The invention relates to a method for synchronously recovering
germanium tetrachloride from a
metal-state regenerated
germanium raw material through
oxychlorination, and belongs to the technical field of
germanium extraction
metallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a
metal-state regenerated germanium
raw material with
hydrochloric acid in a chlorination
distillation kettle, dropwise adding a
hydrogen peroxide solution in sections to react with
hydrochloric acid to generate a high-activity
chlorine species, and directly oxidizing and chlorinating
metal germanium to generate
germanium tetrachloride. In the process, the reaction is a strong
exothermic reaction, a product is distilled out by using heat released by the reaction, and the
reaction temperature is controlled at 82-84 DEG C through a
cooling medium. And after the reaction is basically completed, carrying out deep
distillation through a heating medium, and finally condensing and collecting to obtain a
germanium tetrachloride product. According to the method, a traditional multi-step process is integrated into one step, the process is short, alkali liquor does not need to be added, reaction heat is fully utilized, the energy-saving effect is remarkable, the germanium direct
recovery rate is high, and the problems that a traditional method is long in process, high in
energy consumption, large in auxiliary
material consumption and low in direct
recovery rate are effectively solved.
