Pyrohydrolysis is a lixiviant regeneration process in which metal chlorides obtained from leaching either primary or secondary raw materials can be thermally decomposed into metal oxides and hydrogen chloride. Every metal chloride hydrolyses under different conditions, i. e. temperature and gas atmosphere, which opens up opportunities for metal separation. The separation of iron from zinc, lead and/or cadmium present as oxide, ferrite or silicate in both waste materials and ores through pyrohydrolysis is being investigated in both a tube furnace an a 100 mm diameter fluid bed. 1, record 4, English, - pyrohydrolysis

A hot-dip galvanising process in which the surface of mild-steel strip is lightly oxidised and then treated for about 2 minutes at 800 degrees Celsius in cracked ammonia. It is then passed directly to the molten zinc without coming into contact with air. A certain amount of nitriding takes place during the ammonia treatment which is primarily intended to reduce the oxide in the steel surface. 1, record 5, English, - Sendzimir%20process
