Problems solved by technology

[0003] The technologies and inventions disclosed at present provide a lot of beneficial information for preparing high-purity gallium by crystallization, but the following problems still exist in the existing crystallization technology: 1. After the liquid gallium reaches the solidification ratio, it is inconvenient to separate the residual liquid gallium. Every time it is sucked out with a straw or poured out by some means, it is not conducive to simplifying the operation process, such as patent CN101082086A; 2. The purification process needs to be carried out in a clean room or a vacuum glove box, which is not conducive to reducing production costs, such as patent CN101082086A and patent CN1287575A

Abstract

The invention provides a device and a method for preparing high-purity gallium, aims at the problems of the existing high-purity gallium preparation technology and belongs to the fields of the preparation equipment and the preparation technology of the high-purity gallium. The device comprises an inner container, an outer container and a cover; the inner container is located inside the outer container; a cavity for cold water and hot water to circulate alternately is arranged between the inner container and the outer container; the drainage tube of the inner container extends out of the outer container via the drainage tube passing hole of the outer container; the inner container is hermetically connected with the outer container; the cover is fixed on the top of the device. The method comprises the following steps: putting coarse gallium into the inner container, introducing cooling water into the cavity between the inner container and the outer container to crystallize the gallium, when the solidification rate of the gallium is within the range of 90-97%, discharging the left liquid gallium and then introducing hot water to melt the gallium, next, introducing the cooling water, and repeating crystallization for 6-8 times to improve the purity, thereby obtaining the high-purity gallium of 6N or 7N. The application method of the device is simple and convenient to operate; the obtained gallium is high in purity and high in yield, and has favorable application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of high-purity gallium preparation equipment and preparation technology, and in particular relates to a device and method for preparing high-purity gallium. Background technique [0002] The existing preparation methods of high-purity gallium are mainly divided into two types: one is the indirect purification method, including: chemical extraction method, gallium trichloride method, metal organic compound synthesis method and microbial degradation method, etc., for example, patent CN103114214A discloses a A method for indirect production of high-purity gallium by using organic compound purification-thermal decomposition process. Patent US4666575 discloses a method for indirect production of high-purity gallium by adopting crude gallium-gallium trichloride-high-purity gallium process. In general, indirect purification The preparation process of the method is cumbersome and difficult to control, and the production scale...
