Pb dross has been generated from recycling processes of waste acid lead batteries, and proper treatment of Pb dross was required because it contains As component, which has been found to be toxic. This study is aimed at concentrating As component by magnetic separation of ground product obtained from ball and mixer milling of Pb dross. No arsenic component was detected in the non-magnetic product of 10000 G magnetic separation using ground product with $-150{\mu}m$ by ball milling, and As could be concentrated upto 18.87 % by further 2000 G magnetic separation. The ball mill ground product with over $300{\mu}m$ was ground again by mixer mill to less than $150{\mu}m$, and then magnetic-separated by 4000 G followed by 2000 G magnet. The As component was concentrated upto 21.021 % in the magnetic fraction of 2000 G. It was confirmed that As component exsit as $Fe_2As$ by XRD measrument. These results indicate that As component could be concentrated from 0.6 % in the Pb dross to 21.021 % in the magnetic fraction by milling followed by magnetic separation.
