Description

Production device and production method for preparing 5N high-purity tellurium from 2N crude tellurium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of tellurium purification, and particularly relates to a device and a method for purifying crude tellurium.
Background
Tellurium belongs to semi-metal, has obvious metal property, and is widely applied in the fields of national defense, military industry, aerospace, semiconductors, electronic communication and the like, for example: cdTe is one of important solar cell materials, hgCdTe, znCdTe, pbSnTe is an important material for researching infrared detection, and BiTe and PbTe are good refrigeration function materials. Trace impurities in tellurium can directly influence the material performance, for example, the impurities can cause point defects of CdTe materials, so that the heat treatment process of the CdTe materials is influenced, the forbidden band width of the CdTe is reduced, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of an absorption layer is reduced. Thus, tellurium purification is of great significance.
Crude tellurium purification techniques include chemical and physical methods. The chemical purification includes precipitation, aqueous solution reduction, electrolysis, extraction, etc. For example, chinese patent CN106276820a discloses a method for preparing high-purity tellurium from crude tellurium powder, which comprises the steps of heating and rinsing crude tellurium powder, pressurizing and oxidizing alkaline leaching of washing slag, neutralizing and precipitating the alkaline leaching liquid with dilute sulfuric acid to obtain precipitate slag; leaching the oxidized alkaline leaching slag by dilute sulfuric acid, and carrying out neutralization and oxalic acid reduction treatment on the pickling liquid to obtain precipitation slag; and (3) performing alkaline leaching liquid making on the precipitation slag obtained in the last two steps, and performing electrolytic refining to obtain high-purity tellurium. The chemical purification method needs to perform wet pretreatment on raw materials, and has the advantages of long flow, complex operation, large reagent consumption, large pollution risk in the operation process and lower current efficiency in electrolysis.
Compared with a chemical method, the physical method purification of crude tellurium can avoid a large amount of reagent consumption, reduce pollution risk and shorten the operation flow to a certain extent. Physical purification of crude tellurium comprises vacuum distillation, zone melting, direct-pulling purification, solid-state electromigration and the like. Tellurium belongs to low-melting-point high-saturation vapor pressure metal, and most impurities in tellurium can be effectively separated by vacuum distillation to obtain distilled tellurium with higher purity, so that the vacuum distillation technology is widely applied. In the prior art for preparing high-purity metal by vacuum distillation, 4N metal is mostly used as a raw material, and 5N-6N high-purity metal is prepared by multiple times of distillation. For example, chinese patent No. CN107313063A discloses a 5N high-purity tellurium smelting method, which comprises the steps of preparing 4N tellurium by a low-current density electro-deposition method, and carrying out low-temperature vacuum distillation on a 4N tellurium ingot to obtain distilled tellurium; and finally, crushing the distilled tellurium into small particles, and heating and casting the ingot under the action of hydrogen flow to obtain the 5N high-purity tellurium. The Chinese patent No. 107585745A discloses a 5N tellurium production process, which is characterized in that the content of partial impurities in the raw materials is obviously reduced through screening or pretreatment, the content of impurities which are difficult to separate in the raw materials is obviously reduced, and then vacuum distillation, hydrogenation selenium reduction and intermediate frequency ingot casting are carried out to obtain 5N high-purity tellurium. By adopting the technical scheme of vacuum distillation, the raw materials need to be pretreated, namely 4N tellurium meeting various indexes needs to be obtained, the production period is still longer, the process flow is complicated, and certain reagent consumption exists.

As a general technical concept, the present invention also provides a method for preparing 5N high purity tellurium from 2N crude tellurium using the above production device, comprising the steps of:
(1) Placing 2N crude tellurium powder into the distillation section, sealing the distillation-condensation system, evacuating, setting the set temperature of the distillation temperature control device to be 530-560 ℃, setting the set temperature of the condensation temperature control device at the first condensation section to be 430-460 ℃ for one-step vacuum distillation, and sampling from the second condensation section after the one-step vacuum distillation is finished to obtain a one-step vacuum distillation product;

(3) And (3) placing the two-step vacuum distillation product obtained in the step into the distillation section, sealing the distillation-condensation system, evacuating, setting the set temperature of the distillation temperature control device to be 570-600 ℃, setting the set temperature of the condensation temperature control device at the first-stage condensation section to be 420-450 ℃ for three-step vacuum distillation, and sampling from the second-stage condensation section after the three-step vacuum distillation is finished to obtain the 5N high-purity tellurium.
In the above production method, preferably, the set temperature of the distillation temperature control device is 10-30 ℃ lower than the set temperature of the distillation temperature control device in the one-step vacuum distillation.
In the above production method, preferably, the distillation time of the one-step vacuum distillation and the two-step vacuum distillation is controlled to be 4 to 6 hours; the distillation time of the three-step vacuum distillation is controlled to be 1-3h. In the invention, the distillation temperature of the one-step vacuum distillation and the two-step vacuum distillation is lower, the sample volatilization rate is slower, and the separation of low-volatility impurities and main metals and the segregation efficiency of high-volatility impurities and main metals are facilitated, so that the distillation time is relatively longer. The three-step vacuum distillation has higher distillation temperature and high volatilization rate, so the distillation time is relatively short.
In the above production method, preferably, the one-step vacuum distillation, the two-step vacuum distillation and the three-step vacuum distillation are performed with a vacuum degree of 0.01Pa or less.
In the above production method, preferably, at the end of the one-step vacuum distillation, the two-step vacuum distillation and the three-step vacuum distillation, inert gas is filled into the distillation-condensation system to normal pressure through the vacuum degree control system, wherein the inert gas is N2 or Ar, and the purity is 5N.
According to the invention, 2N tellurium powder is used as a raw material, impurities in the raw material are separated into high-volatility impurities and medium-volatility and low-volatility impurities through calculation and analysis, the raw material is subjected to fractional temperature control distillation and fractional condensation, the impurities are removed in a sectional manner, the purity of a distilled product reaches 5N, and the impurities reach below a standard value. The specific principle of the invention is as follows:
impurities were classified by calculating the saturated vapor pressure of the impurities at each temperature as shown in table 1 below:
table 1: saturated vapor pressure of each element at each temperature
Figure BDA0004067997900000031
Figure BDA0004067997900000041
Impurities are classified into high-volatility impurities such as S, K, as, se, na, etc., medium-and low-volatility impurities such as Ca, mn, al, fe, cu, etc. Wherein, the saturated vapor pressure of Se, na, mg and other impurities is relatively close to that of tellurium, and the Se, na, mg and other impurities are difficult to remove by a conventional vacuum distillation method. The invention adopts the technology of step-by-step impurity removal, multi-stage temperature control and multi-stage condensation to realize the accurate impurity removal.
The vapor pressure of the impurities is related to the content of the impurities in tellurium, and the crude tellurium powder contains Ca, mn, al, fe, cu and other low-volatility impurities with higher content, and the vapor pressure of the low-volatility impurities at lower temperature is greatly different from that of tellurium, so that the first step adopts vacuum distillation at lower temperature, thereby ensuring that the tellurium and the high-volatility impurities volatilize in a large quantity, and the low-volatility impurities basically do not volatilize and remain in distilled slag, so that primary separation of main metal tellurium and the impurities is realized. And in the second step, vacuum distillation at a lower temperature is adopted, so that the distillation rate is further reduced, and the separation efficiency of low-volatility impurities and tellurium and the segregation efficiency of high-volatility impurities and tellurium are improved. And the third step adopts high-temperature vacuum distillation to improve the distillation rate and further reduce the impurity content. The impurities are removed step by vacuum distillation step by step, and the impurity removal is efficient.
On the basis of step vacuum distillation, multi-stage temperature control is performed to finely control the volatilization rate of metal and the segregation efficiency of impurities and main metal. Two sections of temperature control are adopted, one section of temperature control is used for controlling the condensing section, and the two sections of temperature control maintain the raw materials in a molten state, so that tellurium is continuously volatilized at a stable volatilization rate; the first-stage temperature control and the second-stage temperature control are coupled to maintain the balance of the system. And when the temperature is controlled in the first stage, the temperatures of the first-stage condensation section, the second-stage condensation section and the third-stage condensation section are controlled, the condensation rate of impurities and main metal tellurium is reduced, and the impurities and the main metal tellurium are fully separated, so that the segregation effect of the impurities is improved. Specifically, the first heating device covers the whole first-stage condensation section and 1/3 of the lower part of the second-stage condensation section. The second heat preservation device covers the middle upper part of the second-stage condensation section, prevents excessive temperature loss and saves energy. And a third cooling device is adopted on the three-stage condensation section, the temperature is controlled by utilizing circulating cooling water in a coordinated manner, so that the temperature is reduced rapidly, the residual volatile matters are fully condensed, and when the temperature is controlled, the cooling water temperature is controlled to be 20-25 ℃ and the flow is controlled to be 1.0-1.6L/s.
Based on two-stage temperature control, volatile matters are controlled to be subjected to fractional condensation. The condensation is divided into three stages, and the first stage condensation mainly condenses a small amount of volatile low-volatility impurities. The first perforated baffle plate can adopt a porous graphite baffle plate, so that volatilized tellurium and impurities are uniformly dispersed, and the segregation efficiency of tellurium and impurities is improved. The second perforated baffle can adopt a macroporous graphite ring baffle, so that most volatile substances can smoothly pass through the round holes, and volatile low-volatility impurities are retained at the same time, so that the separation of high-purity tellurium products and low-volatility impurities is realized. The second-stage condensation is a main condensation section, and because of the residual temperature of one section of heating, the high-volatility impurities in the section are basically not condensed, and the metal tellurium is largely condensed, so that the separation of the high-purity tellurium product and the high-volatility impurities is realized. The third perforated baffle plate can adopt a small-hole graphite ring baffle plate, so that volatilized tellurium is fully condensed at the second stage, the loss rate of tellurium is reduced, and meanwhile, high-volatility impurities are enriched at the third stage condensation position. The segregation principle is shown in figure 4.
The first-stage condensation product and the third-stage condensation product can be respectively collected, and the first-stage condensation product can be further subjected to low-temperature vacuum distillation treatment due to the high content of low-volatility impurities; the three-stage condensation product has high content of volatile impurities and can be further processed by high-temperature vacuum distillation. The second-stage condensation product is purified high-purity tellurium. The first-stage condensation product can be singly collected for low-temperature distillation, the third-stage condensation product can be singly collected for high-temperature distillation, the utilization rate of raw materials is high, the recovery rate is high, and the product purity is high.
In the invention, the same distillation-condensation system can be adopted in the one-step vacuum distillation, the two-step vacuum distillation and the three-step vacuum distillation, and only a cleaning procedure is needed before each step of vacuum distillation. Of course, multiple distillation-condensation systems may be employed. Taking the same distillation-condensation system as an example, the specific operation and parameters of the present invention can be as follows:
(1) First step, low temperature vacuum distillation: 1) Sample loading: 1.0-3.0kg of 2N crude tellurium powder is put into a graphite crucible, the crucible is put into a distillation section, and a distillation-condensation system is sealed; 2) Vacuumizing: pumping the vacuum degree of the system to below 0.01Pa, and maintaining for 8-12h; 3) Heating: setting the set temperature of the distillation temperature control device to be 530-560 ℃, setting the set temperature of the first heating device to be 430-460 ℃, controlling the distillation heat preservation time to be 4-6h, and maintaining the vacuum degree of the system to be below 0.01Pa in the distillation process; 4) Sampling: and (3) after the distillation-condensation system is cooled to room temperature, filling inert gas to normal pressure, sampling, and cleaning the graphite crucible and the distillation-condensation system.
