Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] A method for extracting gallium and germanium from zinc smelting slag relates to a method for wet extraction of metal gallium and germanium from zinc smelting slag. Background technique
[0002] Gallium and germanium are rare metals. There are few separate deposits in nature, and most of them are associated with other minerals. Gallium and germanium are mainly found in sphalerite, nepheline, muscovite, spodumene, bauxite and coal mines. In the traditional zinc hydrometallurgy process, more than 98% of gallium and germanium are enriched in neutral leaching or low-acid leaching residue, and the comprehensive recovery value is extremely high. The comprehensive recovery of scattered metals in the zinc smelting process is an important way to obtain gallium and germanium. The comprehensive extraction of gallium and germanium can not only make full use of mineral resources, reduce production costs, improve economic benefits, but also reduce environmental poll...
