The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgical waste residue treatment, and discloses a method for improving
zinc oxide extraction from metallurgical waste residues, which comprises the following steps: 1, waste residue pretreatment: crushing and
grinding metallurgical waste residues to enable the
granularity to reach 100-200 meshes, then carrying out
magnetic separation to remove magnetic impurities in the metallurgical waste residues, and fully and uniformly mixing the metallurgical waste residues with a
solvent according to a specific proportion to obtain a
mixed solution; the waste residue particles are uniformly distributed in the
solvent; and 2,
roasting treatment: putting the uniformly
mixed materials into a proper
roasting furnace, and
roasting under the conditions of specific temperature, time and
atmosphere. By innovatively combining the advantages of a pyrogenic process and a wet process, firstly, a
zinc compound is changed through pyrogenic roasting to improve reactivity, then, a roasted product is dissolved and separated through wet acid leaching to efficiently extract
zinc, the pyrogenic process provides high-quality raw materials for the wet process, the wet process deepens zinc extraction and purification, and the pyrogenic process and the wet process are linked, coordinated, complemented and limited to jointly improve the zinc
recovery efficiency.
