The development of new zinc recovery method from electric arc furnace dust through selective chlorination

2014/03/05

A research group led by Professor Emeritus Yuzuru Sato and Professor Hongmin Zhu of the Department of Metallurgy at the Tohoku University Graduate School of Engineering at Tohoku has developed an efficient method of extracting zinc utilizing selective chlorination and molten salt electrolysis from a flue cinder (electric furnace dust) which is produced when iron scrap is smelted in an electric furnace.
