Selective process of zinc extraction from spent Zn–MnO2 batteries

Ammonium chloride leaching is selective for zinc, against manganese and iron. More than 70% of Zn recovery can be attained. Final leach liquors contained near 6 g/L Zn and usually less than 0.1 g/L Mn. Recycling of spent Zn–MnO 2 batteries by hydrometallurgy is usually carried out by leaching in acid media, mainly with sulphuric acid solutions.
