Conclusions • Rising primary zinc prices have reached historic levels and are greatly impacting the raw material costs of zinc consuming industries such as galvanizing, die casting and brass manufacturing. • The quantity of metallic zinc contained within the waste materials of these zinc processing facilities is extremely high, especially for producers of galvanized steel products. • The metallic zinc content of the waste drosses which are discarded from a molten zinc pot in a galvanizing operation may exceed 90%. • Unlike die casting and brass manufacturing, currently only a minimal volume of recycled zinc is directly returned to an industrial galvanizing pot. • Implementation of defined in-house procedures by galvanizing operations could help extract higher fractions of valuable zinc from their process wastes. • Utilization of a Metaullics MZR Zinc Recovery System may enhance retention of zinc inventories by providing an on-site secondary processing technique for recovery of usable metallic zinc.
