It has been observed that steel structures subjected to slurry exposure in zinc mines get corroded quite early as zinc slurry contains different type of chemicals. Even coatings get damaged over some time due to the process being adopted in converting minerals to slurry.
Do we have some alternative solution to prevent corrosion of structure in zinc mines?
Dear sir Om Prakash Chhangani ;
there are two ways for long-term corrosion protection to steel in zinc mines, first as a physical barrier to corrosion and secondly by means of cathodic or sacrificial protection that is unique to zinc. more details are in the following reference;

Dear sir Om Prakash Chhangani;
Feel atoms are known to be corrosive. They are easily replaced by others in aggressive environments with acids. Methods such as hot-dip galvanizing of somans are used to reduce corrosion activity in order to create a protective coating of 20 to 30 μm. Our latest research shows that the use of nano-galvanized powder can protect the corrosion of steel from 25 to 30 years. Barrier layers are created which do not allow the oxidation of the steel.
