Extraction of Zinc
The big lumps of ore are first crushed by a jaw crusher and powdered in ball mills. b. Concentration: ... During this process, some more of the ZnS is also converted into zinc sulphate. ZnS + 2O 2 → ZnSO 4. Above 900°C, this zinc sulphate decomposes to give Zinc Oxide. ZnSO 4-→ 2ZnO + SO 2 + O 2.
