An experimental research was preformed for the development of an effective process for zinc oxide waste(zinc ash) reuse. Zinc was selectively leached from zinc ash by 30 vol.% D2EHPA In kerosine solution, and the leaching velocity was quite fast. Zinc leached was stripped by sulfuric acid solutions, and the amount of zinc stripped was linearly Increased with the amount of sulfuric acid used. Zinc oxide fine particles were obtained by dropwise adding of sodium hydroxide solution to the resultant aqueous zinc solution at 85$^{\circ}C$.

To recover phosphorus from incinerated sewage sludge ash(ISSA), ISSA were extracted with sulfuric acid solution, and the optimal phosphorus recovery conditions were experimented by comparing the recovered phosphorus contents and heavy metals by raising pH. Also the phosphorus recovery efficiency was compared when acid extract was reused or classified by particle size of ISSA. The optimal conditions for recovering phosphorus from ISSA were 1N sulfuric acid solution with an L/S ratio of 10, and an extraction time of 30 minutes. Considering the addition of alkali substances and the content of heavy metals in the recovered sediment, it is concluded to recover phosphorus under pH 5. Reuse of the ISSA extract increased the recovery rate of phosphorus by 14~21% depending on the reuse rate (100 and 50%), but it also increased zinc contents to 33 and 21%, and copper contents to 35 and 20%, respectively. The experiment of ISSA divided into four sections by particle size showed that there was no distinct advantage of phosphorous recovery by classification of certain particle size of ISSA. The removal of heavy metals from extracts through EDTA and cation exchange resin showed no definite effect.
