Efficient management of man-caused resources is an actual direction of the development of Russian metallurgy. It is connected with the valuable components containing in stored production wastes. The method of hydrometallurgical processing of steelmaking Zn-containing dust is proposed. It is based on ammonia chloride leaching with consequent production of commercial zinc oxide.
