Flue dust, zinc-refining (EC 273-760-6)

Substance description/characteristics

Name and other identifiers of the substance:

The substance Flue dust, zinc-refining is a UVCB (origin: inorganic)

Public name: waelz oxide

Substance identity:
EC number:	273-760-6
EC name:	Flue dust, zinc-refining
CAS number (EC inventory):	69012-63-1
IUPAC name:	Flue dust, zinc-refining
Description:	Zinc bearing materials and reducing agents (i. e. coke) are blended, wet and fed to a furnace at high temperature causing fuming of zinc Air oxidizes the zinc in the gas-phase to solid zinc oxide and entrains it together with some particles from the feed; the fume is collected in the gas-cleaning system OR Material is produced in a blast furnace where there is no oxidising atmosphere. Chemical reaction of the zinc takes place in the wet gas cleaning system (with water) Flue dust is collected in bag-house filters or wet gas cleaning system. It is a zinc oxide rich material containing some impurities and halogens.
Molecular formula:	n.a.
