Objective
In the hydrometallurgy of zinc, a considerable amount of Jarosite Waste (JW) is produced. Its disposal represents a consistent economical handicap for the zinc industries and a serious environmental and social problem. E.C. zinc industries produced about 600.000 tons of jarosite waste in 1992 and Partner 2, itself, about 160.000 tons.
The aim of the project is the recycling JW, in combination with other wastes (Granite Waste, GW) for the production of GLASS (G) and GLASS CERAMIC (GC) materials suitable for commercial exploitation.
In order to carry out the project JW and GW will be characterised, combined in the proper proportion to obtain the G-batch, melted, vitrified and then crystallised, by proper thermal treatment, to obtain GC materials.
The objectives of the project can be summarised as follows :
a. Recycling of the highest quantity of JW
b. Utilising, in combination with JW, GW located near the jarosite deposits.
c. Obtaining G and/or GC materials with technological properties and cost production such as to subsequently promote commercial exploitation.
d. Reducing the cost-production of zinc metal by diminishing the disposal expenses of JW.
e. Revaluating wastes and residues.
f. Contributing to the solution of a serious environmental problem.
