Zinc smelting is the process where raw ore is processed to remove impurities to recover high-purity zinc. Raw ores contain zinc as well as impurities such as mercury and lead. There are two techniques for recovering high-purity zinc: pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. The latter is adopted by more than 80 % of zinc smelters globally.

Review of the hydrometallurgical processing of non-sulfide zinc ores
Abstract. Non-sulfide zinc deposits were the prime source for zinc metal production for hundreds of years. However, during the early 20th century, their significance diminished due to the development of flotation and smelting techniques for zinc sulfides. At the present time, zinc sulfide ores are the most significant source of zinc, accounting ...
