Abstract

In order to separate Indium and Tin from spent indium tin oxide (ITO) sludge, direct hydrochloric acid leaching and thermal reduction followed by HCl leaching were applied. In case of direct leaching of spent ITO, leaching rate of In and Sn was 18.5% and 19.95%, respectively. Whereas, in case of thermal hydrogen treatment of ITO sludge at different temperatures such as $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$, followed by HCl leaching, we obtained the result of more than 97% leaching rate of Sn. Specially, thermal treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ showed the highest leaching rate of 98.2% of Sn. Precipitation method was used for separation and recovery of Sn from leached mixed solution. If the solution pH were adjusted 2.0, 99.69% of Sn precipitated and 10.3% of In was precipitated. This confirmed the possibility of separation of Sn and In from leached solution by precipitation method.

폐 ITO 슬러지로부터 주석과 인듐을 분리하기 위해 염산 직접 침출방법과 환원 열처리($700^{\circ}C{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$)후 염산 침출방식을 고찰하였다. 폐 ITO 슬러지의 염산 직접 침출시 인듐의 침출율은 18.5%이고 주석의 침출율은 19.95% 이었다. 한편, 폐ITO 슬러지를 수소분위기하에서 $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 후에 염산을 이용하여 침출시에는 주석의 침출율이 97% 이상으로 개선되었고, 온도가 $800^{\circ}C$일 때 침출율이 98.2 %로 가장 효과가 좋았다. 주석 및 인듐이 침출된 혼합용액에서 주석의 분리 및 회수를 위해 침전법을 사용하였다. 침출용액의 pH를 2.0으로 조절할 경우, 주석은 99.69%가 침전되었으나 인듐은 10.3%만 침전되어 상호분리가 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.
