Abstract

The invention provides a method for separating and recovering gallium in gallium arsenide sludge. The method comprises the following steps that (a) the gallium arsenide sludge and water are mixed according to the solid-to-liquid ratio being 1:(5-6) to form slurry, strong base is added for alkaline leaching, and lixivium is obtained after filtering is carried out; (b) the lixivium obtained throughthe step (a) is neutralized and filtered to obtain neutralizing slag; (c) the neutralizing slag obtained through the step (b), water and concentrated sulfuric acid are mixed to be subject to acid leaching silica removal, and gallium containing filter liquor is obtained after filtering; and (d) the gallium containing filter liquor and sodium hydroxide ate mixed to be subject to gallium deposition,and gallium hydroxide is obtained after filtering is carried out. Compared with the prior art, the method adopts specific processes of slurry alkaline leaching, neutralizing, acid leaching silica removal and gallium deposition, and separation and recovery of the gallium from the gallium arsenide sludge are achieved; the method for separating and recovering the gallium in the gallium arsenide sludge is high in recovery rate; and in addition, high temperature furnace burning is not needed, the energy consumption is low, and meanwhile, poisonous and harmful gas cannot be generated, and pollutionis avoided.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and more specifically, to a method for separating and recovering gallium in gallium arsenide sludge. Background technique [0002] Gallium (Ga) is one of the important rare metals. Gallium arsenide (chemical formula GaAs) relies on its high frequency, high electron mobility, low noise, high output power, low power consumption, high efficiency, good linearity, and resistance to distortion And other characteristics, has become one of the most important compound semiconductor materials. [0003] In the production process of gallium arsenide wafers, cutting, grinding, polishing and other processes will generate a large amount of waste water. The main pollutants are micron or nanometer gallium arsenide particles and emery particles that exist in a suspended state. The current treatment of such waste water is commonly used The coagulation sedimentation method with lime, iron salt and flocculant, and ...
