What is Zinc Concentrate?
Zinc ore is the primary source of metallic zinc. This compound contains a percentage of zinc metal, which manufacturers extract through various chemical processes and convert into zinc ingots.
Zinc ore is classified into three categories: low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. In Iran, several cities are actively involved in producing this material, with Zanjan being a major center for zinc ore sales. Zinc ore from Turkish mines is processed into ingots at the Zanjan plant. Buyers can purchase premium ingots directly from the Zanjan plant or invest in bulk offline purchases for profitable resale through online platforms.
