Description

Method for recovering ITO powder from ITO residual target/waste target
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric material recycling, in particular to a method for recycling ITO powder from an ITO residual target/waste target.
Background
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films prepared from indium tin oxide as a raw material have the advantages of transparency to visible light, conductivity, high hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and are widely applied to industry in recent years. However, the utilization rate of the sputtering target is usually low, the utilization rate of the planar target is only about 30%, the utilization rate of the rotary target is high, but the utilization rate is only about 70%, because the raw material of the ITO target is mainly indium oxide, indium is a rare metal, the price is high, and the indium resource is a scarce resource, the recycling of the ITO target is particularly important.
At present, the recovery of the ITO waste target is roughly divided into two categories, one is wet recovery, the rough process flow of the method is to dissolve the ITO waste target by strong acid, and then high-purity indium, tin simple substance or indium-tin alloy is extracted through steps of electrolysis, hydrolysis precipitation, alkaline separation, replacement and the like, the method has the advantages of complex process, longer period, higher cost and serious energy resource consumption, and ITO powder cannot be directly obtained; the other method is to directly prepare the ITO waste target into ITO powder, and the method is a relatively energy-saving recovery method because the process of preparing indium powder into ITO powder is omitted. For example, in chinese patent CN104843771A, an ITO waste target is directly placed in a plasma reaction chamber, and the waste target is directly heated into ITO gas by high-temperature plasma, and then cooled into ITO powder; chinese patent CN105366709A, the ITO waste target is heated by electric arc generated by electrode discharge to form ITO gas, and then the gas is rapidly condensed into ITO powder; the two preparation methods are characterized in that waste targets are atomized and then solidified into ITO powder, the ITO powder can be directly used for preparing ITO targets, but the ITO waste targets belong to ceramic materials, and huge energy is needed for gasifying the waste targets, so that the two methods still have serious energy consumption, high production cost and expensive equipment.
