Skorpion Zinc: optimization and innovation by J. Gnoinski* Synopsis The Skorpion process comprises three processing steps-atmospheric leaching in sulfuric acid, zinc solvent extraction and electrowinning to produce special high grade zinc. The major mode of impurity transfer was attributed to crud runs in the solvent extraction circuit.

In zinc electrowinning, Mn oxidizes to form MnO. 2. on Pb-Ag anodes, cell walls and pipes. MnO. 2. reduces anode corrosion but also leads to short circuits and maintenance issues. MnO. 2. is thought to interact with chloride ions and produce oxidized chlorine species. The interactions between Mn and Cl are not well understood. Bench scale
Zinc Electrowinning Zinc Cathodes. 03/06/2017 The work of Kammel and Saadat showed that Cl- and F- in the electrolyte, as well as higher temperatures, increase intensity of retention; however, using zinc cathodes for zinc electrowinning will solve this problem.
