In galvanizing process several byproducts are formed. Among them solid materials composed of different compounds are grown in the galvanizing kettle. The present work examines the structure of the galvanizing ashes, bottom dross and blowing waste with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). From this research it was deduced that these byproducts are mainly composed of different zinc compounds, while a large amount of iron in the form of oxides or Fe-Zn intermetallics is also present. In any case, the examined materials are suitable for zinc recovery, although their composition and the structure is highly different in every case.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
