Abstract
In order to enhance the electrogenerative leaching rate of sphalerite reasonably, the basic principle of generative process was applied to the simultaneous leaching of sphalerite in the presence of MnO2. It was confirmed by experimental results that both mental ions and electric energy could be obtained in the simultaneous electrogenerative leaching process. The leaching cell had the open circuit potential about 1.0 V, about 2000 C of electric quantity was obtained, the optimal leaching ratio of Zn2+ and Mn2+ was 48.5, 39.6% respectively, after electrogenerative leaching for 11 h.
