Increased content of automotive scrap in metallurgical charge raises the content of zinc and lead in the dust from melting installations. Every year 1.2 mln tons of zinc-coated scrap comes to the market to be recycled. The cost of the waste dumping will be systematically growing, this comes refers to both the dumping fee and costs of transport from the plant to the dumping ground. The dust collected in the process of melting is, on one hand, a valuable raw material while, on the other, special processes are required for its effective management. Zinc-containing dust can be processed by two methods: hydrometallurgical refining and pyrometallurgical refining.
