Problems solved by technology

A lot of research has been done on the recovery of gallium, germanium and indium by solvent extraction at home and abroad. For example, LIX63 has good selectivity for extracting germanium from high-concentration sulfuric acid solution, but the concentration of alkali required for reverse extraction with organic loads is high, which will damage the extractant. Large, resulting in short service life of the extractant; Kelex100 extracts gallium from alkaline sodium aluminate solution, and then applies it to sulfuric acid solution to extract germanium
Both of the above two extractants have the disadvantages of difficult synthesis, high price, and large loss during the extraction process.
The YW100 and G315 hydroxamic acid extractants synthesized in my country can also selectively extract germanium from the sulfuric acid medium containing germanium, but they have the disadvantages of high water solubility and the third phase of the extraction process.
However, there are few reports on the selective extraction of gallium indium from sulfuric acid solutions containing a large amount of impurities such as zinc, iron, nickel, cobalt, and cadmium.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for selectively extracting and recycling gallium, germanium and indium from sulfuric acid leach liquid of zinc displacement residues. The method includes selectively extracting the germanium from the sulfuric acid leach liquid of the zinc displacement residues by the aid of synergistic extraction systems comprising hydroxamic chelate extraction agents and acidic phosphorus type extraction agents; recycling acid from germanium extraction raffinate by the aid of a diffusion dialysis process and finely adjusting the germanium extraction raffinate until a pH (potential of hydrogen) value of the germanium extraction raffinate is appropriate; selectively extracting the gallium and the indium from the germanium extraction raffinate by the aid of synergistic extraction systems comprising hydroxamic chelate extraction agents and carboxylic acid extraction agents. The method has the advantages that the germanium, the gallium and the indium can be effectively separated from foreign metal ions of iron, zinc, cadmium, nickel, cobalt and the like; the germanium, the gallium and the indium are high in recycling rate, good germanium, gallium, indium and foreign matter separation effects can be realized, technological processes are short, the extraction agents are long in service life and low in loss, and the method is low in cost and easy to industrialize.
