The invention discloses a preparation method of
metal germanium. The preparation method comprises the following steps: primary crushing of raw materials; a
germanium-containing material is selected and put into a
ball mill to be smashed; adding alkali and leaching; adding alkali into the crushed
germanium-containing material for leaching;
roasting is performed; the germanium-containing material obtained after leaching is put into a
roasting furnace to be roasted till the germanium-containing material becomes yellow; performing secondary crushing; taking out the roasted germanium-containing material, and further crushing in a Raymond mill; performing chlorination
distillation; putting the crushed germanium-containing material into a closed reaction kettle, introducing
chlorine, and distilling to obtain
germanium tetrachloride; performing secondary
distillation; putting
germanium tetrachloride obtained by
distillation into a closed reaction kettle, and adding 2N
hydrochloric acid for secondary distillation; performing
hydrolysis; putting the
germanium tetrachloride subjected to secondary distillation into a reaction kettle, adding pure water, hydrolyzing, filtering and
drying to obtain
germanium dioxide; performing reduction; putting
germanium dioxide into a closed
quartz boat, heating to 1100 DEG C, and adding
hydrogen and
oxygen for reduction to obtain a germanium
ingot; melting into a strip shape; performing
ultrasonic detection to obtain a finished product.
