Zinc plant residue (ZPR) is a secondary material generated during hydrometallurgical zinc production that contains considerable contents of valuable elements such as Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, Ag, In, Ga, Tl. Zinc, copper and accompanying elements in ZPR are in different minerals, mainly in the ferrites. A promising approach for recycling ZPR is the sulfating roasting using iron sulfates followed by water leaching. In this study, the composition of ZPR and the obtained products were thoroughly investigated by various methods including X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), chemical phase analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The effect of temperature, amount of iron sulfates and roasting time on the conversion of valuable metals into a water-soluble form was thermodynamically and experimentally studied both using pure ferrites and ZPR. Based on the results of time-resolved XRD analysis and synchronous thermal analysis (STA), a mechanism of the sulfation roasting was elucidated. The rate-controlling step of zinc and copper sulfation process during the ZPR roasting was estimated. The sulfating roasting at 600 °C during 180 min with the optimal Fe(SO)∙9HO addition followed by water leaching enables to recover 99% Zn and 80.3% Cu, while Fe, Pb, Ag, In, Ga retained almost fully in the residue.

To alleviate the energy crisis and control environmental pollution raised by spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the development of efficient and economic methods for their recycling is crucial for sustainable development of new energy industry. Herein, a combined pyro - hydrometallurgical process was adopted for recovery of valuable metal elements for spent LiNiCoMnO (NCM523). Different from conventional pyrometallurgical methods with high temperature and energy consumption, the NHHSO roasting strategy works at 400 °C and achieves remarkable leaching efficiencies of Li, Co, Mn, and Ni achieved 97.

Magnetization roasting of iron tailings (IT) is an effective method to recovery fine iron concentrate (IC) from refractory IT. However, the migration and transformation of sulfur during the roasting process remain unclear, impacting iron quality if sulfur content exceeds the allowable limit value. This study investigates the sulfur release and fixation during magnetization roasting of textile dyeing sludge (TDS) and IT, elucidating the sulfur migration and transformation processes.

Article Synopsis
- * A new method for extracting heavy metals, particularly chromium, from SSD has been developed, with significant extraction rates achieved under specific conditions (650 °C for 1 hour).
- * The roasting process breaks down the silicate structure, allowing for the efficient release of heavy metals and reducing the SSD mass by 90-95%, while also detoxifying the material for potential use in treating similar waste types.

Pyrite cinder (PyC) containing polymetallics is difficult to use due to the low grade of metals and complex mineral phase composition, the low reutilized rate of which causes the wastage of resources. In this paper, a novel approach based on mineral phase reconstruction was proposed to recover Cu, Co, and Fe from PyC. A feasible reduction roasting process was developed for mineral phase reconstruction, followed by leaching with sulfuric acid to recover Cu and Co; finally, the leaching residue was separated by a magnetic tube to recover Fe.
