Extracting Zinc
How is it obtained?
This involves the implementation of froth floatation method for the extraction of zinc ores from zinc blende
-
Later, the compressed air is passed through the combination
The froth containing the concentrated zinc sulfide ores settles on the surface leaving behind the impurities in water.
-
The concentrated ore is then treated at 9000 degrees celcius in the presence of excess air, on the base of a reverberatory furnace.
During this process, zinc oxide is obtained from the zinc sulfide ore.

There are two ways
Fractional distillation
The impurities such as Pb and Fe is high in concentration when it is compared to Cd and Ar and is heated at about 1000 degrees which causes the distillation
-
Electrolysis Process
-
This method uses a zinc rod which acts as a cathode, while the impure zinc serves as a anode.
