During 2001 GEO Chemicals (USA) announced plans for construction of a new gallium extraction facility located at Pinjarra, South of Perth, Australia, at the site the former gallium chloride plant previously operated by Rhodia. The proposed major plant was designed at 100 tpa to produce gallium of four nines (4N) quality.

Brown corundum dust, which is created during the manufacturing of brown corundum using bauxite as the raw material, is a vital carrier of gallium. To ascertain the presence of the contained gallium, the brown corundum dust was measured and characterized (XRF, XRD, ICP-OES, EPMA, SEM-EDS, etc.). Gallium was extracted …

Based on the current investigation, it is estimated that approximately 90% of gallium is extracted from the aluminum industry. Therefore, it is imperative for us to …

In 1969, the Port-Maghera (P-M) Electric Zinc Plant in Italy realized the method of simultaneous recovery of three valuable metals, gallium, germanium, and ... Kelex100 was first proposed by France to extract gallium from alkaline aluminum solution and later applied to extract germanium in sulfuric acid. ... Ore Geol. Rev., 30 (2007), pp. …

The distribution isotherm for gallium extraction was determined by utilizing the chosen oxime extractant in conjunction with the feed solution that contained 0.95 mg/L Ga(III) and employing O/A ratios of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 at a temperature of 298 K and the pH of the solution was set at 2.0 (Table 2). By executing solvent extraction ...

1. Gallium in Bayer mother liquor. Gallium is a rare metal that plays an important role in the semiconductor industry. The demand for metal gallium has increased year by year. However, the source of metal gallium is scarce, and its products are mainly from by-products of the aluminum industry. Bauxite usually contains 0.002-0.008% of metal …

However, when the initial acid concentration in stage B decreased from 4.9 to 2.9M, gallium extraction dropped from 97 to 70%. Table 2 also lists the total amount of acid used on a kg/mt basis. At 20 …

Extraction at a pH of 1.48 ensures selectivity towards indium, while extraction of the raffinate at a pH of 1.99 allows for selective isolation of gallium. Studies have shown that the re-extraction of these metals from the extract is more effective using the H 2 SO 4 solution compared to the HCl solution [ 69 ].

The first of these is a hydrophobic ionic liquid with a low water content, which allows the extraction of gallium directly from untreated Bayer process liquor.

Solvent extraction with the organophosphate, OPAP, proved very successful for recovering over 98 pct of the gallium from solutions with pH values as low as 0. Gallium extraction using OPAP was hindered when ferric iron was present in solution. Therefore, it was necessary to maintain the iron in the filtrate in a reduced state.
