    This document summarizes the key steps in the zinc process: 1) Raw zinc sulfide ore is roasted to produce zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide gases. 2) The zinc oxide is leached using a neutral leach followed by a weak acid leach to produce an impure zinc sulfate solution. 3) The solution undergoes jarosite precipitation and purification to remove impurities like iron and produce a purified zinc sulfate solution. 4) Final steps involve gypsum precipitation and filtration to produce the final zinc sulfate product.

    Weak Acid Leaching &Jarosite: The thickened residue from the neutral leach is further treated in weak acid
    leaching, with spent electrolyte. The underflow from the weak acid leaching is treated in Conversion section
    with sodium Sulphate .
    The clear solution from Jarosite stage is further treated in Pre Neutralization section and recycled to Neutral
    leaching stage. Jarosite cake is filtered on horizontal Belt Filter. The Jarosite cake from filter after repulping is
    sent to ETP where it is neutralized with lime slurry and is pumped to Jarosite pond for its storage.
