A pyro-metallurgical process for producing a non-ferrous metal or a compound thereof, wherein a metal raw material is fed into a rotary kiln, the metal being one of arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), nickel (Ni), or zinc (Zn). The raw material is heated to produce a volatized material, in which the non-ferrous metal or compound thereof is produced from the volatized material. A magnesium-based additive is additionally fed to the rotary kiln in an amount of between 0.5 wt. % and 9.5 wt. % relative to the total weight of the raw material. The magnesium-based additive is heated together with the raw material to produce the volatized material and a solid product while also counteracting ring formation in the rotary kiln.

[Object] To provide a method for processing steelmaking dust, a method for producing zinc, and a method for producing an iron- and steelmaking raw material, which are more advantageous than the Waelz method in terms of energy and economy.

[Solving Means] A method for processing steelmaking dust according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: adding a calcium compound containing Ca to steelmaking dust containing zinc, the number of moles of Ca being equivalent to or more than the number of moles of Fe in the steelmaking dust; and heating and reducing, in a furnace, the steelmaking dust to which the calcium compound has been added. A ratio of the number of moles of Ca in the calcium compound to the number of moles of Fe in the steelmaking dust is adjusted to be not less than 1.3 and not more than 1.5.
