| Abstract Scope |
A review of processing of primary and secondary zinc sources in the Americas has been compiled in conjunction with the PbZn 2020 Symposium. This review includes a listing of active processing facilities by location in the Western Hemisphere. Descriptions of key technologies used in these facilities are presented. The review considers trends and changes that have occurred since the PbZn 2010 Symposium. A discussion of likely changes in the medium-term future is also included. This paper follows the examples set by previous authors since 1970 and should serve as a reference for readers interested in the zinc processing industry |
