Problems solved by technology

The innovations of the above-mentioned existing crystallization methods for purification of the prior art mainly focus on temperature field control and the continuous use of multiple methods, but no attention has been paid to the separation of crystallization mother liquor and crystal gallium after crystallization and the control of crystal growth direction; and The existing crystallization process adopts crystallization from the bottom, the final gallium crystal is on the bottom, and the crystallization mother liquor is on the top
[0010] In addition, due to the unevenness of the crystallization surface and the crystallization mother liquor only accounting for about 15%, it is difficult to separate the solid from the liquid; at present, the method of gradually extracting the upper liquid with a spoon is used in production to realize the solid-liquid separation, and the liquid is separated and then heated and melted Crystal emits high-purity gallium from the bottom
The above-mentioned process and operation have the following problems: (1) The separation of crystalline gallium and the crystallization mother liquor is not complete; (2) The incompletely decomposed mother liquor will cause pollution of high-purity gallium due to the enrichment of a large amount of impurities; (3) The whole system is difficult to Realize mechanized control; (4) It is difficult to control the crystal growth direction, and there are problems such as entrainment, resulting in low purification efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a gallium purification device and method. The gallium purification device comprises a cooling assembly, a seed crystal assembly and a crystallizing tank assembly. The crystallizing tank assembly is located under the seed crystal assembly and fixedly connected with the seed crystal assembly. The cooling assembly comprises a cooling fluid storage tank, a cooling jacket and aconnecting pipe for connecting the cooling fluid storage tank with the cooling jacket. The crystallizing tank assembly comprises a delivery pipe, a crystallizing tank, a discharge pipe and a diaphragm. The crystallizing tank comprises an crystallizing tank upper portion and a crystallizing tank lower portion. The diaphragm is located between the crystallizing tank upper portion and the crystallizing tank lower portion in a separation mode. The delivery pipe and the discharge pipe both communicate with the crystallizing tank. The included angle theta is formed between the crystallizing tank upper portion and the horizontal direction. The included angle alpha is formed between the crystallizing tank lower portion and the horizontal direction. The diameter of the horizontal cross section ofthe crystallizing tank upper portion gradually increases from top to bottom. The crystallizing tank upper portion is partially or totally wrapped by the cooling jacket. Through the gallium purification device and method, a temperature field can be provided. The gallium purification device conducts crystallization under the temperature field and can gradually move downwards from the upper surface of molten gallium in the gallium crystallization process.
