Embodiment 1

[0040] Embodiment 1: A method for recovering germanium from germanium-containing polymetallic materials, wherein the main chemical components of germanium-containing polymetallic materials are shown in the table below.

[0041]

[0042] The specific recycling steps are as follows:

[0043] In the first step, in a 3000L reactor for chemical distillation, take 500kg of multi-metal materials containing 0.40% germanium, the amount of germanium metal is 2.0 kg, add 500L of tap water, start stirring, and dissolve and disperse the multi-metal materials containing germanium Finally, add 500L of industrial hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 10 mol / L.

[0044] In the second step, after the reaction until the solution no longer produces gas, slowly add 25kg of ammonium fluoride solid, and control the reaction temperature of the solution at 45-55°C.

[0045] In the third step, after 1 hour of reaction, slowly add 20 kg of potassium permanganate to further oxidize and decompose ...

Abstract

A method for recovering germanium from a germanium-containing multi-metal material belongs to a germanium extracting method in the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a technical method for recovering germanium from the multi-metal material containing the germanium, gallium, tin, copper, silver and the like. The method comprises the following steps: as for the germanium-containing multi-metal material of which the germanium content is higher than 0.1%, carrying out oxidation pretreatment on the material by water, hydrochloric acid, ammonium fluoride and potassium permanganate, then recovering the germanium with a distillation separation method, hydrolyzing obtained germanium tetrachloride containing part of fluoride into germanium dioxide, and carrying out secondary distillation and purification after removing fluorine by sulfuric acid to prepare high-purity germanium dioxide. According to the technical method, the recovery rate of germanium can reach more than 95%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a method for extracting germanium in the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a process method for recovering germanium from multi-metal materials containing germanium, gallium, tin, copper, silver and the like. Background technique [0002] In the hydrometallurgy process of lead and zinc, especially in the sulfuric acid neutral leaching process of zinc calcine, a large amount of materials rich in germanium, gallium, tin, copper, silver and other valuable metals will be produced. Because the material contains high rare and precious metals such as germanium, gallium and silver, as well as a large amount of tin, copper, lead, zinc and other metals, it has extremely high recycling value. For example, a lead-zinc production plant can produce more than 4,000 tons of such materials in a year, containing as much as 16 tons of rare metal germanium, worth more than 180 million yuan, and containing as much as 16 tons of galliu...
