A method of sulfidation removal of zinc using hydrogen sulfide is provided, desirably
at a temperature at 60 C. or lower, wherein in a container that is pressurized
at 0.1 MPa or less with respect to atmospheric pressure, by making the pH of the
solution 1.5 to 4.0, and the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in gas 2 volume
% or greater in equilibrium with the hydrogen sulfide dissolved in the solution,
the zinc in solution is removed by sulfidation to 1 mg/liter or less.
