    Abstract

    The present invention relates to a process for separating metals using a series of precipitations from waste materials of the zinc or steel industry, or both. The method is characterized in carrying out the precipitations using hydroxides or sulfur-containing chemicals selected from sulfates, sulfides, sulfur oxides and sulfites, or both, in order to obtain metal precipitates as well as an aqueous sulfur-containing solution, the latter optionally being recycled in the process, whereafter a final precipitate is carried to a thermal step, for forming.
