Abstract:
      A new process for preparing zinc sulfide from waste catalyst containing zinc by alkaline-leaching, purification, precipitation process was studied. The influences of extraction temperature, NaOH concentration, liquid-solid ratio (mass ratio) and extraction time on zinc leaching rate were emphatically investigated. The recovery of Zn was up to 90% under the optimum conditions including concentration of NaOH of 5 mol/L, liquid-solid ratio of 25:1 and leaching at 80 ℃ for 2 hours. Zinc sulfide with high purity and better crystallinity was synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method after leaching solution’s one-stage purification with zinc dust, and the filtrate can be recycled to be used as leaching agent.
