Abstract
Dusts containing zinc and/or lead in the form of oxides and one or more reducing agents are mixed with each other before or after being introduced into a heat treatment furnace. The mixture is heated to a given temperature range under a substantial vacuum so that the zinc and/or lead in the form of oxides are reduced to zinc and/or lead in the state of pure metals and evaporated in the furnace. The evaporated zinc and/or lead are introduced into a retrieving container also under a substantial vacuum and at a given temperature where the evaporated zinc and/or lead pure metals are condensed and retrieved.
