Ammoniacal Sulphate Leach of Ananconda Zinc Calcine Recovery of the Zinc by Electrolysis.

Zinc is produced from ores by two general methods, distillation and electrolysis. The general principles involved in the electrolytic zinc process of today were known as far back as 1880. Difficulties encountered in purifying the solution for electrolysis and lack of suitable mechanical apparatus were the main reasons that such a long time elapsed before the process was used to produce zinc in commercial quantities.

Alkali Leaching of Antimony Sulphide and Electrolytic Recovery of Antimony from the Resulting Leach Solution

It is the purpose of this investigation to obtain some insight into optimum conditions for leaching Stib­nite with sodium hydroxide solution and also to steady the factors affecting the electrolysis of the resulting solution.
