The results of the study of zinc behavior during nickel production from high-grade matte are presented. Zinc is one of the most unfavorable impurities for refining nickel production, as its removal from the scheme is extremely difficult. The distribution of zinc in semi-products of production is studied, the sources of input are found and the natural ways of withdrawal of the impurity are indicated. In addition, additional ways to remove zinc from the Kola Company's technological scheme were proposed.
