Problems solved by technology

The biggest disadvantage of this method is that it has high requirements for raw materials and smelting conditions. If the lumpiness of raw materials is relatively fine, it will be difficult to ventilate the furnace. The method of secondary combustion to remove tar, etc.
[0013] Combining the method of vortex furnace smelting with the current process of extracting germanium, we explored the process of extracting germanium from lignite by burning pulverized coal, which is feasible in theory, but there are still many difficulties in practice.

Embodiment 2

[0088] Embodiment two. The process of extracting germanium from lump coal containing germanium

[0089] 1. the vortex furnace that adopts is with embodiment one;

[0090] 2. Method for extracting germanium from lump coal

[0091] (1) Pretreatment of lump coal:

[0092] Crush the lump coal into a particle size of less than 3mm, dry it so that the water content in the coal is less than 15%, and then prepare it as a charge suitable for vortex smelting;

[0093] (2) Lump coal combustion to extract germanium:

[0094] Add the pre-treated charge in step (1) on the top of the vortex furnace, and mix it with the hot air fed tangentially at a speed of 100m / s or more at 300-350°C to burn the lump coal violently and control the temperature of the vortex furnace. The CO content at the outlet is in the range of 0.5-1%. The flue gas generated by combustion is collected and the coal ash is discarded. The coal ash flows down the furnace wall and is discharged from the slag outlet. The high...

Abstract

The invention provides a process of germanium extraction from brown coal, which is germanium extraction by employing a cyclone furnace. The process includes that the brown coal is added in the cyclone furnace to mix with hot wind which is sent into the cyclone furnace, the brown coal is burned, the CO content inside the cyclone furnace is controlled within the range of 0.5-1%, germanium in the brown coal is reduced and volatilized into flue gas, and flue dust is collected as raw material of the germanium. The process can achieve the purposes that the flour shaped brown coal is fully used to enlarge the productivity of the germanium, the recovery ratio of the germanium is increased, and the excess energy is effectively recovered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a method for extracting germanium, especially a method for extracting germanium from coal. Background technique [0002] Germanium is a scattered element, a silver-gray brittle metal with semiconductor properties, so it is also called a semi-metal. With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's production level, germanium is widely used in industrial and agricultural production, military industry and people's daily life, and the extraction and metallurgy of germanium has also been greatly developed. [0003] my country's germanium resources are very rich, but because the distribution of germanium is too scattered, there are very few ore-forming minerals, and there is no separate deposit. Industrial production is mainly recovered from lead-zinc ore and extracted from coal. According to historical records, the methods for extracting germanium from lead-zinc ore mainly include recovery of germanium f...
