ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for the treatment of a raw material which contains oxides and ferrites of zinc, copper and cadmium is disclosed, in which the raw material is neutral leached with a sulfuric-acid- bearing solution in order to leach the oxide without substantial dissolving of ferrite, the ferrite-bearing residue is separated, and a sulfuric-acid-bearing or ferrisulfate-bearing solution is mixed with the residue in order to leach the ferrite and to precipitate the iron as jarosite in the presence of alkali ions or ammonium ions under atmospheric conditions at 80-105 °C, the sulfuric-acid-bearing or ferrisulfate-bearing solution being added to the ferrite-bearing residue in such an amount that approximately 50-60 % of the ferrite dissolves and its iron precipitates as jarosite, the solid phase is dried and heated to so high a temperature that the zinc of the solid phase is con- verted to zinc sulfate and its iron to hematite according to the following reaction: (8) 3ZnFe2O4(s) + 2A[Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6](s) ? 3ZnSO4(s)+ A2SO4(s) + 6Fe2°3(s) + 6H2O(g), (A = Na, K) and finally the thus treated solid phase is slurried in water in order to leach the sulfates and to separate them from hematite.
