Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrothermic Metallurgy of Zinc Zinc smelting is frequently termed a backward art. The term is hardly true, for great progress has been made in recent years in the design and in the thermal efficiency of the retort furnace, in the quality of retorts, in the recovery of zinc, and in the ability to treat more impure and complex ores. The fact remains, however, that the peculiar physical and chemical properties of zinc have delayed such immense advances - large smelting units, high recovery, low unit costs, and ability to treat low-grade ores - as have been made in the metallurgy of lead and copper.
