The processes for the preparation of ZnO powder by using EAF(electric arc furnace)dust was studied by wetting method which are divided to two steps, carried out of the elution processes by various concentrations of sulfuric acid is reacted with EAF dust as the former, and the latter were performed by a number of specified processes, which are leaching process depends on various pH, cementation, ozone and heat treatment processes etc. Experimental results showed that the appropriate pH range is pH7.5~8.0 and the resulting zinc content is range of 37~38%, the residual quantities of the heavy metals are less than 3ppm individually by cementation process except Mn, even though the Mn metal could not be removed by cementation process but was removed up to 0.2ppm by the ozone process from 70ppm initially. Finally, 80.2% of ZnO was obtained by the heat treatment at $500^{circ}C$.
