Zinc ore electrolytic processing usually involves roasting, leaching (digestion), purification, and electrowinning. 6.1.2.15 Zinc Concentrate Calcining or Roasting Calcining or roasting is common to both pyrometallic and electrolytic (a form of hydrometallurgy) zinc refining. Calcining is performed to eliminate sulfur and form leachable zinc oxide.
Lead-silver anode behavior for zinc electrowinning in ...
Abstract In recent years, a renewed interest in studying the electrochemical corrosion behavior of lead anodes during zinc electrowinning is probably due to the particularly high sulfuric acid concentrations in zinc electrolyte where lead alloy anodes have high cell voltage and high corrosion rate of lead. The high corrosion rate of lead alloy resulted in Pb contamination on zinc deposit.

Zinc: smelting, producing and classification-Metalpedia
Zinc is extracted from the purified zinc sulfate solution by electrowinning, which is a specialized form of electrolysis. The process works by passing an electric current through the solution in a series of cells. This causes the zinc to deposit on the cathodes (aluminium sheets) and oxygen to form at the anodes.
