A method for the production of Group IA salts during a process for the recycling of industrial waste streams containing Group IA compounds and iron and/or zinc compounds, by heating the waste stream in a reducing atmosphere, treating the exhaust fumes from the heating step with an ammonium chloride leaching solution resulting in a Group IA salt containing precipitate, and recovering the Group IA salts from the precipitate.

Method for the recovery of group IA salts during the treatment of

A method for the production of zinc ammonium chloride complex salts for use as galvanizing fluxes by heating waste materials captured from industrial processes containing zinc in a reducing atmosphere, leaching the resultant captured waste materials in an ammonium chloride solution resulting in a first product solution and a first undissolved materials, adding zinc metal to the first product solution resulting in a second product solution and a second undissolved materials, and adding additional ammonium chloride and/or hydrochloric acid to the second product solution resulting in the production of zinc ammonium chloride complex salts for use as galvanizing fluxes.

Method for the production of galvanizing fluxes and flux feedstocks

A method for the recovery of metals including zinc, zinc oxide, iron-carbon feedstocks, lead and cadmium from industrial waste streams which entails treating the waste streams with carbon and an ammonium chloride solution, separating any undissolved components from the solution, displacing metal ions including lead and cadmium from the solution using zinc metal, further treating the solution to remove zinc compounds therefrom, further treating the zinc compounds and the undissolved components with a dissolving solution, and further treating the displaced metal ions to recover lead, cadmium and zinc therein using various methods including electrolysis.

Method for separation of metals from waste stream

A method for the reclamation of zinc, lead, tin, cadmium and copper from dust containing such elements or compounds which involves leaching the dust with sulfuric acid or ammonium bisulfate, neutralization the leachate with zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide, and cementing and/or roasting various intermediate and final products for the reclamation of the above metals. The method is especially designed for reclaiming the above metals from waste streams from production processes for electrical conductors. The method is a continuous process with the recirculation of various solutions remaining after the completion of each step.
