Hualian zinc smelter
Report summary
Hulian zinc smelter was originally found as Wenshan Dulong Tin Mine in 1958. In May 2016, after restructured by Yunnan Tin Co.Ltd, Hualian constructed its 100kt/a zinc smelting capacity to replace the old 60kt/a EF smelting capacity which was closed down permanently in 2018. This new smelter was put into production in Q4 2018, adopting the hematite removal process to avoid the jarosite disposal issue.
