The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous
metallurgy. The invention relates to
tellurium dioxide, in particular to a method for producing high-quality
tellurium dioxide through self-purification of crude
tellurium powder. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out pressurized oxidation-pressure boiling treatment on a material containing crude tellurium
powder by utilizing a reaction container; after the reaction is finished, filtering a
reaction product to obtain autoclaved liquid, and carrying out oxidation
neutralization on the autoclaved liquid for
selenium removal, thus preparing high-quality
tellurium dioxide residue serving as a
raw material for following production of 4N tellurium; according to the method, self-purification of impurities in the crude tellurium
powder is achieved through oxidation
neutralization after pressurized oxidation-pressure boiling treatment, the content of
impurity elements in the produced
tellurium dioxide can be remarkablyreduced, the quality of the
tellurium dioxide is improved, and the subsequent refined tellurium production technological process is shortened. The method is short in process and low in cost, the effect of improving the quality of tellurium dioxide produced by taking crude tellurium powder as a
raw material is obvious, and the obtained tellurium dioxide
slag contains more than or equal to 70% of tellurium, less than 0.02% of
arsenic, less than or equal to 0.01% of
copper, less than or equal to 0.01% of
selenium, less than 0.01% of lead and less than 0.03% of
tin.
