    This project report summarizes a study on electro-refining zinc powder from zinc dross obtained from a galvanized plant. The zinc dross sample was examined and found to contain mostly metallic zinc along with some zinc-iron locking. Electrorefining experiments were conducted with the zinc dross as the anode in an alkaline electrolyte. Parameters like current density, current efficiency, voltage, and electrolyte concentration were studied. The experiments aimed to produce zinc powder with less than 0.02% iron content for use in paint industries, as high iron decreases the luster of paint.

    ABSTRACT

    Dross is a mass of solid impurities floating on low melting point metals. Zinc
    dross is obtained from galvanizing plant due to providing coating on steel.
    Zinc dross is a secondary source to produce zinc. Means we are using a waste
    material that cannot be reusuable. A process based on direct electro refining
    of zinc containing waste, used as anodic feed material may be considered an
    attractive route to produce zinc powder. This investigation deals with the
    production of electrolytic zinc powder from zinc dross in an alkaline medium
    by using it as anodic feed material. The zinc dross obtained from galvanizing
    plant was examined for micrographic and chemical analysis. It was found
    that mostly zinc is present in metallic state with some amount of zinc-iron
    locking. In an electrolytic cell, various parameters such as current density,
    current efficiency, voltage and concentration of electrolyte etc. have been
    studied It had been noticed the deposition of powder at different current
    densities, the impressed voltage, electricity consumed, and efficiency.

    Our aim is to produce the zinc powder containing iron content less than
    0.02%. Because produced powder should be utilized in paint industries. High
    amount of iron content decreases the lustrous of paint and gives a dull
    look,that will not impress customers.
