Problems solved by technology

Most of them stay at the laboratory level, the scale is small, and there are many factors affecting the quality, so the quality is not stable
Electrolytic refining has achieved large-scale production, and the quality is relatively stable. However, due to the problem of lead materials and the multi-channel sources of raw materials, some new impurity elements are brought, and the electrolytic refining method is not very effective; moreover, the electrolytic refining process is long and difficult. Occupies a lot of gallium, strict environmental requirements, and high energy consumption. In the current market competition, it has encountered severe challenges

Abstract

The invention discloses a large-scale production method for preparing high purity gallium, which adopts a partial crystallization purification technique to implement the operation, and comprises the following steps of: placing a seed crystal of metal gallium into the bottom part of a crystallization vessel; filling liquid metal gallium into the crystallization vessel; cooling the bottom part of the crystallization vessel, and setting the technical conditions of the fractional crystallization that a temperature gradient is 1.1 to 1.4 DEG C/cm and the temperature is kept uniform in the horizontal direction; and maintaining an average crystallization speed of 3.3 to 4.2g/min and a crystallization interception ratio of 75 to 90 percent. Compared with the prior art, the method has good purification effect, high conversion efficiency, low consumption of electric power and no application of chemical agent and can realize the mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a purification method, in particular to a large-scale production method for preparing high-purity gallium using a partial crystallization purification process. Background technique [0002] Gallium is an expensive rare metal and one of eleven strategically important rare metals controlled by the state. High-purity gallium is mainly used in microwave communications, lasers, LEDs, high-speed optoelectronic integrated circuits, silicon photovoltaic doping, space solar cells, high-efficiency concentrating triple-junction solar cells, and high-efficiency magnetic materials. [0003] Gallium used in the field of modern electronic science must have a purity of more than 6N, so many methods for purifying gallium have been developed. There are: chemical extraction method, electrolytic refining method, VGF method, regional smelting method and controlled single crystal method. Most of them stay at the laboratory level, the scale is smal...
