Abstract:
      Germanium was recovered from low grade lignite germanium concentrates by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide under alkaline conditions and distillation separation with hydrochloric acid. Germanium recovery is 97.2% above with 31.5 percent point higher than that of conventional distillation under the optimum conditions including dosage of sodium hydroxide of 30% of germanium concentrates, dosage of hydrogen peroxide (30%) of 25% of germanium concentrates, oxidation pretreatment duration of 1.5 h, and dosage of hydrochloric acid of 9 times of germanium concentrates.
