Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tungsten extraction, in particular to a method for extracting tungsten from black tungsten wire alkali washing waste liquid. Background Art
[0002] With the booming semiconductor industry and the widespread application of photovoltaics, the demand for hard and brittle materials is increasing, and the performance parameters of these materials after processing are gradually narrowing. This is particularly true for silicon wafers, where precision cutting is particularly demanding. Currently, the rapid development of diamond wire in China has brought diamond wire prices close to parity. As silicon wafers become thinner, and diamond wire is a core consumable for achieving this thinning, the requirements for diamond wire specifications are becoming more stringent. Leading industry scientists believe that the four main directions for future diamond wire development are: thinner wire, efficient cutting, thinner wire conservation, and low Total Thickness Variation (TTV). With these four rapid developments, the development of tungsten diamond wire has become a top priority. For diamond wire manufacturers, using black tungsten wire, which offers the best value, is the fastest way to achieve cost reduction and efficiency gains.
[0003] However, black tungsten wire itself cannot be directly used for production. It needs to undergo surface treatment to clean the graphite on the surface and convert it into white tungsten wire for production. However, during the cleaning process, some tungsten is incorporated into the alkaline washing solution. Therefore, the tungsten in the solution is extracted and converted into tungsten oxide, which can reduce the company's production costs and the discharge of tungsten-containing wastewater. To this end, we have proposed a method for extracting tungsten from the alkaline washing wastewater of black tungsten wire. Summary of the Invention
