abstract={Galvanizing plant waste (zinc dross) containing 27.66% zinc was leached in HCl solutions. Zinc in solution was precipitated as Zn(OH)<SUB>2 </SUB>by adding ammonium hydroxide. The product was characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that when heated at 500<SUP>o</SUP>C, the product possesses hexagonal zincite structure. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the shape of zinc oxide particles was spherical and compares well with the standard product. A maximum of 93.7% zinc contained in the dross could be extracted and converted to zinc oxide having a purity of 98.8%.},
