Abstract:
      Generated from arsenic rich zinc dust by sulfation roasting process, calcine was applied as raw material to investigate effects of leaching methods, temperature, H2SO4 concentration and ratio of liquid to solid (L/S) on leaching of indium, germanium and zinc, respectively. The results show that most of zinc in calcining can be leached with water, but higher temperature and H2SO4 concentration are in need to leach indium and germanium. The optimum leaching conditions for indium and germanium include temperature of 95 ℃ and H2SO4 concentration of 150 g/L, with no effect of L/S on leaching. Under these conditions, leaching rate of indium, germanium and zinc are >95%, >75%, and >98%, respectively.
