The invention discloses a
recovery method of a
quartz crucible after application of a Czochralski
single crystal, and relates to the technical field of
waste recovery. The method comprises the steps of sorting, grading and screening, preliminary cleaning, high-
temperature treatment (500-1000 DEG C, heat preservation for 4-8 hours), water
quenching and cooling, secondary screening, high-purity
fused quartz treatment and
cristobalite treatment. The core is that the
fused quartz and the
cristobalite are efficiently separated by utilizing the thermophysical property difference between the
fused quartz (the
thermal expansion coefficient is 0.5 * 10 <-6 > / DEG C) and the
cristobalite (the
thermal expansion coefficient is 11 * 10 <-6 > / DEG C) and the stress generated by
crystal form transformation (beta-alpha, and the
volume expansion is 2.8%) of the cristobalite. The fused
quartz silica
powder (used for
ceramic crucible coatings, PCBs and the like) and the high-purity cristobalite silica
powder (used for high-end ceramics, coatings and the like) with the purity larger than or equal to 99.995% can be obtained, the fused
quartz recovery rate reaches 74% or above, the whole process is
environmentally friendly and free of
pollution, the problems that an existing
recovery method is low in additional value and poor in product quality are solved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. And high value-added utilization of the scrapped
quartz crucible is realized.
