Abstract
Sedimentation and filtration are studied and compared as feasible methods to carry out the separation of precipitates obtained from the alkaline precipitation of diluted zinc chloride liquors. The behavior of the suspensions in phase separation has been related to the chemical composition of the precipitate solids and the external morphology of their particles. According to the experimental results, sedimentation is the preferred method for primary separation when zinc oxide is the main product present in the solid phase.Keywords
