Zinc Making Plant

Abstract

The main product zinc obtained from its smelting is an important item for wide use in suck key industries as steel-making, automobile, shipbuilding and chemical industries. Its major uses are: 1) Corrosion inhibition of steel products (galvanized steel sheets and steel pipe products), 2) Basic metal die casting for precision component parts, 3) Brass-alloy manufacture and 4) Raw materials for paint industry. Sulfuric acid as its by-product is an essential item for such key industries as fertilizer, steel-making and textile industries. It can also supply cadmium metal and copper products (copper ingot and cupric sulphate) as by-products to enhance its profitability, thus significantly contributing to motivating the progress of key industries, as well as development of available resources (zinc metal ores).
