FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: procedure consists in charging wastes of zinc into crucible of furnace, in their re-melting at temperature equal or higher, than temperature of melting at presence of anhydride of boric acid produced in furnace at thermal decomposition of boric acid. The distinguished feature of the procedure is charging boric acid on a bottom of the furnace crucible before charging wastes of zinc. Weight of boric acid is calculated by formula: y=25.1(100-x), where y is weight of boric acid per 1000 kg of zinc wastes, kg, x is content of metal zinc in wastes, %. When temperature of melt of zinc wastes reaches 700-750°C, it is conditioned in the furnace for 45 min. Also, height of melt of zinc wastes in the crucible of the furnace is maintained as 800 mm. The furnace consists of a case, of lining with refractory bricks, of the crucible for melting wastes of zinc laid with refractory bricks, of gas dead-end burners positioned in chambers and communicated with the crucible of the furnace through channels in mason-work of furnace crucible, of a cover of the furnace crucible, of two notches, one of which is located at height of 80 mm from the bottom of the furnace crucible designed for casting refined melt of zinc into moulds, while the second one is located at the level of the bottom of the furnace crucible and is designed for casting melt of zinc containing inter-metallic compounds or true solutions of impurity metals in melt of zinc into moulds.
EFFECT: reduced capital and operational expenditures.
