Detailed Description
In order to enable the technical scheme of the invention to be better understood by those skilled in the art, the method for removing impurities from slag-included impurity-contained monocrystalline germanium waste provided by the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the method for removing impurities from single crystal germanium scraps with impurities in slag comprises the following steps:
(1) Melting single crystal germanium growth waste: the single crystal germanium grows and repeatedly uses pot bottom materials, partial crystal bar broken ends and tails, partial numerical control milling machine nesting remainder and the like, the waste materials are placed in a high-purity graphite crucible, and a furnace cover of a crystal growth furnace is closed to form a closed cavity; vacuumizing the cavity to a certain vacuum degree by using a mechanical vacuum pump, wherein the vacuum degree is 5-100 torr, and continuously starting the vacuum pump to keep the vacuum degree constant; the high purity graphite crucible is slowly heated to slowly raise the temperature in the chamber, gradually melt the waste material, raise the temperature of the waste material to 937.4 ℃ higher than that required by melting germanium metal, optionally raise the temperature to 937.4 ℃ to 1200 ℃, and maintain the constant temperature for a period of time.
(2) Cooling and recrystallizing waste slag inclusion: after the scrap melts and is held at a constant temperature for a period of time, the germanium metal is completely melted to a molten state, and a part of the non-melted oxide is wrapped in the molten state germanium metal, and a majority of the oxide floats on the surface of the germanium melt. At the moment, the temperature of the melt is required to be reduced, the heating power is adjusted to reduce the temperature by 15-50 ℃, and part of oxide in the cooled melt is recrystallized together with germanium metal; lowering the seed rod towards the melt direction to contact with the recrystallized substance for a period of time, welding for 3-5 min, exchanging heat at the contact part, and transferring the crystallization latent heat of the molten germanium on the surface of the hotter recrystallized substance through the seed rod to firmly adhere to the seed rod; pulling up the seed rod, pulling up the recrystallized material together with the germanium melt, pulling up the recrystallized material to the secondary chamber of the crystal growth furnace, and cutting off the recrystallized material in the secondary chamber; filling nitrogen into the secondary chamber for growing crystal until the pressure in the secondary chamber is equal to the atmospheric pressure, cooling the recrystallized substance for a period of time, and taking out; the recrystallized material slag is taken out to contain more impurities and is sent to a zone melting and purifying process.
