Description

A method of using melten salt electriochemistry method thick indium is recycled from useless ITO powder
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of methods recycling thick indium from useless ITO powder using melten salt electriochemistry method, belong to fused salt electrification Learn technical field.
Background technology
Indium is a kind of important electronic industrial material, because its light permeability and electric conductivity are strong, be mainly used for light-emitting diodes light, The manufacture of the devices such as laser tube, liquid crystal display and liquid crystal pick-up tube is especially used to produce ITO target.Due to indium in the world By-product of the 90% of yield from Lead And Zinc Smelter, therefore indium belongs to scarce resource, and the recycling of indium then seems particularly It is important.
Content of the indium oxide in ITO is about 90%, currently, the utilization rate of ITO target sputter coating is generally 30%, residue Part becomes ITO waste materials, and leftover pieces, cutting, the waste product etc. generated in ITO productions all can serve as the secondary money of indium production Source.Due to the shortage and rise in price of indium, efficient, low cost, environmental-friendly indium recovery process are studied from discarded ITO powder And technology is very important.
Currently, including mainly acid extracting for the method for the recycling extraction indium metal from ITO waste materials, ion-exchange, molten Agent extraction etc. chemically and physically purifies the process integration being combined.103590072 A of patent CN disclose a kind of high purity indium Target fragment is carried out redox reaction using activated carbon in reduction furnace and obtains indium stannum alloy, then used by preparation method The method separation indium metal tin of molten-salt electrolysis simultaneously carries out re-electrolysis purification indium, obtains high purity indium.This method is to use activated carbon Indium tin is restored, and indium is purified using melten salt electriochemistry method to obtain high purity indium.But the patent application still remains need Reducing agent progress reduction roasting is added and obtains indium stannum alloy, the shortcomings of type is more, and flow is complex are added in raw material.
Invention content
The problem of existing for the above-mentioned prior art and deficiency, the present invention provide it is a kind of using melten salt electriochemistry method from useless The method that thick indium is recycled in ITO powder.The present invention uses molten-salt electrolysis according to the difference according to ITO powder and electrolyte decomposition voltage The useless ITO powder of method Direct Electrolysis recycles thick indium.The invention is realized by the following technical scheme.
A method of thick indium being recycled from useless ITO powder using melten salt electriochemistry method, specifically includes following steps:
5wt% poly-vinyl alcohol solutions are added into useless ITO powder and then are uniformly mixed for step 1, are pressed into 10 ~ 15mm's of diameter Disc-shaped material;
Step 2, by the disc-shaped material drying at room temperature of step 1 for 24 hours after, in air atmosphere 800 ~ 1200 DEG C sintering 4h burnt Tie material;
Step 3, under complete argon gas atmosphere(It passes first into purity and is 99.9% argon gas 20min, then start to warm up), will be electrolysed Matter is heated to 450 DEG C of fusings, under being kept the temperature at 450 DEG C, liquid metal cathode is placed at the top of molten electrolyte layer, step 2 is obtained Sintered material be put into molten electrolyte layer, at this time sintered material due to density contrast be suspended in molten electrolyte and liquid gold Between belonging to cathode, graphite anode is inserted on molten electrolyte, decomposition voltage is 3V, current density is 0.8 ~ 1.0 A/cm2Item It is electrolysed 4h under part, indium stannum alloy is obtained inside liquid metal cathode.
Useless ITO powder and poly-vinyl alcohol solution mass ratio are 8 ~ 9 in the step 1:0.8~1.2.
Electrolyte is molar ratio 58.2 in the step 3:41.8 lithium chloride and potassium chloride mixed electrolyte.Molar ratio 58.2:41.8 lithium chloride and potassium chloride is that the molar ratio of their eutectic points forms.
Liquid metal cathode is liquid metal indium or tin in the step 3.
Add the sintered material of a piece of step 2 during the step 3 into molten electrolyte every 15min.
According to calculation of thermodynamics, due to the decomposition voltage of indium oxide and tin oxide at 450 DEG C be respectively -1.19V and - 1.12V so decomposition voltage is selected as 3V in Molten, but requires to be less than electrolyte lithium chloride and potassium chloride simultaneously Decomposition voltage at 450 DEG C;Current density is selected as 0.8 ~ 1.0A/cm2
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
The invention has the advantages that the useless ITO powder of molten-salt electrolysis is directly used to recycle indium stannum alloy;Electrolysis is increased using liquid cathode Reaction contact area, electrolytic production of metals are directly entered liquid cathode, will not be wrapped in ITO powder surface and hinder reaction;Entire mistake Journey safety and environmental protection, no pernicious gas and harmful waste water generate.
Specific implementation mode
