Abstract:
      Zinc oxide dust has been used as one of the important raw materials in the zinc smelter industry. The chlorine content in the dust affects the energy consumption and product quality. This paper provides an overview of the zinc oxide dust sources and the effect of chlorine on zinc electrowinning. The existing dechlorination techniques used in the pre-dechlorination and dechlorination solution, including multihearth roasting, alkali washing and ion-exchanging, are presented. A new microwave roasting technology for dechlorination processing is proposed based on the study of existing traditional methods combined with the features of microwave heating. Suggestions for the development of this new technology are given.
