Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering germanium from a sulfate solution, comprising the following steps: under acidic conditions, adding iron powder to reduce ferric iron in the sulfate solution to ferrous iron, then adding a complexing agent, and mixing uniformly Form an aqueous phase and adjust the pH of the aqueous phase; add a modifier that inhibits co-extraction of arsenic to the acidified tertiary amine kerosene, mix uniformly to form an organic phase, and mix the aqueous phase and the organic phase for extraction to obtain an organic phase containing germanium; Sodium hydroxide strips the germanium-containing organic phase to obtain a high-concentration germanium solution. The invention overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional tannin precipitation method, zinc powder replacement method, ion exchange method and traditional tertiary amine extraction, greatly improves the separation efficiency of germanium, and saves production costs. The selective extraction of germanium in the polymetallic sulfuric acid solution containing germanium by the tertiary amine extractant was realized by adopting processes such as reduction of Fe powder and addition of arsenic-inhibiting co-extraction modifier in the organic phase. The method has simple steps, good effect and easy industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of recovery of scattered metals and treatment of hazardous wastes, and more particularly relates to a method for recovering germanium from sulfate solution. Background technique [0002] Germanium is an important scattered metal, which is widely used in the fields of semiconductors, catalysts and optical devices. In nature, germanium is rarely ore-formed alone, and germanium is generally associated with copper, lead, zinc ore and some coal mines, and its content is often extremely low, which makes the extraction and separation of germanium more difficult. At present, many countries have listed germanium as an important strategic resource, so the metallurgical extraction of germanium is still an extremely important research direction. [0003] In industry, germanium is generally recovered from the lead-zinc smelting system and some coal-fired soot. Whether it is processing the by-products of the lead-zinc ...
