Abstract

Total content of zinc and other metals has been assayed in thesludge that remained after leaching zinc-bearing smelting losswith sulfuric acid. The paper also presents zinc speciationcarried out by means of the sequential extraction by Rudd and an analysis of chemical forms of zinc. It has been found thatzinc occurs mainly in the mobile, bioavailable, soluble form and in the moderately mobile, carbonate form. The speciationcarried out showed that zinc occurred in the sludge in the following forms (mg kg-1): sulfate 143 000, oxide 79 000,metallic 68 200, siliceous 35 500, sulfide 20 800 and ferrate18 500. Preparatory extraction of zinc from the sludge usingwater, sodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)and acetic acid has also been conducted.
