Zinc is a metal in the middle of the activity series.
So it is found either in sulphide or carbonate ore..
For sulphide--
Zinc sulphide is first converted into oxide as it is easier to obtain metals from it's oxides. For a sulphide ore ,zinc sulphide is heated in the presence of oxygen,this is called roasting
2ZnS + 3O2 —————-2ZnO + 2SO2
For Carbonate--
Zinc is heated in absence oxygen.This process is called calcination.
ZnCO₃ (on calcination) → ZnO + CO₂
Then zinc oxide is reduced to give Zn.
ZnO+C----Zn + Co
