Most zinc is recovered from zinc sulphide ore that also contains sulphide of other metals as well as silicon dioxide and perhaps other materials. Physical methods are used first to eliminate some of the undesirable substances then the ZnS is heated to recover the zinc. For more details please see the wikipedia article for zinc.
