The removal of iron-containing dross particles and recovery of zinc from galvanizing dross by super-gravity separation was investigated using a model Zn–Fe–Al alloy. After super-gravity separation, the high purity molten zinc went through the filter, while the residue mainly consisting of dross particles was intercepted by the filter and separated from the molten zinc. The effects of gravity coefficient and separating temperature on zinc recovery and iron removal were investigated. The preliminary results show the super-gravity separation is a promising method of recovering zinc from galvanizing dross.
