Abstract
Investigations were carried out for the recovery and separation of Lead and Zinc from the Sphalerite Ore of Kohistan-Hazara by acid leaching. Paramete rs like acid concentration, temperature and time of leaching were optimized for the maximum recovery of Lead and Zinc from the Ore. It was found that a recovery of 90% of Zinc and 70% of Lead could be obtained if the observed optimum conditions for the parameters studied are followed:
