Washing, Drying, and Ignition of Precipitates00:52

Washing, Drying, and Ignition of Precipitates

After filtration, the precipitate is washed to remove coprecipitated impurities and any remaining mother liquor. Colloidal precipitates, such as silver chloride, are washed with an electrolyte (such as dilute nitric acid) to prevent the peptization of the precipitate. In the case of slightly soluble precipitates, the wash solution contains a common ion to reduce solubility. Lead sulfate, which is slightly soluble in water, is washed with dilute sulfuric acid. Similarly, wash solutions may be...
Sublimation01:03

Sublimation

Sublimation is the direct transformation of a solid to a gaseous state. For instance, at standard pressure and room temperature, solid carbon dioxide sublimes to gaseous carbon dioxide. The phase diagram depicts the conditions required for sublimation. This process occurs at the solid-gas phase boundary and is not observed above the triple point of the substance. The reverse of sublimation is called deposition, where a gaseous substance condenses directly into a solid. Sublimation and...
Volatilization01:10

Volatilization

Volatilization gravimetry is an analytical technique that measures the mass lost due to the volatilization of the substance. This technique is used to estimate the amount of volatile material in a sample. To perform this method, heat a known amount of the sample to a high temperature in a crucible or other suitable vessel. The volatile substance in the sample evaporates, and the vapor is completely expelled from the crucible either by heating the sample or bubbling a stream of inert gas through...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Metallurgy
  • Environmental Engineering

Background:

  • Waste liquid crystal displays (LCDs) represent a significant secondary source of indium, a critical element for electronics.
  • Efficient and environmentally friendly methods for indium recovery from e-waste are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a low-temperature reduction roasting method for selective indium recovery from waste LCDs.
  • To investigate the thermodynamic feasibility and phase behavior during indium volatilization and separation.
  • To optimize conditions for high indium recovery and separation efficiency from tin.

  • Phase behavior analysis in CO-CO2 and H2-H2O atmospheres.
  • Reduction roasting experiments at 875 °C under a 50% H2 atmosphere.
  • Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for molecular adsorption analysis.

Main Results:

  • A low-temperature roasting method achieved selective indium volatilization, producing indium(I) oxide (In2O).
  • Roasting at 875 °C under 50% H2 yielded an In/Sn separation coefficient of 11,761 and 98.5% indium recovery.
  • The recovered product consisted of high-purity (over 99.5%) indium and indium(III) oxide nanoparticles (average size ~262.9 nm).
  • Hydrogen atmosphere preserved the glass structure, unlike CO reduction.

Conclusions:

  • The developed H2-based reduction roasting method is a viable strategy for clean and effective recycling of indium from waste LCDs.
  • Selective indium volatilization as In2O is key to separating it from nonvolatile tin.
  • The process offers high recovery rates and purity, contributing to sustainable resource management.
