N2 - Embodiments of the invention relate to a process for removing fluoride from a solution or suspension containing zinc, in particular a solution of zinc sulfate, a defluoridated solution of zinc sulfate obtainable by such a process, its use as well as processes for producing zinc and hydrogen fluoride or hydrofluoric acid. The process for removing fluoride comprises (i) providing a solution or suspension A containing zinc, wherein the solution or suspension A containing zinc further contains fluoride ions; (ii) adding a solution B containing a dissolved salt of a rare earth element to the solution or suspension A containing zinc, wherein a solid comprising a rare earth element fluoride and a solution C containing zinc are formed; and (iii) separating the solid from the solution C containing zinc, wherein the solution C containing zinc has a lower concentration of fluoride ions than the solution or suspension A containing zinc.
