Extracting agent for extracting germanium and gallium and extraction method using same

Abstract

The invention provides an extracting agent for extracting germanium and gallium and an extraction method using the same, relates to a hydrometallurgy extracting agent and in particular relates to an organic extracting agent for extracting germanium and gallium and an extraction method using the same. The extracting agent is characterized in that the extracting agent is O,O-dihydrocarbyl phosphorus hydroxamic acid the molecular formula of which is (RO)2P(O)NHOH, wherein in the formula, R is C5-C18 straight chain or branched chain alkyl, or C4-C14 straight chain or branched chain alkyl-substituted phenyl. The extracting agent provided by the invention has excellent extraction property, strong selectivity, high extraction rate and good phase splitting property on scattered metals such as germanium, gallium and the like. In the invention, O,O-dihydrocarbyl phosphorus hydroxamic acid is used as the extracting agent, so that germanium in an acidic aqueous solution can be extracted and enriched, or gallium in the acidic aqueous solution can be extracted and enriched, thereby realizing the separation of scattered metal germanium or gallium and elements such as zinc, iron, arsenic, manganese, calcium, magnesium and the like; and germanium and gallium in the acidic aqueous solution can also be extracted and separated step by step, thereby realizing the separation and enrichment of germanium and gallium.

Description

technical field

[0001] An extractant for extracting germanium and gallium and an extraction method thereof relate to a hydrometallurgical extractant, in particular an organic extractant for extracting gallium and germanium and an extraction method thereof. Background technique

[0002] my country is relatively rich in gallium and germanium resources, and the reserves of gallium and germanium rank first in the world. In recent years, with the rapid development of the information industry, the demand for gallium and germanium has also increased rapidly, and the comprehensive recovery of gallium and germanium has attracted widespread attention. Solvent extraction has many advantages in the comprehensive recovery of gallium and germanium. A lot of research has been done on gallium and germanium solvent extraction at home and abroad. The extraction agent is the key to the development of the extraction process. The technical and economic indicators of solvent extraction often depe...
