Abstract

Process for recovery of zinc and other metal values from zinc waste or other metal waste containing chlorine and/or other anions forming undesirable metal salts. The waste is leached with a liquid organic phase containing a cation exchanger. The impurities are removed from the organic phase with water, and the zinc and other metal values are extracted from the organic phase with mineral acid. Thereafter the zinc and other metal values can be recovered with known methods.
