Abstract

PURPOSE:To selectively remove metallic impurities by dissolution while forming neither waste liquor containing harmful compound nor gaseous harmful matter, by treating a gallium-bearing material containing metallic impurities with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid of respectively specified concentrations. CONSTITUTION:A gallium-bearing material containing metallic impurities, such as Fe, Al, Ca, Mg and In, to be supplied to vacuum thermal decomposition treatment is treated with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid of 0.1-10N, preferably about 0.5-5N, or mixed acid of the above. It is desirable that the material to be treated is pulverized or oil is removed in the case of oily material, and then, the above treatment is carried out at about -10-150 deg.C. By this method, the above-mentioned metallic impurities can be removed by dissolution without causing environmentally harmful matter. The above method can be effectively applied to the residue produced after the gallium-containing material is thermally decomposed and the resulting metallic gallium is removed by separation, and further, this method is particularly suitable for treating a gallium-bearing material containing In difficult to be separated from Ga so as to selectively remove In by dissolution.
