    Zinc dross, ash, skimming, blowing, and dust are byproducts of the galvanizing process. Zinc dross is removed from the bottom or top of galvanizing baths, while ash forms on the bath surface. Skimming is removed from general bath tops and blowing forms from tube galvanizing. These materials are used to produce zinc ingots, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate fertilizer, zinc chloride batteries, and extracting additional metal. Zinc dross purity is lower than standard zinc sources. Specifications show zinc content ranges from 46-98% depending on the material and source.

    ZINC

    Applications
    Zinc Zinc Dross: It is used to produce ingots which are used by galvanizers mainly in local companies, as the
    purity is lower than standard material. The other major use of the material is the manufacturing of Zinc
    Oxide, which is mainly used in the rubber and tyre industry.
    Zinc Ash: This material is mainly used in the manufacturing of Zinc Sulphate which is used as fertilizer
    (21% Zinc and 10% Sulphur). There is also a certain % of metal recovered from the material. Ash is
    physically separated to produce secondary Zinc ingot with the non-metallic fraction used as feed stock,
    alongside ores, in the production of primary Zinc.
    Zinc Skimming: This material primarily used as a raw material for manufacturing Zinc Chloride, which
    has a wide application in the battery industry.
    Zinc Blowing: This material is used as a raw material for manufacturing Zinc Sulphate, which is primarily
    used in the manufacturing of fertilizers.

    Zinc Dross: Zinc Dross is a by-product of the galvanizing process that is obtained as a result of
    inter-metallic reactions with the iron in the bath that has been introduced by the steel parts being
    coated. Zinc baths can contain variable amounts of aluminium. Zinc Dross (hard Zinc) is removed from
    the bottom of general galvanizing baths (bottom dross) or from the pots of continuous galvanizing lines
    (top dross).
    53
    Zinc Ash: In the batch galvanizing process, Zinc Ash is formed on the surface of the galvanizing bath and
    consists primarily of ZnO with varying amounts of Zn(OH)CL.

    Zinc Skimming: These are skimmed from the top of general galvanizing baths.

    Zinc Blowing: In tube galvanizing, a further residue, Zn Blowing, is formed as excess zinc is removed
    from the surface by compressed air.

    Zinc Dust Ash: Zinc Dust Ash is generated when the Zinc dross is processed to obtain pure Zinc Rubber Battery
