Description

本発明は、ガリウムの回収方法に関するものであり、特に銅とガリウムを含む溶液から銅とガリウムを分離させて、ガリウムを回収する方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for recovering gallium, and more particularly to a method for recovering gallium by separating copper and gallium from a solution containing copper and gallium.

薄型CIGS太陽電池は、高い光電変換率を有するため、開発にあたって重要視されている。コストの削減や環境保護のため、薄型CIGS太陽電池の製造方法中、真空スパッタリング法や、気相成長法や、非真空塗布などの工程において、銅、インジウム、ガリウム、セレンを回収して精錬するプロセスを必要とする。このため、廃(材)液からガリウムを分離して回収する技術が求められている。 Thin CIGS solar cells have a high photoelectric conversion rate and are therefore regarded as important in development. In order to reduce costs and protect the environment, copper, indium, gallium, and selenium are recovered and refined in processes such as vacuum sputtering, vapor phase growth, and non-vacuum coating during thin CIGS solar cell manufacturing methods. Requires a process. For this reason, a technique for separating and recovering gallium from waste (material) liquid is required.

Rafaeloff氏(外数名)(Anal. Chem. Vol. 43 No.2 p272-274, 1971)によって、[2Mの塩酸、1Mの塩化アンモニウム、1Mの硫酸、及び1Mの硫酸アンモニウム/メチルエチルケトン]によって抽出を行い、その後、水によって逆抽出を行うガリウムの回収方法が開示されている。これによって他の金属イオン例えば銅(約0.1%の抽出量)やゲルマニウム(0.01%以下の抽出量)から分離して99%ガリウムが回収される。しかし、ヒ素やインジウムに対し、抽出量がそれぞれ36%と93.6%になり、この方法によって完全にガリウムとインジウム及びヒ素を分離させることができない。また、メチルエチルケトンの抽出剤は、沸騰点が低くて爆発し易く、しかも揮発性があるので常時補充する必要があって、コストが高くなる。 Extraction by [2M hydrochloric acid, 1M ammonium chloride, 1M sulfuric acid, and 1M ammonium sulfate / methyl ethyl ketone] by Rafaeloff (a few others) (Anal. Chem. Vol. 43 No.2 p272-274, 1971) A method for recovering gallium is disclosed that is performed and then back-extracted with water. As a result, 99% gallium is recovered by separation from other metal ions such as copper (extracted amount of about 0.1%) and germanium (extracted amount of 0.01% or less). However, the extraction amounts are 36% and 93.6% with respect to arsenic and indium, respectively, and gallium, indium and arsenic cannot be completely separated by this method. In addition, the extractant for methyl ethyl ketone has a low boiling point, easily explodes, and is volatile, so it needs to be replenished at all times, increasing the cost.

Nishihama氏(外数名)によって、混合−分離を連続して逆抽出を行うガリウムの回収方法(Syouhei Nishihama, “Separation and Recovery of Gallium and Indium from Simulated Zinc Refinery by Liquid-Liquid Extraction”Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 1999, 38, 1032-1039) が開示されている。この方法は、抽出剤(油相のD2EHPA)を直接に処理液(廃液)に混合して、更に6Mの塩酸を逆抽出液として混合して行われる。しかし、この方法は、乳化現象が起こりやすいので、回収率が低く、抽出液の消耗が増えてしまう。 By Nishihama (several names), a method for recovering gallium by continuous back-extraction by mixing-separation (Syouhei Nishihama, “Separation and Recovery of Gallium and Indium from Simulated Zinc Refinery by Liquid-Liquid Extraction” Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 1999, 38, 1032-1039). In this method, an extractant (oil phase D2EHPA) is directly mixed with a treatment liquid (waste liquid), and 6M hydrochloric acid is further mixed as a back extract. However, since this method tends to cause an emulsification phenomenon, the recovery rate is low and consumption of the extract increases.

前記従来の回収方法において、抽出と逆抽出の工程は、少なくとも二つのステップが必要であるが、液膜を用いた場合、二つのステップを一つにすることができる。一つのステップに整合する液膜よって、標的物を分離して除去、回収能率を最大限にすることができる。(W.S. Winston Ho and Kamalesh K. Sirkar, eds., Membrane Handbook, Chapman & Hall, New York, 1992)。 In the conventional recovery method, the extraction and back-extraction steps require at least two steps, but when a liquid film is used, the two steps can be combined into one. A liquid membrane that conforms to one step can separate and remove the target, maximizing recovery efficiency. (W.S. Winston Ho and Kamalesh K. Sirkar, eds., Membrane Handbook, Chapman & Hall, New York, 1992).

また、液膜は(1)支持液膜(supported liquid membranes;SLMs)と、(2)乳化液膜(emulsion liquid membranes;ELMs)の2種類に分けることができる。支持液膜の基本原理として、細孔を有する基材(例えば、細孔を有する中空ポリプロピレン繊維)に有機溶液を入れて、有機溶液と細孔の表面を接触させるときに、基材の孔を濡らして支持液膜が形成される。(W. S. Winston Ho and Kamalesh K. Sirkar, eds., Membrane Handbook, Chapman & Hall, New York, 1992)。 The liquid membrane can be divided into two types: (1) supported liquid membranes (SLMs) and (2) emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs). As a basic principle of the supporting liquid membrane, when an organic solution is put into a substrate having pores (for example, hollow polypropylene fiber having pores) and the organic solution is brought into contact with the surface of the pores, the pores of the substrate are formed. A supporting liquid film is formed by wetting. (W. S. Winston Ho and Kamalesh K. Sirkar, eds., Membrane Handbook, Chapman & Hall, New York, 1992).

近時、学界や業界において、標的物を含む水溶液中の銅や、亜鉛、カドミウム、パラジウムなどの金属や、物理放射性種や、ランタノイド金属元素を除去するために支持液膜が用いられる。 Recently, supporting liquid membranes are used in academia and industry to remove metals such as copper, zinc, cadmium, and palladium, physical radioactive species, and lanthanoid metal elements in an aqueous solution containing a target.

また、崔春花氏(外数名)によって、中空繊維の支持液膜処理技術により銅を含む廃液を処理する技術が開示されている。(崔春花、任鐘旗、張衛東、楊彦強、▲ホウ▼子蘇、“Treatment of wastewater containing copper(II) Using hollow fiber support liquid membrane technique”(中空繊維の支持液膜処理技術により銅を含む廃液を処理する技術)高校化学工程公報,2008,22(4))。この方法は、中空繊維モジュールを少なくとも48時間[10%のD2EHPA/ケロシン]に浸漬することによって、中空繊維モジュールに細孔を形成させて、硫酸銅溶液(ph4.44)を工業廃液に模擬して処理液とし、6Mの塩酸を逆抽出液とする。 Moreover, a technique for treating a waste liquid containing copper by a support liquid membrane treatment technique for hollow fibers is disclosed by Mr. Haruka Hana (several names). (Hunchun, Zhangqi, Zhang Hedong, Tatsuhiko Tsuyoshi, Hou Kosou, “Treatment of wastewater containing copper (II) Using hollow fiber support liquid membrane technique” Processing technology) High School Chemical Process Bulletin, 2008, 22 (4)). In this method, by immersing the hollow fiber module in [10% D2EHPA / kerosene] for at least 48 hours, pores are formed in the hollow fiber module to simulate a copper sulfate solution (ph 4.44) into industrial waste liquid. And 6M hydrochloric acid as the back extract.

しかし、処理液と分散溶液中には、液膜の組成成分(有機溶液、抽出液、及び修飾液)が含まれないのて、浸透圧に差異が生じるため、前記従来の支持液膜は、液膜の組成や浸透圧の関係で安定性が悪い、という欠点がある。(A. J. B. Kemperman, D. Bargeman, Th. Van Den Boomgaard, H. Strathmann, “Stability of Supported Liquid Membranes: State of the Art”, Sep. Sci. Technol., 31, 2733 (1996); T. M. Dreher and G. W Stevens, “Instability Mechanisms of Supported Liquid Membranes”, Sep. Sci. Technol., 33, 835-853 (1998); J. F. Dozol, J. Casas, and A. Sastre, “Stability of Flat Sheet Supported Liquid Membranes in the Transport of Radionuclides from Reprocessing Concentrate Solutions”, J. Membrane Sci., 82, 237-246 (1993))。 However, since the treatment liquid and the dispersion solution do not contain the composition components of the liquid film (organic solution, extraction liquid, and modification liquid), a difference occurs in the osmotic pressure. There is a drawback that the stability is poor due to the composition of the liquid film and the osmotic pressure. (AJB Kemperman, D. Bargeman, Th. Van Den Boomgaard, H. Strathmann, “Stability of Supported Liquid Membranes: State of the Art”, Sep. Sci. Technol., 31, 2733 (1996); TM Dreher and G. W Stevens, “Instability Mechanisms of Supported Liquid Membranes”, Sep. Sci. Technol., 33, 835-853 (1998); JF Dozol, J. Casas, and A. Sastre, “Stability of Flat Sheet Supported Liquid Membranes in the Transport of Radionuclides from Reprocessing Concentrate Solutions ”, J. Membrane Sci., 82, 237-246 (1993)).

また、何氏(外数名)によって、標的物を含む溶液から、金属や、物理放射性種、ペニシリン、有機酸などを除去して回収する安定性の高い支持液膜が開示されており、例えば、これによって、支持液膜と分散工程が結合されて、クロム(W.S. Winston Ho, “Supported Liquid Membrane Process for Chromium Removal and Recovery”, U. S. Patent 6,171,563 (2001))、金属(W.S. Winston Ho, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Radionuclides and Metals”, U. S.

Winston Ho, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Penicillin and Organic Acids”, U. S. Patent 6,433,163 (2002))を除去することが開示されている。また、分散プロセスにおける支持液膜に応用されるジアルキルモノチオリン酸(dialkyl monothiophosphoric acid extractants)の抽出剤によって金属を除去する技術が開示されている (W.S. Winston Ho and Bing Wang, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Metals: Dialkyl Monothiophosphoric Acids and Their Use as Extractants”, U. S. Patent 6,291,705 (2001))。 Also, Mr. (several names) discloses a highly stable support liquid membrane that removes and recovers metals, physical radioactive species, penicillin, organic acids, etc. from a solution containing a target, for example, As a result, the supporting liquid membrane and the dispersion process are combined, and chromium (WS Winston Ho, “Supported Liquid Membrane Process for Chromium Removal and Recovery”, US Patent 6,171,563 (2001)), metal (WS Winston Ho, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Radionuclides and Metals ”, US Patent 6,328,782 (2001); WS Winston Ho,“ Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Metals ”, US Patent 6,350,419 ( 2002)), Physical Radioactive Species (WS Winston Ho, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Radionuclides and Metals”, US Patent 6,328,782 (2001); WS Winston Ho, “Comb ined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Radionuclides ”, US Patent 6,696,589 (2004)), penicillin and organic acids (WS Winston Ho,“ Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Penicillin and Organic Acids ", US Patent 6,433,163 (2002)) is disclosed. In addition, a technique for removing metals by using an extractant of dialkyl monothiophosphoric acid extractants applied to a supporting liquid membrane in a dispersion process is disclosed (WS Winston Ho and Bing Wang, “Combined Supported Liquid Membrane / Strip Dispersion Process for the Removal and Recovery of Metals: Dialkyl Monothiophosphoric Acids and Their Use as Extractants ”, US Patent 6,291,705 (2001)).

しかし、前記先行技術においては、支持液膜と分散逆抽出プロセスを結合して、銅とガリウムを含む廃液からガリウムを分離して回収する技術が開示されていない。 However, the prior art does not disclose a technique for separating and recovering gallium from a waste liquid containing copper and gallium by combining a supporting liquid membrane and a dispersion back extraction process.

このため、工業生産工程などに発生する廃液(材)から安定性が高く且つ効率が高いガリウムを除去して回収する方法が求められている。 For this reason, there is a demand for a method for removing and recovering gallium having high stability and high efficiency from waste liquid (material) generated in industrial production processes and the like.

前記課題を解決するために、本発明は、銅とガリウムを含む処理液からガリウムを回収する方法であって、少なくとも細孔支持材に設けられる液膜を提供するステップと、抽出液を含む有機溶液に分散される水相逆抽出液を含む分散逆抽出液を提供するステップと、前記銅とガリウムを含む処理液のPH値を3.5より大きくならないように調節し、または初期濃度が10Nまたはそれより大きい酸を含むように濃縮酸を前記処理液に添加して、調節するステップと、前記銅とガリウムを含む処理液を前記細孔支持材に設けられる液膜の一方で処理し、前記細孔支持材に設けられる液膜の他方で前記分散逆抽出液を用いることによって、選択的に前記銅とガリウムを含む処理液中のガリウムを除去するステップと、一部または全部の前記分散逆抽出液を有機相と前記水相逆抽出液に分離させるステップと、を含み、分離された前記水相逆抽出液に濃縮されたガリウム溶液が含まれるガリウムの回収方法を提供する。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method for recovering gallium from a treatment liquid containing copper and gallium, the step of providing a liquid film provided on at least a pore support material, and an organic containing an extraction liquid Providing a dispersed back extract containing an aqueous back extract dispersed in the solution and adjusting the PH value of the treatment solution containing copper and gallium so as not to exceed 3.5, or an initial concentration of 10N Or a step of adding and adjusting a concentrated acid to the treatment liquid so as to contain an acid larger than that, and treating the treatment liquid containing copper and gallium with one of the liquid films provided on the pore support material; Selectively removing gallium in the treatment liquid containing copper and gallium by using the dispersion back-extracted liquid on the other liquid film provided on the pore support material, and part or all of the dispersion Wherein the step of separating the extract into the aqueous phase back extracted liquid with the organic phase, and to provide a method of recovering gallium contained gallium solution concentrated to separated the aqueous phase back-extracted solution.

発明を実施するための好適な形態Preferred embodiments for carrying out the invention

本発明は、支持液膜を用いて、分散逆抽出プロセスと結合し、銅とガリウムを含む処理液からガリウムを除去して回収する方法を開示している。処理液として、工業生産工程などに発生する廃液(材)であっても良い。 The present invention discloses a method of removing and recovering gallium from a treatment liquid containing copper and gallium by using a supporting liquid film, combined with a dispersion back extraction process. The treatment liquid may be a waste liquid (material) generated in an industrial production process or the like.

好ましい実施形態において、銅とガリウムを含む処理液からガリウムを除去して回収するプロセスが開示される。まず、細孔を有する支持材に設けられる液膜を提供する。次に、有機溶液に分散される水相逆抽出液を含む分散逆抽出液を提供する。前記有機溶液に抽出液が含まれる。次に、銅とガリウムを含む処理液のPH値を3.5より大きくならないように調節し、または初期濃度が10Nまたはそれより大きい酸を含むように濃縮酸を処理液に添加して、調節する。次に、細孔を有する支持液膜の一方において、銅とガリウムを含む処理液を処理し、前記液膜の他方において、前記分散逆抽出液を用いることによって、選択的に銅とガリウムを含む処理液からガリウムを除去して回収する。最後に、一部又は全部の分散逆抽出液を有機相と濃縮ガリウム溶液が含まれる水相逆抽出液に分ける。前記処理液のPH値を調節するステップにおいて、処理液が調節された初期のPH値は、回収が開始して、時間を経つにつれて変化する。同様に、前記処理液に濃縮酸を添加するステップにおいて、処理液に含まれる酸の初期濃度は、回収が開始して、時間を経つにつれて変化する。 In a preferred embodiment, a process for removing and recovering gallium from a processing solution containing copper and gallium is disclosed. First, a liquid film provided on a support material having pores is provided. Next, a dispersed back extract containing an aqueous back extract that is dispersed in an organic solution is provided. The organic solution includes an extract. Next, the pH value of the treatment solution containing copper and gallium is adjusted so as not to exceed 3.5, or the concentrated acid is added to the treatment solution so that the initial concentration contains an acid of 10 N or more, and adjusted. To do. Next, the treatment liquid containing copper and gallium is treated in one of the supporting liquid films having pores, and the dispersion back-extraction liquid is used in the other liquid film, thereby selectively containing copper and gallium. Gallium is removed from the processing solution and recovered. Finally, part or all of the dispersed back extract is divided into an aqueous phase back extract containing the organic phase and the concentrated gallium solution. In the step of adjusting the PH value of the processing liquid, the initial PH value at which the processing liquid is adjusted changes as time passes after recovery starts. Similarly, in the step of adding concentrated acid to the treatment liquid, the initial concentration of the acid contained in the treatment liquid changes as time passes after recovery starts.

また、前記銅とガリウムを含む処理液の初期のPH値を0.5〜1.5の範囲に調節すれば、更にガリウムの回収率を高めることができる。 Moreover, if the initial PH value of the treatment liquid containing copper and gallium is adjusted to a range of 0.5 to 1.5, the recovery rate of gallium can be further increased.

また、前記分散逆抽出液において、有機溶液の体積が水相逆抽出液の体積より大きく、有機溶液と水相逆抽出液の体積比率が2:1であってもよい。 Moreover, in the said dispersion | distribution back extract, the volume of an organic solution may be larger than the volume of a water phase back extract, and the volume ratio of an organic solution and a water phase back extract may be 2: 1.

また、前記ガリウムを除去して回収するプロセスにおいて、前記銅とガリウムを含む処理液の初期のPH値が3.5より大きい場合、ガリウムが処理液に沈殿して、ガリウムを除去して回収することができなくなってしまう。 Further, in the process of removing and collecting the gallium, when the initial pH value of the treatment liquid containing copper and gallium is greater than 3.5, the gallium is precipitated in the treatment liquid, and the gallium is removed and collected. It becomes impossible to do.

本発明は、いかなる支持液膜構造、例えば、中空繊維モジュールを用いても良い。中空繊維モジュールは、細孔を有する中空繊維を含み、シェル−チューブの複合構造を形成する。本発明において、分散逆抽出液102がシェル−チューブの複合構造のシェル側またはチューブ側の一方に流され、処理液104が他方(シェル側またはチューブ側)に流される。図1に示すように、中空繊維を用いる支持液膜によって、分散逆抽出液102に安定な支持が提供される。 The present invention may use any supported liquid membrane structure, for example, a hollow fiber module. The hollow fiber module includes hollow fibers having pores to form a shell-tube composite structure. In the present invention, the dispersion back extraction liquid 102 is flowed to one of the shell side or the tube side of the shell-tube composite structure, and the processing liquid 104 is flowed to the other (shell side or tube side). As shown in FIG. 1, a stable support is provided to the dispersed back-extracted liquid 102 by a supporting liquid film using hollow fibers.

また、処理液104が中空繊維モジュールのチューブ側に流され、分散逆抽出液が中空繊維モジュールのシェル側に流されてもよい。また、前記中空繊維を用いる支持液膜に流れる流体が逆方向に流される、つまり、シェル側に流される分散逆抽出液102とチューブ側に流される処理液104の流れる方向が逆になっている。これによって、処理液104と分散逆抽出液102の接触時間が延長され、抽出率を高めることができる。 Further, the treatment liquid 104 may be flowed to the tube side of the hollow fiber module, and the dispersion back-extraction liquid may be flowed to the shell side of the hollow fiber module. In addition, the fluid flowing through the support liquid membrane using the hollow fiber flows in the opposite direction, that is, the flow direction of the dispersion back-extracted liquid 102 flowing on the shell side and the processing liquid 104 flowing on the tube side is reversed. . As a result, the contact time between the treatment liquid 104 and the dispersion back-extraction liquid 102 is extended, and the extraction rate can be increased.

本発明の目的を達成するために、分散逆抽出液は、水相と有機相の混合物として定義される。前記水相は、水相逆抽出液を含み、有機相は、有機溶液に存在する一種類または多種類の抽出剤を含む。図1に示すように、分散逆抽出液は、前記水相と有機相を混合してなり、例えば分散逆抽出タンク110においてミキサー112で混合してなる。このような組成によって、水相逆抽出液が液滴の形態で連続する有機相に存在することができる。抽出工程において、分散逆抽出液が中空繊維モジュールに流され、維持される。分散逆抽出液の有機相は、細孔を有する中空繊維の疎水性の孔を濡らしやすいので、安定な液膜を形成できる。 For the purposes of the present invention, a dispersed back extract is defined as a mixture of an aqueous phase and an organic phase. The aqueous phase includes an aqueous phase back extract, and the organic phase includes one or more types of extractants present in the organic solution. As shown in FIG. 1, the dispersion back-extraction liquid is a mixture of the aqueous phase and the organic phase. For example, the dispersion back-extraction liquid is mixed in a dispersion back-extraction tank 110 with a mixer 112. With such a composition, the aqueous back extract can be present in the continuous organic phase in the form of droplets. In the extraction process, the dispersed back extract is flowed and maintained in the hollow fiber module. Since the organic phase of the dispersion back-extracted liquid easily wets the hydrophobic pores of the hollow fibers having pores, a stable liquid film can be formed.

図2は本発明の実施形態に係る支持液膜と分散逆抽出技術を結合するガリウムの回収装置を示す部分拡大図である。このプロセスの進行中、支持液膜の分散逆抽出液の方の圧力をPoとし、支持液膜の処理液の方に(処理液の流入方向202から流出方向204に向かって)、前記圧力Poより大きい低圧の圧力Pa(2psi程度)をかける。前記二つの圧力の差によって、分散逆抽出液中の有機溶液212が中空繊維の孔208を通過して支持液膜の処理液の方に浸透することが防止される。水相逆抽出液中に分散されている液滴210の大きさは約80〜800ミクロン。このようなサイズは、前記細孔を有する支持構造の孔208のサイズより、3倍ないし4倍以上になるので、支持液膜の分散逆抽出液の方にある液滴210は、細孔を有する支持構造の孔208を通過せず、処理液の方に到達することができない。 FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing a gallium recovery apparatus that combines the supporting liquid film and the dispersion back extraction technique according to the embodiment of the present invention. During the process, the pressure of the dispersion back-extraction liquid of the supporting liquid film is set to Po, and the pressure Po is applied to the processing liquid of the supporting liquid film (from the inflow direction 202 of the processing liquid toward the outflow direction 204). A higher low pressure Pa (about 2 psi) is applied. Due to the difference between the two pressures, the organic solution 212 in the dispersion back-extracted liquid is prevented from passing through the hole 208 of the hollow fiber and penetrating into the treatment liquid of the supporting liquid film. The size of the droplets 210 dispersed in the aqueous phase back extract is about 80 to 800 microns. Since such a size is three to four times or more than the size of the hole 208 of the support structure having the pores, the droplet 210 in the dispersed back-extraction liquid of the support liquid film has pores. It does not pass through the holes 208 of the supporting structure it has and cannot reach the treatment liquid.

本発明に係る支持液膜分散逆抽出システムにおいて、有機溶液、つまり分散逆抽出液の有機相は、持続に支持材の孔に供給される。このように持続的に供給することによって、支持液膜が安定に作用し続けることが確保される。また、有機相と逆抽出相が直接に接触することによって、逆抽出にとって物質の変換の効率がよくなる。また、有機相と逆抽出相を混合(例えば、高剪断混合)することによって、両者の接触面積を増やすことができる。 In the support liquid membrane dispersion back extraction system according to the present invention, the organic solution, that is, the organic phase of the dispersion back extract is continuously supplied to the pores of the support material. By supplying continuously as described above, it is ensured that the supporting liquid film continues to act stably. In addition, since the organic phase and the back extraction phase are in direct contact, the efficiency of substance conversion for back extraction is improved. Moreover, the contact area of both can be increased by mixing an organic phase and a back extraction phase (for example, high shear mixing).

ガリウムの除去が完成した後、分散逆抽出液のミキサー(例えばミキサー112)が停止して、分散逆抽出液が有機溶液と濃縮の逆抽出液の両相に分かれるまで静置する。この濃縮の逆抽出液は、本発明において開示される産物になる。 After the removal of gallium is completed, the dispersed back extractor mixer (eg, mixer 112) is stopped and allowed to stand until the dispersed back extract is separated into both phases of an organic solution and a concentrated back extract. This concentrated back extract is the product disclosed in the present invention.

実施例
基本プロセス
以下の実施例において、支持液膜と分散逆抽出液を結合して、水相の処理液から有機溶液にガリウムを抽出する。持続的に抽出されたガリウムを逆抽出するように水相の逆抽出液が分散される。支持液膜システムは、中空繊維モジュール(Liquid-Cel, extra-flow 2.5x8, Membrana-Charlotte, USA)と、処理液タンクと、処理液をポリプロピレンの中空繊維に配送する処理液ポンプ(model 7592-50, Cole-Parmer, USA)と、完全に水相逆抽出液を有機溶液に分散させるためのミキサー(mixer, SS-NZ-1000, Eyela, Japan)を有する分散逆抽出液タンクとを含み、また、水相物質を含む油相物質を液膜モジュールのシェル側に配送するためのもう一つのポンプ(model 7553-70, Cole-Parmer, USA)とを含む。中空繊維モジュールの直径は6.35センチ(2.5インチ)、長さは20.3センチ(8インチ)、薄膜の表面積は1.4平米である。
Example Basic Process In the following example, gallium is extracted from an aqueous phase treatment liquid into an organic solution by combining a supporting liquid membrane and a dispersion back-extraction liquid. The aqueous phase back extract is dispersed so as to back extract the continuously extracted gallium. The supporting liquid membrane system consists of a hollow fiber module (Liquid-Cel, extra-flow 2.5x8, Membrana-Charlotte, USA), a processing liquid tank, and a processing liquid pump (model 7592- 50, Cole-Parmer, USA) and a dispersed back extract tank having a mixer (mixer, SS-NZ-1000, Eyela, Japan) for completely dispersing the aqueous phase back extract into the organic solution, It also includes another pump (model 7553-70, Cole-Parmer, USA) for delivering the oil phase material including the water phase material to the shell side of the liquid membrane module. The diameter of the hollow fiber module is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches), the length is 20.3 cm (8 inches), and the surface area of the thin film is 1.4 square meters.

以下の実施例は、支持液膜に流れる流体が逆方向に流される形態で操作する。処理液は細孔ポリプロピレンの中空繊維モジュールのチューブ側に流され、モジュール及び分散タンク中において抽出されたガリウムが分散逆抽出液に逆抽出される。 In the following examples, the fluid flowing through the supporting liquid film is operated in the reverse direction. The treatment liquid is flowed to the tube side of the hollow fiber module of fine pore polypropylene, and gallium extracted in the module and the dispersion tank is back-extracted into the dispersion back-extraction liquid.

ガリウムを含む水相の処理液が処理液タンクに配送され、磁気振動器によって300rpmの回転速度で振動させる。逆抽出液として、塩酸溶液が用いられ、直径8.5センチの二葉式ミキサーによって300rpmの回転速度で有機溶液に分散される。前記有機溶液は、イソパラフィン溶剤(シェルケミカルズ社製、商品名「TM」溶剤)に添加されるガリウムの抽出剤とするジ−02−エチルヘキシルリン酸(D2EHPA)(メルク社製)を含む。
以下の実施例において、特別に指定する場合を除き、分散逆抽出液中の有機溶液と逆抽出液の体積比率は2:1とする。
The aqueous phase processing liquid containing gallium is delivered to the processing liquid tank and is vibrated at a rotational speed of 300 rpm by a magnetic vibrator. A hydrochloric acid solution is used as the back extract and is dispersed in the organic solution at a rotational speed of 300 rpm by a two-leaf mixer having a diameter of 8.5 cm. The organic solution contains di-02-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) (manufactured by Merck) as an extractant for gallium added to an isoparaffin solvent (manufactured by Shell Chemicals, trade name “TM” solvent).
In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, the volume ratio of the organic solution to the back extract in the dispersed back extract is 2: 1.

まず、処理液を中空繊維モジュールのチューブ側に流して、中空繊維モジュールに処理液が充満した後、水相物質を含む油相物質をポンプによって中空繊維モジュールのシェル側に流す。有機相が中空繊維の孔を通過して処理液に浸透するのを防止するために、チューブ側に、例えば、シェル側より4〜5psi程度高い正圧をかける。以下の実施例において、特別に指定する場合を除き、全てこの圧力で操作する。操作中、処理液と分散逆抽出液がそれぞれのタンクからポンプによって液膜モジュールに配送されて、再びタンクに戻される。ポンプで配送される流体の速度は1L/minである。 First, the treatment liquid is allowed to flow to the tube side of the hollow fiber module, and after the hollow fiber module is filled with the treatment liquid, an oil phase substance containing an aqueous phase substance is caused to flow to the shell side of the hollow fiber module by a pump. In order to prevent the organic phase from passing through the pores of the hollow fiber and penetrating into the treatment liquid, a positive pressure higher by about 4 to 5 psi than the shell side is applied to the tube side, for example. In the following examples, all operations are performed at this pressure unless otherwise specified. During operation, the treatment liquid and the dispersed back extract are delivered from each tank to the liquid membrane module by a pump and returned to the tank again. The speed of the fluid delivered by the pump is 1 L / min.

以下の実施例において、所定の時間置きに、処理液と分散逆抽出液をサンプリングして、分散逆抽出液のサンプルを分相して異なる相に分離するまで静置する。次に、分散逆抽出液及び処理液から採った水相サンプルのガリウムの濃度を分析する。以下の実施例において、特別に指定する場合を除き、原子吸光光度計(GBC 906, GBC, Australia)によって分析を行う。また、誘導結合プラズマ発光分析装置を用いて分析してもよい。 In the following examples, the processing liquid and the dispersed back extract are sampled at predetermined intervals, and the sample of the dispersed back extract is phase-separated and allowed to stand until it is separated into different phases. Next, the gallium concentration of the aqueous phase sample taken from the dispersion back-extraction liquid and the treatment liquid is analyzed. In the following examples, analysis is performed with an atomic absorption photometer (GBC 906, GBC, Australia) unless otherwise specified. Further, analysis may be performed using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission analyzer.

以下の実施例によって、異なる処理液の組成と体積で、本発明に開示されている支持液膜のガリウムの回収率と処理後の処理液と逆抽出液の濃度の性能が測定される。 The following examples measure the performance of the gallium recovery rate of the support liquid membrane and the concentration of the treated liquid and the back-extracted liquid after the treatment with different composition and volume of the treatment liquid.

まず、ポンプによって4.5wt%の銅と1.5wt%のガリウムを含む処理液がポリプロピレン中空繊維膜のチューブ側に搬送される。次に、分散逆抽出液が中空繊維膜のシェル側に注入される。前記「基本プロセス」に記載されているように、所定の時間置きに、処理液及び分散逆抽出液に対し、サンプリングして原子吸光光度計によって分析を行う。 First, a treatment liquid containing 4.5 wt% copper and 1.5 wt% gallium is transported to the tube side of the polypropylene hollow fiber membrane by a pump. Next, the dispersed back extract is injected into the shell side of the hollow fiber membrane. As described in the “basic process”, the processing solution and the dispersion back-extraction solution are sampled and analyzed by an atomic absorption photometer at predetermined time intervals.

処理液中のガリウムイオンの濃度が30ppmより小さくなるときに、反応を終了させて、分散逆抽出液をチューブから排出し、抽出タンクに集中して静置する。分相後、水相になった部分は回収された濃縮ガリウム溶液になる。ガリウムの濃度を測定した結果、約3wt%であって、計算によると、回収率が99.3%で、銅の除去率が99.7%である。この溶液を電解して、純度が4N以上の金属ガリウムが得られる。 When the concentration of gallium ions in the treatment liquid is less than 30 ppm, the reaction is terminated, the dispersed back extract is discharged from the tube, and is concentrated and left in the extraction tank. After phase separation, the portion that becomes the aqueous phase becomes the collected concentrated gallium solution. As a result of measuring the concentration of gallium, it was about 3 wt%.

After phase separation, the portion that becomes the aqueous phase becomes the collected concentrated gallium solution. As a result of measuring the concentration of gallium, it was about 4000 ppm. According to the calculation, the recovery rate was 99.1%, and the removal rates of copper and indium were 99.9% and 99.7%, respectively. Since indium and copper in the treatment liquid are not extracted by D2EHPA, after the reaction is finished, the solution containing copper, indium and gallium becomes a solution containing copper and indium, and gallium is extracted into the dispersion back-extraction solution and gallium A solution containing This separates indium and gallium.
