Metalcess provides an integrated system
combining solidification and distillation technology to treat silver-zinc
crust/silver foam from Parkes process, in which zinc, lead and silver are
separated efficiently at the cost of low energy consumption. Noticeably, the
zinc recovered from silver-zinc crust can be used as desilvering agent again
for the Parkes process. While the lead alloy can be charged to lead refining
pot before bismuth-removing step. This system is superior in reducing energy
consumption, shortening process flow and improving working environment.
