Abstract: A method for producing phosphorus in which a reaction for forming gaseous phosphorus (g) by bringing phosphorus oxide generated by heating a liquid phosphoric acid compound into contact with a carbon material to reduce the phosphorus oxide and for condensing the gaseous phosphorus (g) to obtain liquid phosphorus (L) is conducted by a flow reaction with a nonoxidizing gas flow, wherein the reduction reaction of the phosphorus oxide is conducted in a carbon material-packed bed, and the condensation of the formed gaseous phosphorus (g) is substantially conducted in a condensation accelerator-packed bed which is disposed downstream of the carbon material-packed bed in contact with the carbon material-packed bed.

Abstract: A method and a device for recovering zinc from electric furnace steelmaking dust, which are capable of recovering high-purity metal zinc for relatively short time. A Ca mixing and heating means obtains ZnO and 2CaO.Fe2O3 by mixing electric furnace steelmaking dust with calcium compound and performing heat treatment in a non-reducing atmosphere at not lower than 960° C. and not exceeding 1100° C. for one to three hours. An iron powder mixing means mixes the ZnO and 2CaO.Fe2O3 with iron powder, and compact the mixture. A reduction and volatilization means obtains a solid metal zinc piece by disposing a green compact in a decompression container 21, decompressing and heating the inside of the decompression container to generate zinc vapor, and cooling and coagulating the zinc vapor. A zinc acquisition means acquires lumpy zinc by immersing the metal zinc piece in a NaCl—KCl based multi-component chloride flux and cooling the flux solution.
