. In 1991, approximately 260,000 ...
The Gidji Roaster, the towering landmark which has processed sulphide concentrate from Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Super Pit for the past 25 years, will be shut down by the end of next year. Two roasters, which operate at temperatures about 650C, will both be closed "to improve air quality" and be replaced with a large ultra-fine grinding mill.
The Sulphide. Much of northern NSW was underdeveloped when the management of a London-registered company known as the Sulphide Corporation (Ashcroft's Process) Limited set their sights on establishing an industry in 1895. They were confident they could make a commercial success of the electrolytic zinc process developed by Edgar Ashcroft. Although the first .

An experimental programme was established to study the effect of process parameters on the agglomeration behaviour of particles within a fluidized bed zinc concentrate roaster. A 102 mm internal diameter pilot scale roaster was designed, constructed and commissioned. Tests were then conducted with two industrial zinc concentrates at different temperatures (875-975C), .
