It has historically been more difficult than the smelting of other metals, e.g. iron, because in contrast, zinc has a low boiling point. At temperatures typically used for smelting metals, zinc is a gas that will escape from a furnace, unless specific measures are taken to prevent it. Zinc is extracted from the purified zinc sulfate solution by electrowinning, which is a specialized form of electrolysis Roast-Leach-Electrowin (RLE).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Please see <span style=\"color: #b72026;\"><em>Chart 1<\/em><\/span> on <span style=\"color: #b72026;\"><em>Page 2<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sulfuric Acid plays an important role in the Zinc production (Leaching, Purifying, Electrolysis), Wilfley as Chemical pump manufacturer finds a niche on this application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #b72026; font-size: 16px;\"><b>CHALLENGES<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Customer used to have an extended list of applications with just one pump brand manufacturer.

With Wilfley Metallurgy, able to handle solids and run dry without causing damage to the pump and zero leakage while running, the AG pump rapidly became a satisfactory success story at their facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #b72026; font-size: 16px;\"><b>THE SOLUTION<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">More than 20 Wilfley AG pumps replaced previous pump manufacturer increasing customer plant reliability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #b72026; font-size: 16px;\"><b>THE RESULT<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wilfley became a confident customer partner on their spent acid applications for Zinc Plates production.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_enable_color=\u00bboff\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_color=\u00bb#F4F4F4&#8243; custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|20px|20px|20px|false|false\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/CHART1-1.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbCHART1&#8243; align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_color=\u00bb#F4F4F4&#8243; custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|20px|20px|20px|false|false\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb3_5&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #b72026; font-size: 20px;\"><b>AG PUMP<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Wilfley AG pump first ANSI B73.1 developed in 1969, simple design plus Wilfley Alloy 20 Metallurgy one of many materials designed to handle highly corrosive applications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And Wilfley Service for the life of the pump, selling complete units and spare parts for all our pumps.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bb@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjM3OTkifX0=@\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text=\u00bbView Product\u00bb button_alignment=\u00bbleft\u00bb button_alignment_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb button_alignment_phone=\u00bbcenter\u00bb button_alignment_last_edited=\u00bbon|tablet\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=\u00bbbutton_url\u00bb][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb2_5&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AG-PUMP.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbAG-PUMP\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; custom_padding=\u00bb|||0px|false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243; background_enable_color=\u00bboff\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb0px||20px||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||20px||false|false\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/zinc.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bbzinc\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.wilfley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Wilfley-CaseStudy-Zinc.pdf\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text=\u00bbDownload Case Study\u00bb button_alignment=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.7&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>AG DYNAMIC SEALED PUMPS BECAME A GREAT PLAYER IN ZINC PLATE PRODUCTION<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Zinc smelting is the process of converting zinc concentrates (ores that contain zinc) into pure zinc.
