METHOD FOR REMOVING AND CONCENTRATING GERMANY

摘要

FIELD: rare metal technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: method comprises precipitation of germanium in the form of scarcely dissoluble organic derivatives with mixture of hydroxycarboxylic acid and long-chain amine, the former, in particular, being tartaric, citric, or oxalic acid and the latter N-cetylpyridinium chloride or alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride at molar proportion of 2 to 6 per mole germanium. Method can be applied in processing of germanium-containing solutions and ammonia-tar liquors in by-product-coking industry. ^ EFFECT: increased degree of recovery and concentration of germanium, reduced consumption of reagents. ^ 3 cl, 6 tbl, 5 ex
