A comprehensive review of processing strategies for iron precipitation

1. Introduction. Around 90% of the global zinc production is carried out via the hydrometallurgical route (Sinclair, 2005).Zinc sulphide concentrate is roasted and the produced zinc calcine is leached in two steps and leads to unavoidable impurifications of the leach liquor with significant amounts of iron.
