Abstract
Zinc dross is highly zinc-rich industrial waste produced during galvanization of steel. It is a byproduct of the reaction between molten zinc and loose iron particles in a molten zinc bath. Generally, 10–20% of galvanized zinc is converted into zinc dross. This work proposes a unique way of recycling of dross into a high value sustainable resource material leading to development of sacrificial anode used in cathodic protection of steel. The electrochemical behavior was studied in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The anode performance test was performed as per the standard DNV-RP-B401 in an artificial seawater solution. The performance parameters, (closed circuit potential (CCP), anode efficiency, and consumption rate) of the recovered zinc anode from dross, are close to the commercial zinc anodes. It satisfies the required anode criteria. Hence, the recovered zinc anode from dross could be used as a sacrificial anode for the cathodic protection of steel structures.
期刊介绍：
Sustainable Materials and Technologies (SM&T), an international, cross-disciplinary, fully open access journal published by Elsevier, focuses on original full-length research articles and reviews. It covers applied or fundamental science of nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development. SM&T gives special attention to contributions that bridge the knowledge gap between materials and system designs.
