Technical field
The invention belongs to resource recovery technical field, particularly to the recovery technology of the indium metal in waste liquid crystal display screen.
Background technology
Liquid-crystal display (LCD) develops rapidly from the nineties in 20th century, and progressively move to maturity, due to its have that sharpness is high, image color good, environmental protection, power saving, the frivolous and advantage such as to be easy to carry, be widely used in household electrical appliance, computer and communication products.In recent years, the output of China's LCD product increases substantially.The LCD TV annual production of China in 2004 is less than 1,000,000; Between 2004 ~ 2007 years, the output of the annual computer liquid-crystal display of China is all more than 6,000 ten thousand; Domestic flat panel Liquid Crystal panel production capacity, from 2008 from the original share less than the whole world 1%, develops into global 21% share in 2012.Along with the operation of some large scale liquid crystal panel production lines, inland of China panel production capacity will exceed China Taiwan in 2015, leap to the second in the world.A large amount of uses of LCD product become one of main source that is current and electron wastes in the future.
Current liquid crystal display is the glass substrate sealing utilizing epoxy resin two panels to be carved with indium electrode mostly, injects liquid crystal, then outside two pieces of glass substrates, overlays polaroid, thus the liquid crystal display device that formation one is complete.Therefore reclaim and to be with the key of the brilliant screen that disposes waste liquid how polaroid, glass substrate and the ito film three that is used for scribing indium electrode to be separated effectively.
Recovery for waste liquid crystal display screen has had relevant report, such as, after waste liquid crystal display panel breaks by the Qin Wenlong in Taiwan, inserts in sealed furnace and processes, be separated plated film oxide compound and sheet glass; Village's paddy profit of Japan is bright to be pulverized the useless LCD containing tin indium oxide, utilizes acid to be dissolved by tin indium oxide, adds displacement metal, indium is separated out; The scholar Kae-LongLin in Taiwan utilizes the glass waste of liquid-crystal display to replace potter's clay, produces ecological brick.
But adopt the rate of recovery of the separation method indium of the Qin Wenlong in Taiwan lower than 60%, the concentration ratio of indium concentrate is low, owing to adopting, pyrogenic process volatilizees, energy consumption is excessive, and production technique is uneconomical, cannot realize industrialization.
Village's bright separation method of paddy profit of Japan directly shields waste liquid crystal as indium raw materials for production, lack the enrichment process of leading portion, and the content of indium is only 300 ~ 600ug/g in waste liquid crystal screen, so directly acid-soluble result is exactly, indium yield is low, leach liquor indium concentration is low, production cost is too high, cannot realize industrialization.
The method that the scholar Kae-LongLin in Taiwan proposes utilizes the glass waste of indicating meter to replace potter's clay, and it is feasible for producing ecological brick, but does not design realistic plan for the recovery of indium, fails waste liquid crystal screen to realize comprehensive synthetical recovery.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is the method for indium in synthetical recovery waste liquid crystal display screen while of proposing a kind of green separation technique.
The present invention includes following steps:
1) waste liquid crystal display screen is carried out cleaning, drying with water, obtain clean waste liquid crystal display screen;
2) at two outer sides of the waste liquid crystal display screen of cleaning, sucker is set respectively, by drawing sucker outward, waste liquid crystal display screen is separated, obtains the glass sheet of exposed liquid crystal surface;
3) carrying out mill to the liquid crystal surface of the glass sheet of exposed liquid crystal surface scrapes until after exposing glass coating, and the glass sheet after scraping with high pressure water washing mill, obtains the mixture be made up of liquid crystal, indium concentrate and water;
4) carry out roasting after the mixture be made up of liquid crystal, indium concentrate and water being removed portion of water, obtain indium concentrate; Again indium concentrate is obtained thick indium through leaching, extraction, aluminium row displacement.
The removals such as the dust that waste liquid crystal display screen surface can be pasted by step 1) by the present invention, obtain clean waste liquid crystal display screen, to make other impurity brought into without the need to consideration during subsequent disposal.
The present invention is by step 2) physical method by two sheet glass splits of compound, make liquid crystal surface wherein out exposed, so that following process.
Liquid crystal, ito film, a small amount of glass mill are scraped and are isolated glass basis from the sheet material of split by step 3) by the present invention successively, glass sheet again after high pressure water washing mill is scraped, liquid crystal, ito film and a small amount of glass and water mixing can be made, so that following process, the glass sheet after high pressure water washing mill is scraped then leaves the glass sheet that clean outer side has polaroid.
The present invention extracts more than the 4N high purity indium meeting " YS/T257-2009 " from the mixture be made up of liquid crystal, indium concentrate and water by step 4), particularly adopt the mode of roasting, due to liquid crystal because its main component is organism, at high temperature most of component is decomposed into innocuous gas, by directly discharging after drip washing, therefore the present invention adopts the mode of roasting, can liquid crystal in effective, innoxious ground decomposition of the mixture.In addition, the leached mud principal constituent obtained after leaching by indium concentrate is silicon, can be used as brick-making raw material.
To sum up, the method that present invention process adopts green physical sepn and hydrometallurgy to combine, production efficiency is high, each major parts of waste liquid crystal screen can be turned waste into wealth, resource regeneration rate is high, indium recovery is greater than 90%, whole process environmental protection, avoids the negative impact that acid or organic solvent because using nitric acid and acetone one class high volatility bring.
Further, in step 1) of the present invention, by described scavenging solution with 1.5 ~ 3kg/cm
2spray pressure flushing waste crystal display screen, the moisture after rinsing on waste aspiration crystal display screen, then the environment being placed in 70 ~ 80 DEG C is dried.This pressure flushable fall waste liquid crystal screen surfaces more than 90% dust, can not developing result be ensured lower than this pressure; Energy dissipation is caused higher than this pressure.Dry in 70 ~ 80 DEG C of environment and both ensure that drying effect, in turn ensure that waste liquid crystal screen can not be out of shape.Lower than this temperature, possible residuary water is too much, affects next procedure; Higher than this temperature, one is that energy consumption increases, and two is easily cause waste liquid crystal to shield distortion, and rear road stripping plate and nog plate operation cannot be carried out smoothly.
In described step 3), before mill is scraped, add water.Adding the wettable waste liquid crystal screen surfaces of water retting before polish-brush, one is the generation that can reduce dust when polish-brush like this, and two is that when can guarantee polish-brush, waste liquid crystal screen is ground rear temperature and raises limited, can not be out of shape in treating processes.
In described step 3), tNonwovens grinding roller is adopted to carry out polish-brush to the surface of waste liquid crystal panel glass.TNonwovens grinding roller is the nylon fiber with high-quality, abrasive material such as bonding corundum, silicon carbide etc., by nonwovens process, and the new grinding product having tridimensional network of formation.With three-dimensional tNonwovens nylon 66 fiber that is open and whippy structure be base cloth, abrasive material all should be adhered thereto, therefore there is workpiece surface of not burning, do not change workpiece size, durable, efficient, from sharp (anti-blocking), smooth finish high.TNonwovens can use under the environment of water, oil or other etching reagent, does not worry getting rusty as steel wire lump and the problem such as common sand paper drop.Consider the hardness that waste liquid crystal screen needs liquid crystal surface under polish-brush and ito film, and consider polish-brush lower glass substrate few as much as possible, consider to polaroid without polish-brush effect simultaneously, by theory deduction and experimental verification, select tNonwovens grinding roller to be optimal selection.
In described step 3), the spray pressure rinsing the high pressure water grinding the glass sheet after scraping is 10 ~ 15kg/cm
2.Owing to containing liquid crystal in the material under polish-brush, so there is certain viscosity, the glass baseplate surface after mill can be attached to, it must could be separated from glass substrate, through verification experimental verification lower than 10kg/cm by high pressure washing
2pressure, the material under polish-brush is difficult to flushing and gets off, more than 15kg/cm
2pressure, can energy dissipation be caused again; So select flushing pressure 10 ~ 15kg/cm
2both ensure that developing result reached requirement, considered energy-conservation needs again simultaneously.
Be greater than 10% in order to indium in indium concentrate is concentrated into content, in described step 4), the temperature of roasting is 400 ~ 500 DEG C.As maturing temperature decomposes not exclusively lower than 400 DEG C of liquid crystal, then cause energy dissipation higher than 500 DEG C; Material even can be caused to sinter if temperature continues to increase to over 700 ~ 800 DEG C, thus reduce the leaching yield of indium in later process.
In described step 4), for containing quality≤60% in the mixture of roasting.If water ratio is higher than 60%, greatly will increases the energy consumption of calcining process, increase the time of calcining process simultaneously; Or in specific time, roasting is incomplete, and liquid crystal decomposes not exclusively.
In described step 4), described leaching is: indium concentrate being impregnated in temperature is in the dilution heat of sulfuric acid of 85 ~ 95 DEG C, gets each solid phase respectively and pH is the liquid phase of 1 ~ 2 after dipping through cooling.As temperature is too low, leaching yield declines; As temperature is too high, one is that leaching yield increase is not obvious, and two is that energy consumption increases, and three is that acid gas volatilization increases, and environmental protection pressure becomes greatly.In reaction process as pH higher than 2 time, add dilute sulphuric acid on a small quantity.
In described step 4), dilute sulphuric acid concentration≤20% added, discontinuous adds, and initial reaction stage adds by reaction theory consumption, if use excessive concentrations sulfuric acid, then meeting very exothermic in adition process, solution causes solution to splash, and produces potential safety hazard.
In described step 4), needing the pH of the liquid phase after controlled cooling model to be 1 ~ 2, pH is 1 ~ 2, can ensure the leaching yield of indium, the conditional request of road extraction process after simultaneously ensureing; If pH is lower than 1, leaching yield increases limited, but leach liquor Free Acid increases, and also needs before extraction to add sheet alkali heightening pH value, adds cost consumption; If pH is higher than 2, leaching yield significantly reduces, and the rate of recovery of indium cannot ensure.
In the present invention, the extraction of indium can adopt maturation process, can guarantee that indium percentage extraction is greater than 99%, and ensures selectivity and the continuity optimum of extraction.
In described step 4), described aluminium row displacement is: first with pH to 2 ~ 2.5 of sodium hydroxide adjustment strip liquor, then in strip liquor, drop into aluminium, react indium concentration≤10ug/ml to liquid phase, from aluminium, row obtains thick indium.If pH value is lower than 2, acid unnecessary in solution can increase the consumption of aluminium row, produces waste; If pH is higher than 2.5, indium may be hydrolyzed to indium hydroxide in the solution, and replacement(metathesis)reaction cannot be proceeded.Reaction is the reaction end as displacement to indium concentration≤10ug/ml in liquid phase, and at this moment residual in solution indium amount is very low, can give up.
In order to make the higher indium product of purity, also thick indium can be passed through the electrolytic refining process as maturations such as electrolysis, by indium and other magazins' layout.
