Description

本発明は、インジウムの回収方法に関し、特に、インジウム含有溶液からインジウムを回収する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for recovering indium, and more particularly to a method for recovering indium from an indium-containing solution.

インジウム（Ｉｎ）は、ＩｎＰやＩｎＡｓなどの金属間化合物からなるＩＩＩ−Ｖ族化合物半導体の原料や、錫をドープした酸化インジウム（ＩＴＯ）からなる透明導電性薄膜の原料として利用されている。特に、ＩＴＯは、液晶ディスプレイ（ＬＣＤ）、タッチパネル、太陽電池、調光ガラスなどの透明電極や、凍結防止膜などに幅広く利用されている。   Indium (In) is used as a raw material for III-V compound semiconductors made of intermetallic compounds such as InP and InAs, and as a raw material for transparent conductive thin films made of indium oxide (ITO) doped with tin. In particular, ITO is widely used for transparent electrodes such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), touch panels, solar cells, and light control glasses, and antifreezing films.

近年、液晶ディスプレイなどのフラットパネルディスプレイの普及に伴って、その電極に用いられる透明導電膜の需要が急速に拡大しており、ＩＴＯの原料であるインジウムの需要が非常に高まっている。   In recent years, with the spread of flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays, the demand for transparent conductive films used for the electrodes is rapidly expanding, and the demand for indium, which is a raw material for ITO, is greatly increased.

しかし、インジウムには主たる鉱石がなく、工業的には、亜鉛製錬において副生する中和石膏に濃縮されたインジウムを回収することによって生産されている。この中和石膏には、インジウムの他に、亜鉛（Ｚｎ）、アルミニウム（Ａｌ）、鉄（Ｆｅ）などの金属不純物が多く含まれており、また、これらの金属不純物以外にも微量に含まれる成分の種類が多い。   However, indium has no main ore and is industrially produced by recovering indium concentrated in neutralized gypsum by-produced in zinc smelting. In addition to indium, this neutralized gypsum contains a large amount of metal impurities such as zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe). There are many types of ingredients.

一般に、亜鉛製錬において副生する中和石膏からインジウムを回収するために、中和石膏を硫酸で浸出してインジウム含有溶液とした後にインジウムを回収している。この浸出は、一般に硫酸濃度を２０〜４０ｇ／Ｌにして行われ、得られたインジウム含有溶液には、２５〜４０ｇ／ＬのＺｎ、１０〜２０ｇ／ＬのＡｌ、５〜１５ｇ／ＬのＦｅが含まれている。   In general, in order to recover indium from neutralized gypsum by-produced in zinc smelting, the neutralized gypsum is leached with sulfuric acid to form an indium-containing solution, and then indium is recovered. This leaching is generally performed at a sulfuric acid concentration of 20 to 40 g / L, and the obtained indium-containing solution contains 25 to 40 g / L Zn, 10 to 20 g / L Al, and 5 to 15 g / L Fe. It is included.

従来、インジウム含有溶液からインジウムを濃縮して回収する方法として、（１）インジウム含有溶液のｐＨを調整することによってインジウムの水酸化物として沈殿させる方法、（２）インジウム含有溶液に硫化剤を添加することによってインジウムの硫化物として沈殿させる方法、（３）インジウム含有溶液に金属Ａｌ、Ｚｎ、Ｃｄ、Ｚｎ−Ｃｄ合金などを添加することによってインジウムを置換析出させる方法、（４）溶媒抽出によってインジウムを回収する方法（例えば、特許文献１参照）、（５）イオン交換法によってインジウムを回収する方法などが知られている。   Conventionally, as a method of concentrating and recovering indium from an indium-containing solution, (1) a method of precipitating as an indium hydroxide by adjusting the pH of the indium-containing solution, (2) adding a sulfiding agent to the indium-containing solution (3) A method of precipitating indium by adding metal Al, Zn, Cd, Zn—Cd alloy or the like to the indium-containing solution, and (4) Indium by solvent extraction. There are known methods for recovering indium (for example, see Patent Document 1), (5) methods for recovering indium by ion exchange, and the like.

特開平８−９１８３８号公報（段落番号００１３−００１８）JP-A-8-91838 (paragraph numbers 0013-0018)

上記（１）の方法は、金属イオンの水酸化物を生成するｐＨ領域の相違を利用する方法であり、例えば、ＺｎおよびＡｌとＩｎとを分離してＩｎを濃縮・回収する方法として、ｐＨを１２以上にすることによって、ＺｎおよびＡｌを溶解し、Ｉｎを水酸化物として沈殿させて回収する方法が知られている。しかし、この方法によって生成したＩｎの水酸化物は、濾過性が極めて悪いため、濾過設備が大きくなり、操作も長時間になるという問題がある。また、この方法では、インジウム含有溶液からＦｅを分離できないという問題もある。さらに、この方法では、インジウム含有溶液がＺｎやＡｌを多量に含む場合には、消費するアルカリ薬剤の量が非常に多くなり、コスト的にも不利である。   The method (1) is a method that utilizes the difference in pH range in which metal ion hydroxide is generated. For example, as a method for concentrating and recovering In by separating Zn and Al from In, A method is known in which Zn and Al are dissolved, and In is precipitated as a hydroxide and recovered by setting the value to 12 or more. However, the hydroxide of In produced by this method has a problem that the filtration facility becomes large and the operation takes a long time because the filterability is extremely poor. This method also has a problem that Fe cannot be separated from the indium-containing solution. Further, in this method, when the indium-containing solution contains a large amount of Zn or Al, the amount of the alkaline agent to be consumed becomes very large, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost.

上記（２）の方法は、金属硫化物の溶解度積の相違を利用する方法であるが、インジウム含有溶液が様々な金属不純物を含む場合には、純度の低い硫化物が大量に発生する。これらの硫化物は一般に濾過性が悪く、また、得られたＩｎを浸出する場合に、硫酸だけでは完全に浸出することができないという問題がある。   The method (2) is a method that utilizes the difference in solubility product of metal sulfides. However, when the indium-containing solution contains various metal impurities, sulfides with low purity are generated in large quantities. These sulfides generally have poor filterability, and there is a problem that when the obtained In is leached, it cannot be completely leached with sulfuric acid alone.

上記（３）の方法は、インジウムより卑な金属をインジウム含有溶液に添加して、置換によってＩｎをスポンジとして回収する方法であるが、Ｚｎ、Ａｌ、Ｆｅなどの卑な元素との分離は容易であるが、Ｉｎ自体が卑であるため、回収率が悪いという問題がある。   The method (3) is a method in which a base metal indium is added to an indium-containing solution, and In is recovered as a sponge by substitution, but separation from base elements such as Zn, Al, and Fe is easy. However, since In itself is obscene, there is a problem that the recovery rate is poor.

上記（４）および（５）の方法では、Ｉｎと分離する不純物によっては、前処理に負担がかかり、また、ランニングコストが高いという問題がある。   In the methods (4) and (5), depending on the impurities separated from In, there is a problem that a pretreatment is burdened and the running cost is high.

したがって、本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑み、インジウム含有溶液からインジウムを高い回収率で効率的且つ安価に回収するインジウムの回収方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, in view of such a conventional problem, an object of the present invention is to provide an indium recovery method for recovering indium efficiently and inexpensively from an indium-containing solution.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究した結果、上記の（３）の方法、すなわち、インジウムより卑な金属をインジウム含有溶液に添加してインジウムを置換析出させる方法において、インジウム含有溶液に微量の銅イオンの存在下において亜鉛末（Ｚｎ末）を添加して置換反応させることにより、インジウム含有溶液の液電位が著しく低下し、液中の残留Ｉｎ濃度が極端に低下して、置換効率が著しく向上することを見出し、特に、インジウム含有溶液中のＺｎ、Ａｌ、Ｆｅなどの濃度が高い場合であっても、インジウム含有溶液からＺｎ、Ａｌ、Ｆｅなどの卑な元素を容易に分離してインジウムを高い回収率で効率的且つ安価に回収することができることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that indium in the method of (3) above, that is, a method in which a metal lower than indium is added to an indium-containing solution to substitute and deposit indium. By adding zinc powder (Zn powder) in the presence of a small amount of copper ions to the contained solution and causing a substitution reaction, the liquid potential of the indium-containing solution is significantly reduced, and the residual In concentration in the liquid is extremely reduced. Finds that the substitution efficiency is remarkably improved, and in particular, even when the concentration of Zn, Al, Fe, etc. in the indium-containing solution is high, it is easy to remove base elements such as Zn, Al, Fe, etc. from the indium-containing solution. It was found that indium can be recovered efficiently and inexpensively with a high recovery rate, and the present invention has been completed.

すなわち、本発明によるインジウムの回収方法は、インジウム含有溶液に銅イオンの存在下で亜鉛末を添加した後に固液分離することを特徴とする。このインジウムの回収方法において、インジウム含有溶液に銅化合物を添加することによってインジウム含有溶液に銅イオンを存在させるのが好ましい。また、インジウム含有溶液のｐＨを１以上に調整するのが好ましく、インジウム含有溶液の温度を６０℃以下に保持するのが好ましく、３０℃以下に保持するのがさらに好ましい。また、インジウム含有溶液がＺｎ、ＡｌおよびＦｅの少なくとも一種を含有してもよい。   That is, the method for recovering indium according to the present invention is characterized by solid-liquid separation after adding zinc powder to an indium-containing solution in the presence of copper ions. In this indium recovery method, it is preferable that copper ions are present in the indium-containing solution by adding a copper compound to the indium-containing solution. The pH of the indium-containing solution is preferably adjusted to 1 or higher, the temperature of the indium-containing solution is preferably maintained at 60 ° C. or lower, and more preferably maintained at 30 ° C. or lower. The indium-containing solution may contain at least one of Zn, Al, and Fe.

本発明によれば、インジウム含有溶液中のＺｎ、Ａｌ、Ｆｅなどの濃度が高い場合であっても、インジウム含有溶液からＺｎ、Ａｌ、Ｆｅなどの卑な元素を容易に分離してインジウムを高い回収率で効率的且つ安価に回収することができる。   According to the present invention, even when the concentration of Zn, Al, Fe, etc. in the indium-containing solution is high, base elements such as Zn, Al, Fe, etc. are easily separated from the indium-containing solution to increase the indium. It can be recovered efficiently and inexpensively with a recovery rate.

本発明によるインジウムの回収方法の実施の形態では、不純物としてＺｎ、ＡｌおよびＦｅの少なくとも一種を含有するインジウム含有溶液のｐＨを１以上に調整し、インジウム含有溶液の温度を６０℃以下、好ましくは３０℃以下に保持して、このインジウム含有溶液に微量の銅化合物を添加して銅イオンを存在させるとともに、亜鉛末（Ｚｎ末）を添加して置換反応させた後に、固液分離することによってインジウムを回収する。このように、インジウム含有溶液に微量の銅イオンの存在下においてＺｎ末を添加して置換反応させることによって、インジウム含有溶液の液電位が著しく低下し、液中の残留Ｉｎ濃度が極端に低下して、置換効率が著しく向上する。   In the embodiment of the method for recovering indium according to the present invention, the pH of the indium-containing solution containing at least one of Zn, Al and Fe as impurities is adjusted to 1 or more, and the temperature of the indium-containing solution is 60 ° C. or lower, preferably By maintaining a temperature below 30 ° C., adding a small amount of copper compound to this indium-containing solution to make copper ions exist, and adding zinc powder (Zn powder) to cause a substitution reaction, followed by solid-liquid separation Indium is recovered. In this way, by adding Zn powder to the indium-containing solution in the presence of a small amount of copper ions to cause a substitution reaction, the liquid potential of the indium-containing solution is remarkably reduced, and the residual In concentration in the liquid is extremely reduced. Thus, the replacement efficiency is remarkably improved.

インジウム含有溶液に添加する銅化合物は、硫酸銅や塩化銅などの易溶性の塩であれば、どのような銅化合物でもよく、すなわち、インジウム含有溶液に溶ければ、どのような銅化合物でもよく、酸化銅でもよい。この銅化合物は、中性から弱酸性下でインジウム含有溶液に溶かしてイオンとする。添加するＣｕの量は、添加するＺｎ末の量が数ｇ／Ｌ程度であれば、インジウム含有溶液中のＣｕの量が１０〜２０ｍｇ／Ｌ程度で液電位の低下が認められ、６０〜８０ｍｇ／Ｌ程度またはそれ以上で液電位が−１０００ｍｖ前後（Ａｇ／ＡｇＣｌ電極基準）に達する。   The copper compound added to the indium-containing solution may be any copper compound as long as it is a readily soluble salt such as copper sulfate or copper chloride, that is, any copper compound as long as it is soluble in the indium-containing solution. Copper oxide may be used. This copper compound is dissolved in an indium-containing solution under neutral to slightly acidic conditions to form ions. As for the amount of Cu to be added, if the amount of Zn powder to be added is about several g / L, a decrease in liquid potential is observed when the amount of Cu in the indium-containing solution is about 10 to 20 mg / L, and 60 to 80 mg. The liquid potential reaches around -1000 mV (Ag / AgCl electrode standard) at about / L or more.

上記の置換反応の際のｐＨは、ｐＨ１以下であると、Ｚｎ末の自然溶解（Ｚｎ＋Ｈ２ＳＯ４＝ＺｎＳＯ４＋Ｈ２）や、置換されたＩｎスポンジの再溶解が進み易くなり、置換効率が悪くなるので、ｐＨ１以上であるのが好ましい。一方、ｐＨの上限は、ＡｌやＺｎが水酸化物として析出するまで高くすることができるが、置換の進行とともにｐＨが上昇する傾向があるので、置換終了の際のｐＨが、上記の水酸化物の析出ｐＨより低いのが好ましい。なお、ｐＨの調整に使用するアルカリ剤としては、ＮａＯＨやＫＯＨを使用するのが好ましい。 When the pH during the above substitution reaction is pH 1 or less, natural dissolution of Zn powder (Zn + H 2 SO 4 = ZnSO 4 + H 2 ) and re-dissolution of the substituted In sponge are facilitated, and the substitution efficiency is improved. Since it worsens, it is preferable that pH is 1 or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the pH can be increased until Al or Zn is precipitated as a hydroxide, but the pH tends to increase with the progress of substitution. It is preferably lower than the precipitation pH of the product. In addition, it is preferable to use NaOH or KOH as the alkaline agent used for adjusting the pH.

また、置換反応の温度が高いとＺｎ末の自然溶解とＩｎスポンジの再溶解が進み易くなるので、反応温度は、低いほどよく、３０℃以下であるのが好ましい。また、置換反応は、反応温度が高いと短時間で終了し、反応温度が低いと終了まで長時間を要するが、この反応は、液電位の低下が定常になった時点で終了したとみなすことができる。また、この反応の際に、空気を巻き込まない程度の強さで攪拌するのが好ましい。   Further, when the temperature of the substitution reaction is high, the natural dissolution of Zn powder and the re-dissolution of In sponge tend to proceed. Therefore, the lower the reaction temperature, the better, and it is preferably 30 ° C. or lower. In addition, the substitution reaction is completed in a short time when the reaction temperature is high, and it takes a long time until the reaction is completed when the reaction temperature is low, but this reaction is considered to be completed when the decrease in liquid potential becomes steady. Can do. In this reaction, it is preferable to stir with a strength that does not involve air.

以下、本発明によるインジウムの回収方法の実施例について詳細に説明する。   Examples of the indium recovery method according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

［実施例１］
インジウム含有溶液として、５５７ｍｇ／ＬのＩｎ、３５．１ｇ／ＬのＺｎ、１２．４ｇ／ＬのＡｌ、６．８ｇ／ＬのＦｅを含む硫酸酸性溶液０．９Ｌを用意し、この溶液にＮａＯＨ溶液を添加してｐＨを２．２に調整し、溶液の温度を５５℃に保持した。この溶液に試薬硫酸銅（Ｃｕとして９０ｍｇ／Ｌ）を添加して溶解させた後、３．５ｇのＺｎ末を添加して反応を開始させた。なお、この反応中、空気を巻き込まない程度の強さで溶液を攪拌した。 [Example 1]
As an indium-containing solution, 0.9 L of a sulfuric acid acidic solution containing 557 mg / L In, 35.1 g / L Zn, 12.4 g / L Al, and 6.8 g / L Fe was prepared. The solution was added to adjust the pH to 2.2 and the solution temperature was maintained at 55 ° C. After adding reagent copper sulfate (90 mg / L as Cu) to this solution and dissolving it, 3.5 g of Zn powder was added to initiate the reaction. During the reaction, the solution was stirred with a strength that does not involve air.

この反応中の液電位（Ａｇ／ＡｇＣｌ電極基準）の推移を図１に示す。図１から、液電位がほぼ定常になった１２分経過時点で反応が終了しているのがわかる。そこで、１２分経過後にＣ濾紙を用いて吸引濾過したところ、濾液中のＩｎ濃度が３５ｍｇ／Ｌであり、インジウムの回収率が９３．７％であった。   The transition of the liquid potential (Ag / AgCl electrode standard) during this reaction is shown in FIG. From FIG. 1, it can be seen that the reaction has been completed when 12 minutes have passed since the liquid potential became substantially steady. Therefore, when suction filtration was performed using C filter paper after 12 minutes had elapsed, the In concentration in the filtrate was 35 mg / L, and the indium recovery rate was 93.7%.

［比較例１］
インジウム含有溶液に硫酸銅を添加しなかった以外は実施例１と同様に反応させた。この反応中の液電位（Ａｇ／ＡｇＣｌ電極基準）の推移を図１に示す。図１から、液電位がほぼ定常になった６０分経過時点で反応が終了しているのがわかる。そこで、６０分経過後にＣ濾紙を用いて吸引濾過したところ、濾液中のＩｎ濃度が８４ｍｇ／Ｌであり、インジウムの回収率が８４．９％であった。 [Comparative Example 1]
The reaction was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that copper sulfate was not added to the indium-containing solution. The transition of the liquid potential (Ag / AgCl electrode standard) during this reaction is shown in FIG. From FIG. 1, it can be seen that the reaction is completed when 60 minutes have elapsed since the liquid potential has become substantially steady. Then, when 60 minutes passed, it filtered by suction using C filter paper, In concentration in a filtrate was 84 mg / L, and the recovery rate of indium was 84.9%.

［実施例２］
溶液の温度を２７℃に保持した以外は実施例１と同様に反応させた。この反応中の液電位（Ａｇ／ＡｇＣｌ電極基準）の推移を図２に示す。図２から、液電位がほぼ定常になった３５分経過時点で反応が終了しているのがわかる。そこで、３５分経過後にＣ濾紙を用いて吸引濾過したところ、濾液中のＩｎ濃度が４ｍｇ／Ｌであり、インジウムの回収率が９９．３％であった。 [Example 2]
The reaction was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the temperature of the solution was maintained at 27 ° C. The transition of the liquid potential (Ag / AgCl electrode reference) during this reaction is shown in FIG. From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the reaction is completed at the point of 35 minutes when the liquid potential becomes almost steady. Then, when suction filtration was performed using C filter paper after 35 minutes had elapsed, the In concentration in the filtrate was 4 mg / L, and the indium recovery rate was 99.3%.

［比較例２］
インジウム含有溶液に硫酸銅を添加しなかった以外は実施例２と同様に反応させた。この反応中の液電位（Ａｇ／ＡｇＣｌ電極基準）の推移を図２に示す。図２から、液電位が漸次低下傾向を示し、定常電位になっていないのがわかる。この結果から、インジウム含有溶液中に銅イオンを存在させない場合には、溶液の温度が低いと反応速度が著しく低下して、実操業的には適用不可能であると判断される。そこで、１２０分経過後にＣ濾紙を用いて吸引濾過したところ、濾液中のＩｎ濃度が１３９ｍｇ／Ｌであり、インジウムの回収率が７５．０％であった。 [Comparative Example 2]
The reaction was performed in the same manner as in Example 2 except that copper sulfate was not added to the indium-containing solution. The transition of the liquid potential (Ag / AgCl electrode reference) during this reaction is shown in FIG. From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the liquid potential shows a gradually decreasing tendency and does not become a steady potential. From this result, in the case where copper ions are not present in the indium-containing solution, it is judged that the reaction rate is remarkably lowered when the temperature of the solution is low, and it is not practically applicable. Therefore, when suction filtration was performed using C filter paper after 120 minutes had elapsed, the In concentration in the filtrate was 139 mg / L, and the indium recovery rate was 75.0%.
