In this study, the selective chlorination and evaporation rate of the Fe O –ZnFe O –ZnO–PbO mixture or practical electric arc furnace dust with 2 3 2 4 Ar–Cl –O gas was measured at 1073 K by gravimetry and the effects of partial pressures of chlorine and oxygen on 2 2 the Zn and Pb removal rates were investigated. Zinc oxide and lead oxide contained in the oxide mixture were selectively chlorinated and zinc and lead chlorides evaporated to gas phase, while iron oxide remained as oxide in a residue. By chlorinating with Ar–Cl2 gas, over 99 % of zinc and lead was removed from oxide mixture as well as about 3 % of iron was lost by the chlorination and evaporation reactions. Selective chlorination using Ar–Cl –O gas was 2 2 conducted to decrease the loss of iron and improve the efficiency of the selective chlorination and evaporation re
