Problems solved by technology

The tannin precipitation method is easy to operate and has a high precipitation rate, but tannin is expensive and used in a large amount, generally 25 to 30 times the content of germanium, which is a one-time consumable, and the tannin organic matter contained in tannin will affect the subsequent The extraction process of cobalt and copper has a certain impact, and the price of tannin is relatively expensive, and the supply of tannin is limited
h 2 Although the S precipitation method has the advantages of fast germanium enrichment and good selectivity, the operating conditions are harsh, which is not conducive to production, and the H 2 S is toxic, the operating environment is poor, there are safety hazards in actual industrial production and the requirements for reaction devices are extremely high
The Fe-Ge co-precipitation method uses Fe 3+ Co-precipitate with Ge to recover germanium during hydrolysis and precipitation. This method has a better environment and no pollution, but if Fe in the feed solution 3+ The concentration is higher, and the Fe(OH) generated by hydrolysis in the solution 3 The amount of colloid is large, the content of iron in the slag is high, the grade of germanium is low, and the filtration performance of the slag is poor. 3+ If the concentration of germanium is low, it will not sink completely, so the Fe-Ge co-precipitation method has higher requirements on raw materials and has certain limitations.

Abstract

The invention relates to a treatment method for comprehensive resource recycling of dissipated metal germanium, in particular to a treatment method for carrying out precipitation recycling on germanium through metallic oxide. According to the treatment method, the metallic oxide is adopted as a neutral precipitation agent, a two-section neutralizing hydrolysis method is adopted, and the germanium is subjected to precipitation recycling from germanium containing material liquid. Compared with an existing germanium precipitation recycling process, the advantages of the method are remarkable, the metallic oxide is adopted as the neutral precipitation agent, and the two-section neutralizing hydrolysis method is adopted for treating germanium pre-precipitation liquid; operation is easy, the residue filtering performance is good, and the quantity of added auxiliary materials is small; and the total germanium precipitation rate can reach 98% or above, the grade of obtained germanium concentrates is about 6%-8%, and extraction and comprehensive recycling of the valuable metal germanium in the germanium containing material liquid can be achieved.
