摘要:
A method for the separation and recovery of metals selected from the group consisting of iron, cadmium, zinc, and lead, from raw material comprising a mixture of metals, which comprises the steps of heating the raw material to a temperature sufficient to substantially vaporize cadmium, zinc, and lead, and insufficient to substantially vaporize iron; separating secondary dust and vapors produced during the first step from the residual sinter mass, which mass comprises iron; slurrying the secondary dust in an aqueous solution of ammonia ammonium carbonate to dissolve zinc and cadmium; separating a zinc/cadmium bearing leach liquor from substantially insoluble lead containing particles by filtration; treating the zinc/cadmium bearing leach liquor to recover cadmium by adding metallic zinc to the leachate to produce a cadmium containing cement; separating the cement from the leach liquor; and removing ammonia from the leach liquor to precipitate basic zinc carbonate. The methods of the invention are especially suitable for treating electric arc furnace dusts.

摘要:
The invention provides polymeric matrices and films comprising fixation reagents that are capable of reacting with solubilized metals to form less soluble metal compounds. The fixation reagenst may include inorganic sulfides and phosphates, as well as adsorbents. The polymeric matrices may be comprised of polyvinyl alcohols and polyvinyl acetates. In some embodiments, the polymeric matrix is selected to be at least as soluble as the selected fixation reagent, particularly under the conditions in which the matrix is expected to come into contact with the solublized metal.

摘要:
A process for treating wastes contaminated by toxic metals and/or organic materials is disclosed. The process involves heating the metal-contaminated wastes to a temperature sufficient to volatilize the metals. This temperature is also high enough to destroy or volatilize organic contaminants. The metal vapors are contacted with a sorbent which is reactive with the metals and sequesters them, thereby forming a non-leachable complex which can be disposed as non-hazardous conventional waste.
