Abstract:A novel microwave roasting technology for formation of ZnO from zinc sulfide concentrate is presented. The dielectric properties and thermal behaviors of zinc sulfide concentrate and ZnS, CaO, MgO, ZnO, FeS, and ZnFe2O4, covering a temperature range of 25 to 1000°C at 2.45 GHz, are systematically investigated. The main microwave absorbing compounds are FeS and ZnS, while compounds like CaO, MgO, and SiO2 and other gangue exhibit poor absorbing properties. The sulfide concentrate temperature increase was divide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
