Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing high purity indium oxide from indium scrap,

The present invention relates to a method for producing high purity indium oxide from indium scrap, and more particularly to a method for producing high purity indium oxide from indium scrap. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing high purity indium oxide from indium scrap, And a high purity indium oxide produced by the method.

As the information and communication industry develops, there is a growing demand for the development of new electronic materials. As the electronic devices become smaller and thinner, the metal oxide processing technology and the thin film manufacturing technology are secured. It became a problem.

On the other hand, indium is used for intermetallic compounds such as InP and InAs, which are III-V compound semiconductors, or indium oxide (ITO) doped with tin, which is a material for solar cells, and transparent conductive thin films. .

Originally, indium has no major ore and is industrially produced by the by-product of zinc smelting and lead smelting, for example, by recovering concentrated indium in soot. Therefore, the raw material for the indium recovery contains a large amount of metal impurities such as Zn, Fe, Cu, Al, Ga, As, and Cd, and many other kinds of components are contained in trace amounts in addition to these metal components.

Therefore, complicated processes are required to recover indium of high purity by removing these metal impurities. In general, in the above-mentioned indium recovery process, a method of precipitating as a hydroxide by adjusting the pH, A precipitation method, a method of substitution deposition by addition of metal Al, Zn, Cd, or a Zn-Cd alloy, a method of recovering indium by solvent extraction, and a method of recovering indium by ion exchange And is combined with a smelting method.

However, the method of precipitating as hydroxide by pH adjustment in the recovery process is based on the difference in the pH range of the hydroxide formation pH of the metal ion. For example, when the pH is set to 12 or more as a separation method of Zn, Al and In, Zn and Al are dissolved Thereby precipitating In as hydroxide and recovering it. However, in this method, since the produced hydroxide of In is very poor in filtration property, the filtration equipment becomes large and the operation becomes long. Further, in this method, it is difficult to separate impurities such as Fe, Cu, As, Cd, and In from In.

The method of precipitating sulfides by adding the sulfiding agent is based on the difference in solubility of the metal sulfides, but a large amount of sulfides having a low purity is generated because it contains various metal impurities as described above. These sulfides generally have poor filtration properties, and when the obtained In sulfide is leached, In can not be completely leached out with sulfuric acid alone, which is a drawback that this method is difficult to apply to a wet zinc process.

In addition, the method of substitution deposition by adding the metal Al, Zn, Cd, Zn-Cd alloy or the like has a problem that it is impossible to separate In from the metal if it contains impurities that are more valuable than indium.

In addition, the method of recovering indium by the solvent extraction or the method of recovering indium by the ion exchange method is burdensome for the pretreatment depending on the impurities which are separated from In, and there is also a problem that the operation cost is high.

In any chemical purification method described above, separation of impurity metals is insufficient. Therefore, the electrolytic smelting method combined with the electrolytic smelting method can also be easily carried out by a simple electrolytic extraction method (electrolysis using an insoluble anode by leaching a target metal in an aqueous solution, A metal is obtained), and a complicated electrolytic refining method (refining the electrolytic solution of a coarse metal as a positive electrode and a high-purity metal as a negative electrode) can not be employed.

Therefore, any of the above methods has drawbacks, and the combination of the above methods is used for the actual number of times. In order to recover high-purity In, the process becomes complicated and cumbersome.

In addition, the conventional indium refining technology has a disadvantage in that a large amount of waste acid is generated to cause environmental pollution, and the process is complicated and expensive. In order to overcome this problem, the solvent extraction method is used to recover high purity indium metal (99.995%). However, the cost of the solvent extraction agent is high, the initial investment and operation cost are high, and environmental pollution problems may occur. Further, in order to convert metal indium to indium oxide, various processes such as acid dissolution, hydroxide formation, washing, filtration, drying and calcination are required, which is disadvantageous in that it is expensive.
