An exception to this rule is the Apex Mine ore which has served as the only primary source in the world for direct production of gallium and germanium. In addition, the solvent extraction and bioleaching possibilities of these metals Some zinc-copper-lead ore bodies contain enough germanium to justify extraction from the final ore concentrate. An unusual natural enrichment process causes a high content of germanium in some coal seams, discovered by Victor Moritz Goldschmidt during a broad survey for germanium deposits. The highest ciations with Germanium are Arsenic, Gallium, Silicon, Tin, Zinc, and other ele-ments [3]. The industrial production of Germanium nowadays comes from two main sources: zinc ores processing and coal fly-ashes. While most of Germanium produced is a by-product of zinc processing, some Germanium is extracted from Germanium is mainly a byproduct of zinc ore processing. It is a hard, grayish-white element; it has a metallic luster and the same crystal structure as diamond; and it is brittle, like glass. In addition, it is important to note that germanium is a semiconductor, with electrical properties between those of a metal and an insulator. Jun 05, 2018Zinc residue with high germanium, a waste solid product of hydrometallurgical zinc process is dumped continuously, causing the loss of germanium. Zinc residue was characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry methods. The results showed that, the mineralogical compositions of the zinc Dec 01, 20211. Introduction. The two main sources of germanium for industrial production are smelting residues from lead-zinc mines and coal flue ash (Depuydt et al., 2007, Nusen et al., 2015).Zinc oxide dust with high germanium content is obtained by pyrometallurgical enrichment of lead-zinc ore residue containing germanium, that is, zinc oxide dust is prepared by Germanium ores are very rare. They are found in small quantities as the minerals germanite and argyrodite. Germanium minerals are also present in zinc ores, and commercial production of germanium is carried out by processing zinc smelter flue dust. It can also be recovered from the by-products of combustion of certain coals. Germanium is mainly a byproduct of zinc ore processing. It is a hard, grayish-white element; it has a metallic luster and the same crystal structure as diamond; and it is brittle, like glass.

A zinc smelter in Clarksville, TN, produced and exported germanium leach concentrates 9 The available resources of germanium are associated with certain zinc and lead-zinc-copper sulfide ores. Substantial U.S. reserves of Central R&D Laboratory, Hindustan Zinc Limited, Zinc Smelter, Udaipur 313024 Received 30 April 1984;revised 24 July 1984;rereoised and accepted 1 February 1985 A simple and rapid colorimetric method for the estimation of germanium in zinc concentrates, zinc oxide and drum-filter-cake samples encountered in the zinc industry is reported. The Zinc ore is most commonly found as zinc carbonate (ZnCO 3), known as calamine or smithsonite. It generally occurs as rounded, crystalline crusts or granular, honeycombed masses that have a vitreous or pearly luster and are typically dirty brown or grey in colour. This process often destroyed the original vein, instead creating a series of Germanium is recovered from the flue dust of industrial plants processing zinc ores. Germanium is mainly used in the semiconductor industry. Tin is easily obtained from it ore (cassiterite (SnO 2)) by reduction with carbon. Tin is expensive and not very strong but it is resistant to corrosion. 20 Lead is durable and malleable Sep 23, 2018From Figure 1 it is apparent that in the leaching of Apex ore, germanium solubility decreased substantially in highly concentrated sulfuric acid solutions. This same behavior was observed in the leaching of germanium from zinc processing residues (Harbuck, 1989). Pugh (1929), in studying the GeO2-H2SO4 system at 25°C, Figure 2, found that as Germanium is mainly a byproduct of zinc ore processing. It is a hard, grayishwhite element; it has a metallic luster and the same crystal structure as diamond; and it is brittle, like glass. In addition, it is important to note that germanium is a semiconductor, with electrical properties between those of a metal and an insulator. About Germanium Market. germanium (Ge) supply is primarily dependent on zinc mining as it is produced as a by-product from zinc ore and is not mined as a primary material. recycling is an important source of Ge supply; about 30% of the world’s total production of germanium is from recycled material. germanium demand is foreseen to increase in The invention relates to the manufacture of high purity germanium for the manufacture of e.g. infra red optics, radiation detectors and electronic devices.
