<p>A method of precipitating a zinc containing solid from an acidic solution containing dissolved zinc and magnesium comprising contacting the solution with a calcium containing neutralising agent to raise the pH of the solution to 4.5 to 7.5 at a temperature of from 70 to 95°C to thereby precipitate a solid zinc containing material and gypsum without causing substantial precipitation of magnesium, and separating the zinc containing material from the gypsum.</p> |
