A known method of purification of zinc from oxide impurity metals and bake for implementing the method, selected as a prototype, including the melting of zinc in the molten sodium tetraborate containing 3-7 wt.% anhydride of boric acid, at a temperature of 750-800°C and bake for cleaning zinc containing vertically mounted crucible, which has a wall pocket, a nozzle for discharging the purified zinc, built-in pocket on the level of the height of the layer of gate, from the molten zinc in the pocket. The height of the layer of molten zinc in the shutter is determined by the formula:

h1=(h2·P1+h3·P2):P1,

where h1- the height of the layer of molten zinc in the bolt, m;

h2- the height of the layer of molten zinc at the bottom of the crucible, m;

h3- the height of the layer of molten sodium tetraborate in a crucible furnace, m;

P1- the specific gravity of molten zinc, kg/m3;

P2- specific gravity melt NAT the Oia tetraborates, kg/m3(RF patent 2261925, 26.02.2004 g, BIPM No. 28, 10.10.2005,).

The disadvantages of this method are:

- high melting point tetraborate sodium - 750-800°C;

- high viscosity tetraborate sodium, which would entail significant takeaway from the furnace crate melt tetraborate sodium and will create difficulty in cleaning the cage from the glassy solidified molten salt;

- the presence of the wall pocket creates inconvenience in loading in the salt melt cage with Zn-containing raw materials and difficulties in the manufacture of the crucible;

- the inner wall of the crucible is not protected from the molten zinc, which can lead to the dissolution of metal from the crucible into the melt zinc at temperatures above 700°C;

- not provided clear zinc from impurity metals in intermetallic compounds, such as FexZnyetc.;

do not provide drain from the furnace of molten zinc and salt during preventive maintenance or emergency situations.

A method of obtaining zinc from zinc dross, including the loading of zinc dross in the furnace, the melt at a temperature of 700-800°C, holding at this temperature for 0.25 to 0.5 h, cooling the melt to a temperature of 460-500°C, holding at this temperature for 0.5-0.7 hours and then discharge the molten zinc molds (RF Patent 2188244. 110420001, BIPM No. 24, 2708.2002 g, s).

The disadvantages of this method are:

- low yield of purified zinc;

- low productivity of the furnace;

- formation of nastys on the walls of the crucible that is the reason time-consuming and periodic cleaning of the furnace from nastily;

education a significant number (40%) secondary waste zinc dross having a high content of impurities (10%);

- the high cost of purified zinc, which is a consequence of the significant energy cost due to frequent stops furnace cleaning from nastily and low yield of purified zinc (up to 55%).

The tasks of the proposed method of purification of zinc-containing raw materials from impurities and furnace for implementing the method are improving the quality of purified zinc, increasing the reliability of operation of the furnace, maintainability her, lowering energy costs, reducing the cost of the pure zinc.

These objectives are achieved by the fact that the melting of the zinc-containing raw material is carried out in the molten salt having the composition, wt.%:

NaCl 56-59
NaF 22-23
KCl 11
Na2B4O7 4-6
B2O3 3-5

at a temperature of 600-700°C.

The height of the molten zinc on the bottom of the furnace is 200-250 mm, and the height of the molten salt above the level of the molten zinc - 800-900 mm

The loading of Zn-containing raw material with metallic aluminum in the amount of 0.02 to 0.05 wt.% of the mass of the zinc-containing raw material is carried out in a cage of steel.

The cage hung on a rod fixed in the upper part of the crucible.

The bottom cage is separated from the upper level of molten zinc at a distance of 250-350 mm

Oven cleaning zinc-containing raw materials from oxides of impurity and impurity metals metals contains metal shell of refractory steel, the bottom of the furnace lined with refractory material and the shell of the crucible with an inner surface lined with refractory non-metallic material to a height from the bottom of the furnace 500-600 mm, between the surface of the shell and refractory lining has a layer of refractory glue.

Pipe for draining cleaned zinc molds mounted in the furnace and lowered into the molten zinc at a distance of 20-50 mm from the bottom of the furnace, the height of the drain of the pure molten zinc through the pipe is 460-50 mm from the bottom of the furnace, nozzle for discharging molten zinc and salts before preventive repair of the furnace or during emergency situations is made horizontally at the level of the bottom of the furnace and has a shutter of refractory clay from the inside of the furnace.

Ceramic nozzles are heated.

For the implementation of the method of purification of zinc-containing raw materials from oxides of impurity metals in intermetallic compounds in the zinc in the molten salt load boric acid (H3BO3), the weight of which is calculated in advance in accordance with proceeding of the reaction:

2H3BO3=B2O3+3H2O

MeO+Na2B4O7=Me(BO2)2+2NaBO2

Me2O3+Na2B4O7+2B2O3=2Me(BO2)3+2NaBO2

2NaBO2+B2O3=Na2B4O7,

where MeO and Me2O3- oxides of impurity metals.

After the collapse of boric acid in a salt melt on boric anhydride and water vapor in the molten salt immerse the crate with the Zn-containing raw material and metallic aluminum in a quantity of 0.02 to 0.05 wt.% of the mass of the zinc-containing raw materials.

This can result in reaction scheme:

FexZny+ZAl=FexAlz+yZn.

Released zinc passes into the molten zinc, and intermetallic compounds of impurity metals with aluminum zahwah yaytsa metasomatism salts of impurity metals (Fe(BO 2)3etc) and remain in the cage, which after complete draining of molten zinc at the bottom of the furnace are removed from the molten salt together with the crate.

Stand, remote from the molten salt, dipped in a solution of chloride salts of sodium and potassium, salts NaCl, KCl, Na2B4O7that remain on the cage as a result of its wetting by molten salts into solution, then the crate is easy to clean from metasomatised salts of impurity metals.

The method of purification of zinc-containing raw materials from oxides of impurity metals and impurity metals is as follows.

To complete the cleaning method Zn-containing raw materials from oxides of impurity and impurity metals metals included in the intermetallic compound used oven special construction shown in the drawing.

The crucible furnace (POS.1) is a shell without a bottom refractory steel, preferably steel SL. Preferably the sides of the crucible to apply cast without welded seams to eliminate education in the structure of the shell of the micro-cracks that may be formed during the welding process. The bottom of the crucible and lining the inner wall of the shell to a height from the bottom of the furnace up to 500-600 mm made of refractory non-metallic material (pos.2), such as refractory concrete.
