Problems solved by technology

This method realizes the recovery of tantalum in tantalum capacitors, but the process route is relatively complicated, and a large amount of waste acid and waste alkali solution will be produced during the recovery process. At the same time, chlorine gas is highly corrosive and toxic as a chlorination agent.
However, there are no studies on the separation and purification of tantalum and silver by electron beam melting

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering tantalum, silver, nickel and iron from a waste tantalum capacitor. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the waste tantalum capacitor is mechanically crushed, and metal and nonmetal are separated to obtain a metal material; then, the metal material is magnetically separated to separate out a nickel-iron magnetic material; then, a residue is screened to obtain silver-contained tantalum-enriched powder; then, the electronic beam smelting is performed for the tantalum-enriched powder, and metal silver is separated out through evaporation-condensation; and finally, a residual metal tantalum material (containing less tantalum oxide) is reduced to obtain high-purity metal tantalum. The method is simple, generates no poisonous gas and waste liquid in the whole process, prevents the environmental pollution caused by traditional thermometallurgy and hydrometallurgy, and realizes the resource utilization of the waste tantalum capacitor under environment-friendly condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering tantalum, silver, nickel and iron from waste tantalum capacitors, and belongs to the technical field of resource recovery and environmental protection. Background technique [0002] Tantalum capacitors are called tantalum electrolytic capacitors, which use rare metal tantalum as the medium, and there is no electrolyte inside the capacitor, which is suitable for working at high temperatures. Because of its wide operating temperature range and excellent volume efficiency, it is widely used in electronic products. With the rapid growth of the number of electronic products, the global demand for tantalum capacitors increased from 10 billion in 2001 to 30 billion in 2013. The huge demand for tantalum capacitors has increased the consumption of metal tantalum. However, tantalum is a rare metal, and its content in the earth's crust is only 7 parts per million. At present, the world's annual production of tan...
