Zinc is one of the strategic non-ferrous metal next only to Aluminium and Copper. It plays a very important role in country’s economy and development. It finds use in applications like galvanizing of iron and steel; die-casting alloys, brasses, dry cells, agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc., with industrial development in India use of zinc has increased considerably, however, specific consumption is much lower as compared to other developing countries.
The most important raw material for the production of zinc is the sulphide ore from which zinc is extracted either through pyro-metallurgical route or through hydro metallurgical – Roast – Leach – Electrowin (RLE) route. At present nearly 80 - 85% of the world’s production of primary zinc is through hydrometallurgical route, the balance is through pyro – metallurgical route.
Zinc’s largest use is in corrosion protection. Galvanising is the main method of protection against corrosion of steel, i.e. the steel is coated with a layer of zinc in order to protect it from decay.
Brasses are alloys of copper and zinc, and they have good mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance.
Diecastings are precision castings that can be mass-produced. Rolled zinc is used for architectural and building applications, and for dry cell batteries. Zinc oxide has its main use in tyres and rubber products. Many other zinc chemicals are used in a wide range of applications.

The document discusses the process of deoxidizing steel. During steelmaking, oxygen dissolves into the liquid steel but not in the solid steel. Deoxidation or "killing" of steel refers to reducing the excess oxygen content before casting to prevent blowholes and inclusions. This is typically done through precipitation deoxidation using elements like aluminum, silicon, and manganese that have a higher affinity for oxygen than iron and form stable oxides. These deoxidizers are chosen based on factors like stability, deoxidizing ability, oxide melting point and density. Aluminum is the most powerful deoxidizer but its oxide alumina must be modified to remain liquid during casting.

Secondary steel making processes are used to further refine special steels produced through primary steel making. These secondary processes are critical for achieving stringent quality requirements for cleanliness, grain size, and hardenability in steels used for applications like aircraft components and pipelines. Various furnaces and techniques can be used for secondary refining, including ladle furnaces, argon oxygen decarburization, vacuum treatments, and stirring to homogenize temperature and composition and accelerate inclusion removal from the steel. Stirring is commonly done by bubbling gas through the steel bath via submerged lances or porous plugs, or using electromagnetic stirring.

The document discusses the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process and electric arc furnace (EAF) process for steel production. It provides details on:
- The BOS process uses oxygen to remove carbon and other impurities from liquid iron in large converters in 15 minutes, producing steel. Critical removal steps are carbon, phosphorus, and temperature adjustment.
- The EAF melts recycled steel scrap using electric arcs in the furnace. It can perform metallurgical operations like refining. Electrode breakage and slag foaming, properties, and reduction are discussed.
- Both processes conclude by tapping the molten steel into a ladle for further refining before casting.
Steel is made through a process that begins with iron ore, coke, and limestone being fed into the top of a blast furnace. Hot air blown into the bottom of the blast furnace causes a series of reactions where carbon monoxide reduces the iron ore to molten iron, which is drained from the bottom. The limestone also reacts to form slag, which is separated from the molten iron. The molten iron can then be cast or further processed to produce steel, which has a variety of important uses including in construction, automobiles, packaging, and infrastructure. Steel production is crucial to modern society but manufacturers must consider the environmental impact of their processes.
The Midrex process uses a shaft furnace to convert iron oxide pellets or lumps into direct reduced iron (DRI) through the removal of oxygen using a reducing gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide produced from natural gas. Natural gas and recycled offgas are converted to hydrogen and carbon monoxide in a reformer and this reducing gas is introduced counter-currently to iron oxide in the shaft furnace where the iron oxide is converted to metallic iron through reduction. The process efficiently produces DRI from iron oxide feed materials using natural gas as the source of reducing gas.
The document describes the key processes in manufacturing steel:
1) Coke is produced from coal and used in the blast furnace along with iron ore and limestone.
2) In the blast furnace, coke and air are blasted into the furnace, using carbon to displace iron from the iron ore to produce liquid iron.
3) The liquid iron is further refined through basic oxygen steelmaking or electric arc furnaces to reduce the carbon content and produce steel.
There are two main types of die casting: hot-chamber and cold-chamber. In hot-chamber die casting, molten metal is kept inside the die casting machine, while in cold-chamber die casting the molten metal is poured into the machine from outside. Both processes use pressure to force molten metal into a die cavity to create parts. Cold-chamber die casting is more economical for large production quantities, provides good accuracy and surface finish, and requires less floor space than hot-chamber die casting.

Meteorite takes out roof and wall of russian zinc smelter plantPushkar Raj Chandna
The key drivers for Zinc industry will be macroeconomic developments, especially in China and to some extent in the European countries, and increase in supply as new projects in pipeline come on stream in the year 2013. An ideal situation would be one where miners continue to keep refined metal production growth under check while demand recovers to comfortable levels.
Ancient Indian texts from 1200-1400 AD describe a process for producing zinc through heating calamine ore with charcoal in a covered crucible fitted with a condenser. The zinc vapor produced at around 1000°C would travel down the condenser where it would cool and be collected as metallic zinc, in a process similar to modern retort furnaces used today at the Zawar mines in Rajasthan, India.
The document describes the process for recycling scrap automotive lead acid batteries. Batteries are cut apart, with polypropylene pieces collected and washed for resale. Lead components are cleaned and smelted in furnaces, with molten lead poured into ingots for reuse in new batteries. Sulfuric acid is neutralized into water or processed into sodium sulfate for industrial uses. Lead smelting processes use equipment like blast furnaces or rotary kilns. A schematic flow sheet shows the recycling plant design, which can process 35,000 tons of batteries annually to produce 9,000 tons of lead ingots.
The document outlines The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership which are modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart. It also lists ten commitments of exemplary leadership which include finding your voice, setting an example, envisioning the future, enlisting others in a common vision, searching for opportunities, experimenting and taking risks, fostering collaboration, strengthening others, recognizing contributions, and celebrating values and victories.
The most commonly used non-ferrous metals are aluminium, copper, lead, and zinc. Millions of tonnes of nonferrous scrap are recovered annually and used by smelters, refiners, ingot makers, foundries, and other manufacturers. Secondary materials are essential to the industry’s survival because even new metals often require the combined use of recycled materials.

2) It provides context on the evolution of corporate governance regulations and codes in India since the late 1990s.
3) Key lessons from Satyam included the importance of empowering shareholders, independent directors, whistleblowers, and addressing weak regulatory enforcement and promoter dominance. Overall reforms aim to strengthen compliance and transparency.
The document discusses zinc extraction processes. There are two main categories of processes: pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical. Approximately 80% of the world's zinc is produced via hydrometallurgical processes like the roast-leach-electrowin process. This process involves roasting zinc sulfide concentrate to produce zinc oxide, which is then leached and electrowon to extract zinc metal. An alternative is the pressure leach process, which combines roasting and leaching into a single step to produce zinc sulfate solution for electrowinning.
The document provides details about the execution of a copper plant project in India. Key points:
1) The Birla group commissioned consultants to prepare a feasibility study and select a site for a new integrated copper plant in India. Dahej, Gujarat was selected as the site.
2) Outokumpu flash smelting technology was selected for the copper smelter and Southwire for the continuous cast copper rod plant.
3) Measures to fast track the rod plant included separate engineering, procurement, and construction packages for certain units and staggered equipment supply.
4) Commissioning of the rod plant was completed ahead of schedule in March 1997 compared to the original target of September 1997.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
1. 1.0 INTRODUCTION
Zinc is one of the strategic non-ferrous metal next only to Aluminium and
Copper. It plays a very important role in country’s economy and development.
It finds use in applications like galvanizing of iron and steel; die-casting alloys,
brasses, dry cells, agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc., with industrial
development in India use of zinc has increased considerably, however,
specific consumption is much lower as compared to other developing
countries.
The most important raw material for the production of zinc is the sulphide ore
from which zinc is extracted either through pyro-metallurgical route or through
hydro metallurgical – Roast – Leach – Electrowin (RLE) route. At present
nearly 80 - 85% of the worlds production of primary zinc is through
hydrometallurgical route, the balance is through pyro – metallurgical route.
2.0 USES OF ZINC
Zinc’s largest use is in corrosion protection. Galvanising is the main method
of protection against corrosion of steel, i.e. the steel is coated with a layer of
zinc in order to protect it from decay.
Brasses are alloys of copper and zinc, and they have good mechanical
properties and good corrosion resistance.
Diecastings are precision castings that can be mass-produced.
Rolled zinc is used for architectural and building applications, and for dry cell
batteries.
Zinc oxide has its main use in tyres and rubber products. Many other zinc
chemicals are used in a wide range of applications

Alloys
5%
10%
Dry Cell
10%
Galvanizing
75%
3.0 PROJECTED DEMAND – SUPPLY OF ZINC IN INDIA
The per capita consumption of Zinc in the world is about 1.5 kgs;
comparatively indigenous consumption is only 0.30 kgs. The demand supply
gaps of Zinc in India are presented below:
Year Demand Supply Gaps % Satisfaction
2002-03 306,300 236,000 70,300 77.0%
2007-08 419,600 350,000 69,600 83.4%
2011-12 539,900 360,000 179,900 66.7%
Zinc Smelter plant Concept Note 2 P R Chandna
3. The demand satisfaction, as can be seen from the above table, is presently
around 70%, which is likely to increase to around 83.4% in 2007-2008, once
the recently installed 170,000 tpa Zinc Smelter plant at Chanderiya is
commissioned in mid 2005. The demand satisfaction level will go down from
present 70% to 66.7% in the year 2011-2012, if the zinc production capacity in
the country is not supplemented in near future.
4.0 RECOVERABLE RESERVES OF LEAD – ZINC ORES AND METALS
The Zinc resource inventory of India is estimated at 416 million tonnes with
4.91% zinc. The state of Rajasthan contributes to 87% of the Lead Zinc ores
in the country.
The largest zinc mining regions in the world are:
• Latin America
• China
• Australia
• North America (mainly Canada)
Each of these mines has production capacities of more than 1.5 million tonnes
per year of zinc in concentrates.
The predominant regions for zinc metal production, however, are China,
Western Europe and Asia. It therefore follows that a major world export trade
exists in zinc concentrates, mainly out of Australia, Latin America and Canada
and into Asia (including China, which produces more zinc than it can mine)
and Western Europe, as can be seen from the following table:

8. 8.0 PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES
GENERAL
The most important raw material (ZnS) ore commonly known as Zinc blende
for production of Zinc is Zinc Sulphide sphalerite. The principal processes by
which zinc is extracted from its ores can be categorized under pyro-
metallurgical processes and hydro-metallurgical processes.
A. Pyrometallurgical Processes:
1. Horizontal Retorts Process
2. Vertical Retorts Process
3. Electro-thermic Process
4. Imperial Smelting Process
B. Hydrometallurgical Processes;
1. Roast Leach Electrowin Process
2. Pressure Leaching Process
8.1 PYROMETALLURGICAL PROCESS
8.1.1 General
Presently about 15 – 20% of the world’s zinc production comes from pyromet-
allurgical route. The horizontal and vertical retort processes and electro-
thermal process were used in the past for zinc production but have become
obsolete due to high power consumption and low recovery. The only py-
rometallurgical process of importance presently is Imperial Smelting Process
(ISP).
Zinc Smelter plant Concept Note 8 P R Chandna
9. 8.1.2 Imperial Smelting Process (ISP):
Currently about 9 -10% of the world’s primary – zinc production are through
the Imperial Smelting Process. The process co-produces lead bullion in
addition to zinc metal using a mix of lead and zinc concentrates or complex
lead-zinc concentrates as raw material.
The Imperial Smelting Process is similar to blast furnace processes except
that it is operated with hot top whereby preventing reoxidation of zinc vapours.
The process consists of basic two operations namely; sintering and blast
furnace smelting of sintered lumps to extract lead and zinc simultaneously.
The Imperial Smelting Process has the following demerits:
i) Process requires mix of zinc and lead concentrates.
ii) It is a labour intensive process.
iii) Present demand scenario does not call for addition of lead smelting
capacity in the country.
iv) Because of high temperature involved in maintainability of the plant.
v) Low plant availability.
8.2 HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESS
8.2.1 General
About 80% of world’s total zinc output is produced through conventional
hydrometallurgical route i.e. roast-leach-electrowin (RLE) route. The three out
of the four plants installed in the country are operating on hydrometallurgical
process route, whereas the fourth one at Chittaurgarh, Rajasthan, which was
commissioned in the year 1991 is based on imperial smelting process route
for simultaneous extraction of lead and zinc.
Zinc Smelter plant Concept Note 9 P R Chandna
10. The pre-requisite condition for zinc metal extraction from sulphide concentrate
through a hydro-metallurgical route is the elimination of its sulphur content in
order to make it amenable to further treatment by leaching, i.e., the zinc
mineral into dissolved state in solution. Since zinc sulphide mineral is not
easily leached, it is first converted into zinc oxide, which is easily leached.
This is predominantly accomplished by roasting of zinc concentrate in fluid
bed roasters and fixation of SQ2 bearing off gases thus generated as sulphuric
acid by contact process. In the recent past, an alternative technology to
conventional roasting followed by leaching, has been developed by Sherritt-
Gordon of Canada, commonly known as “Pressure Leach Process” which
eliminates the need of roasting step prior to leaching. The process fixes the
sulphide content of concentrate as elemental sulphur, thus eliminates the
need for a separate sulphuric acid production facility, whereas the zinc metal
content of the concentrate is converted into a zinc sulphate solution, thus
combining both roast-leach steps of conventional process into a single unit
operation.
Thus there are two-process route for extraction of zinc hydrometallurgically:
1. Roast Leach Electrowin (RLE) Process
2. Pressure Leach Electrowin Process

11. The main purpose of roasting of zinc sulphide concentrate is to convert it into
a product, which is amenable to further treatment through hydrometallurgical
process for extraction of zinc. Secondly, to fix the sulphide contents into
sulphur dioxide gases for subsequent economical recovery as sulphuric acid.
The principal reaction during fluid bed roasting is:
2 ZnS + 3 02 = 2 ZnO + 2 S02
These rich gases are cleaned and cooled to recover dust content as zinc
calcine and to remove the various harmful impurities such as Hg, Se, F, Cl,
As, etc., before being led to conventional (DCDA) contact process for
manufacture of sulphuric acid.
The dead roasted product, zinc calcine, is subjected to leaching with recycled
electrolyte to extract zinc content. The enriched zinc sulphate solution is
further subjected to purification with zinc dust to eliminate impurities like
copper, cadmium, cobalt, nickel etc. before being subjected to electrolysis.
The zinc sulphate solution is fortified with return electrolyte solution,
undergoes electrolysis in lined concrete cells for deposition of zinc on alu-
minium cathodes. The lead- silver plates are used as anodes. The deposited
zinc on the cathodes are periodically stripped by automatic stripping
machines, melted in induction furnace and cast into saleable zinc ingots man
automatic casting and stacking machine.

12. In order to maximise zinc extractions the leach residues mainly zinc- ferrites,
a bye product of leaching process, are subjected to treatment to hydrolyse its
iron content into disposable Jarosite / goethite / hematite. The zinc plants are
also integrated with bye-product cadmium recovery unit in order to maximise
sales realization.
The standard zinc product is Special High Grade zinc (normally obtained from
RLE process route), with an assay of 99.995% zinc, i.e. it can contain a
maximum of 50 parts per million of impurities. There is also a grade of 98.5%
zinc, the main impurity being lead, and this used to be the standard grade,
called GOB (Good Ordinary Brand) or PW (Prime Western), normally a
product from the Imperial smelting process (ISP). A SHG product from the ISP
can also be produced by distillation process of refining.

diagram is given below:

14. 8.2.3 Pressure Leach Process
The pressure leach technique was first successfully commercially applied for
zinc extraction with the commissioning of first plant in 1981 at Cominco, Trail,
Canada.
There are presently three electrolytic zinc plants in the world where this
technique has been integrated into the existing facilities. A fourth green field
plant with two-stage counter-current pressure leach-electrowin is under
consideration.
In this process zinc sulphide or bulk zinc concentrates are oxidized under
oxygen overpressures of 1200 kpa abs. at a temperature of 1500 C in sul-
phuric acid medium to produce zinc sulphate solution directly and the sulphide
content is precipitated as elemental sulphur according to the following overall
reaction:
ZnS + H2S04 + 0.5 02 = ZnSO4 + H20 + Sº
The various factors influencing the kinetics of above reaction are the particle
size, mineralogy, surface active additives, acidities, reaction time, temperature
and oxygen over-pressures where by maximising metal extraction and fixation
of lead and iron constituents into disposable Jarosite and other types of
residues. The zinc sulphate solution thus produced is amenable to further
processing for final zinc extraction through conventional leach-electrowin
units.
Considering the technical merits/demerits and reliability of both the processes
the roast-leach-electrowin (RLE) stands apart from pressure leach process.
The size of zinc smelters varies from a few thousand tonnes per year zinc
capacity to more than 400,000 tonnes per year, the most common size,
except in China, being in the range 100,000 to 170,000 tonnes per year.

15. 9.0 Environmental Aspects
Waste Characteristics
The principal pollutants emitted/ generated from the zinc extraction processes
are:
• Particulate matter
• Sulphur dioxide (SO2) from the roaster furnace
• Iron residues from leaching process, known as Jarosite
Fugitive emissions occur from materials handling and transport of ores and
concentrates. Some vapours are produced in hydrometallurgy and in various
refining processes. The principal constituents of the particulate matter are
lead/zinc and iron oxides, but oxides of metals such as arsenic, antimony,
cadmium, copper, and mercury are also present, along with metallic sulphate.
Wastewaters are generated by wet air scrubbers and cooling water. Scrubber
effluents may contain lead/zinc, arsenic, and other metals. Sources of
wastewater include spent electrolytic baths, slimes recovery, spent acid from
hydrometallurgy processes, cooling water, air scrubbers, wash downs, and
storm water. Pollutants include dissolved and suspended solids, metals, and
oil and grease.
The larger proportion of the solid waste is an iron residue from the leaching
processes produce residues, while effluent treatment results in sludges that
require appropriate disposal.
Pollution Prevention and Control
Process gas streams from roaster furnace containing over 9 –12 % sulphur
dioxide are usually used to manufacture sulphuric acid by DCDA process, as
described above. The other measures adopted are as below:
Zinc Smelter plant Concept Note 15 P R Chandna
16. • Use of suspension or fluidized bed roasters, to achieve high SO2
concentrations when roasting zinc sulphide.
• Use doghouse/ bag filters enclosures where appropriate; use hoods to
collect fugitive emissions from the raw material handling plants.
• Use of energy-efficient measures such as waste heat recovery from
process gases to reduce fuel usage and associated emissions.
• Recycle condensates, rainwater, and excess process water for washing,
for dust control, for gas scrubbing, and for other process applications
where water quality is not of particular concern.
• Recover of iron-bearing residues from zinc production and dispose of in a
secure lined landfill.
• Give preference to fabric filters over wet scrubbers or wet electrostatic
precipitators (ESPs) for dust control.
• Good housekeeping practices are key to minimizing losses and preventing
fugitive emissions. Losses and emissions are minimised by enclosed
buildings, covered conveyors and transfer points, and dust collection
equipment. Yards should be paved and runoff water routed to settling
ponds.
Treatment Technologies
ESPs and bag houses are used for product recovery and for the control of
particulate emissions. Dust that is captured but not recycled will need to be
disposed of in a secure landfill or in another acceptable manner.
Effluent treatment of process bleed streams, filter backwash waters, boiler
blowdown, and other streams is required to reduce suspended and dissolved
solids and heavy metals and to adjust pH. Residues that result from treatment
Zinc Smelter plant Concept Note 16 P R Chandna
17. are recycled back to the process wherever possible or plastic lined settling
ponds or disposed of in a secure landfill.
In the recent past zinc industries have developed, due to stringent
environmental pressures, the latest process of fixing the leach residue
(Jarosite) generated during zinc production, with cement into a product known
as “Jarofix” to be disposed to a secure land fill, as described in the block
diagram above.
