The invention provides a method for recovering
germanium-
selenium-
arsenic and
arsenic-
selenium-
chalcogenide glass cold working mixed chips, which utilizes the physicochemical properties of all components in the
germanium-
selenium-
arsenic and arsenic-selenium-
chalcogenide glass cold working mixed chips, introduces a segmented vacuum
fractionation process, and enables water, oil and other low-boiling-point pollutants in raw materials to be recycled at different heating and condensing temperatures, so as to obtain the
germanium-selenium-arsenic and arsenic-selenium-
chalcogenide glass cold working mixed chips. The arsenic-
selenium compound and the elementary substance enter a
gas phase in sequence, and separation from the Ge-Se
binary compound and the high-boiling-point impurities is achieved; the
fractionation residue Ge-Se
binary compound is subjected to oxidizing
roasting, germanium concentrate and coarse selenium dioxide are obtained, the direct
recovery rate of germanium reaches 96.5%, and the comprehensive direct
recovery rate of selenium reaches 97.8%. The method effectively solves the problem of difficult
recovery of germanium-selenium-arsenic and arsenic-selenium
chalcogenide glass cold
processing mixed chips, realizes green and efficient cyclic utilization of rare and
precious metal elements in the material, is simple in process and environment-friendly, and provides support for benign development of the
chalcogenide glass industry in China.
