The invention discloses a method for efficiently leaching and extracting
germanium from
germanium-containing
zinc oxide smoke dust based on ultrasonic strengthening, and relates to the technical field of
metal metallurgy, the method comprises the specific steps of
raw material pretreatment, ultrasonic-assisted leaching,
solid-liquid separation and
zinc powder replacement
germanium precipitation, germanium-enriched
slag strengthened leaching and germanium enrichment and purification; according to the method, the ultrasonic leaching device is introduced, the leaching efficiency of germanium in the germanium-containing
zinc oxide smoke dust is improved, passive films on the surfaces of
smoke dust particles are effectively damaged through the action of the ultrasonic leaching device,
permeation of a leaching agent into the particles is accelerated, and therefore efficient leaching of germanium is achieved within a short time, and meanwhile the leaching efficiency of germanium in the germanium-containing zinc
oxide smoke dust is improved. According to the method, the
leaching rate of germanium is increased by optimizing the proportion and leaching conditions of the mixed leaching agent, the germanium
slag leaching solution is merged into the initial leaching solution, and a secondary enhanced leaching process of a subsequent zinc
powder replacement germanium
precipitation procedure is carried out, so that the maximum
recovery of germanium resources is ensured, the overall
resource utilization rate is increased, and the production cost is reduced.
