Abstract

The invention discloses a high-purity metal refining method for limiting a molten zone by utilizing electromagnetic shielding. A zone melting device is of horizontal type, a heating power supply is a high-frequency induction power supply, a heat-resisting sealed tube quartz furnace tube is used as a furnace chamber, a metal raw material is placed in a quartz boat, a sealed isolation chamber is formed by adopting graphite clapboards for electromagnetic shielding, the width of the molten zone is strictly controlled, electromagnetic field interference among multiple molten zones is prevented simultaneously, and the zone melting device is allowed to be internally provided with two or more molten zone with adjustable width; heat dissipation of a cooling tube also plays a role in auxiliary control of the molten zones; a stepper motor numerical control platform is automatically controlled by adopting a computer to push the quartz furnace tube; and the combination of a high-purity argon purification machine and a vacuum pump is adopted to ensure an inert gas environment inside the quartz furnace tube and prevent pollution caused by atmosphere. The device adopted by the high-purity metal refining method is simple in structure, low in cost, stable to operate, and high in degree of automation, and the high-purity metal refining method is applicable to high-purity refining for low-melting-point metals such as indium, tin, bismuth, lead or zinc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-purity metal extraction method using electromagnetic shielding to limit the melting zone, which is suitable for high-purity extraction of low-melting point metals such as indium, tin, bismuth, lead, and zinc. Background technique [0002] The purity of metals produced by industrial electrolysis is usually up to about 4N (99.99%), while metals meeting the needs of the electronics industry need to reach 6N (99.9999%) or even higher purity. The zone smelting method is a pyro-refining method that deeply purifies metals, metal compounds or changes the distribution of impurities in the metal ingot. Its essence is to form a narrow melting zone (referred to as the melting zone) by locally heating the long and narrow metal ingot. And make it move slowly along the ingot in a certain direction, and use the difference in the equilibrium concentration of impurities between the solid phase and the liquid phase to segregate the impurit...
