Indium was extracted by technique of low acid leaching and solvent extraction. The conditions of separating iron and indium were studied and the optimal conditions were determined. When the residue is two class countercurrent leached with 2 mol/L H 2SO 4 and 30 40 g/L NaCl at 100 ℃, the leaching rate of indium is 80%. The extraction rate of indium is over 98% and that of iron is less than 5% after it is third class countercurrent extracted by P204, and when sulfonated kerosene is used as solvent, acidity in aqueous phase remains the same as that of leaching liquid, and phase is for 1∶3. Using 2 mol/L HCl as back extraction agent, with phase ratio being 5∶1, by third class countercurrent back extraction, the back extraction rate of indium is over 99%, but that of iron is very low, which can meet the need of separating indium and iron.展开更多

The glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) was applied for the analysis of input material and the distilled indium. The results indicate that high-volatile impurities namely Cd, Zn, T1 and Pb can be removed from the indium matrix at the low fraction stage of 1 223 K for 120 min; Low-volatile impurities such as Fe, Ni, Cu, Sn can be reduced at the high fraction stage of 1 323 K for 120 min. The separation coefficient ,8i and activity coefficient Yi of impurities are calculated according to the experiments to fill the inadequate data of the thermodynamics.展开更多

Using reduction lixivium from high-acid reductive leaching of zinc oxide calcine as raw solution, copper and indium were firstly recovered by iron powder cementation and neutralization. The recovery ratios of Cu and In are 99% and 95%, respectively. Some harmful impurities that have negative influences on magnetic properties of soft magnetic ferrite material are deeply removed with sulfidization purification and neutral flocculation method. Under the optimum conditions, the content of impurities like Cu, Pb, As, Al in pure Zn-Fe sulfate solution are less than 0.004 g/L, but those of Cd, Si, Ca and Mg are relatively high. Finally, thermal precipitation of iron is carried out at 210 ℃ for 1.5 h. The precipitation ratio of Fe is 93.33%. Compared with the quality standard of ferric oxide for soft magnetic ferrite materials, the contents of Al and Mg in obtained ferric oxide powder meet the requirement of YHT1 level of ferric oxide, and those of Si, Ca meet the requirement of YHT3 level of ferric oxide. XRD and SEM characterizations confirm that the obtained sample is well-dispersed spindle spherule with regular a-Fe2O3 crystal structure. The length-to-diameter ratio ofa-Fe2O3 powder is (3-4):1 with an average particle size of 0.5 μm.展开更多

The effects of current density, electrolytic period and circle arpJ ant of electrolyte on the electrochemical dissolution of lead and indium were investigated. The effects of extraction phase ratio and mixing time on solvent extraction of indium and striping phase ratio and stripping stage on the loaded organic phase stripping were also investigated. The experimental results indicate that under optimum conditions, the purity of lead deposited on cathode is 98.5% and the deposit rate of lead is 99.9%, the dissolution rate of indium is 94.28%, the extraction rate of indium is 98.69%, the stripping rate of indium is almost 100%, and the impurity elements, such as Zn, Fe and Sn can be removed.展开更多

The indium modified AP65 exhibits accelerated pitting corrosion and overall corrosion, but there is almost no incubation period at the onset of corrosion. Polarization curve measurements indicate that the indium modified AP65 has more negative corrosion potential, which is an improvement aspect of the electrochemical activation. The corrosion current density increases from 0.126 to 0.868 mA/cm2 with and without 2.0% (mass fraction) indium addition. The mean potentials of AP65 negatively shift from -1.491 V to -1.584 V by adding 2.0% indium. The effect of indium addition on the corrosion performance of AP65 seems to be associated with the decrease of cathode-to-anode area ratio of the alloy, which may change the electrochemical anode and cathode polarization behavior of the alloy.展开更多
