摘要

高纯度碲在半导体和太阳能电池等高科技领域的应用需求很大。有效降低碲化物（IV）溶液中的硒含量是生产高纯度碲的挑战之一。本文报道了碲粉取代法在TeCl4溶液中除硒的热力学和动力学分析。热力学分析表明，碲和硒的分离窗口随着ph值的变化而变化，弱酸性或弱碱性溶液都不利于这两种元素的分离。在高酸性体系中，碲与亚硒酸盐离子以Te4+离子的形式共存，E（Te4+/Te）和E（H2SeO3/Se）的氧化还原平衡电位值存在显著差异，表明碲粉置换除硒的热力学可行性。在最佳反应条件下，高酸性四氯化碲中硒的去除率可达~ 99.9%，残留硒浓度为0.1 mg/L。动力学研究表明，碲粉取代法除硒主要由表观活化能为84.6 kJ/mol的化学反应控制。本研究为高纯度碲除硒提供了一种简单有效的方法。

A thermodynamic and kinetic study of efficient selenium removal from highly acidic TeCl4 solution using tellurium powder

High-purity tellurium is in high demand for applications in high-tech fields such as semiconductors and solar cells. To produce high-purity tellurium, one of the challenges is to effectively reduce selenium content of telluride (IV) solution. This study reports the thermodynamic and kinetic analysis for selenium removal by tellurium powder substitution in a TeCl₄ solution. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the separation window of tellurium and selenium significantly varies with pH. Solutions of weak acidity or basicity are unfavorable for the separation of these two elements. In highly acidic systems, tellurium coexists with selenite ions in the form of Te⁴⁺ ions, and the redox equilibrium potential values for E(Te⁴⁺/Te) and E(H₂SeO₃/Se) significantly differ, indicating the thermodynamic feasibility of selenium removal through tellurium powder replacement. Under optimal reaction condition, the selenium removal efficiency in highly acidic tellurium tetrachloride could reach ∼99.9 % with a residual selenium concentration of 0.1 mg/L. Kinetic studies indicated that selenium removal by tellurium powder substitution is primarily controlled by a chemical reaction with an apparent activation energy of 84.6 kJ/mol. This study provides a simple but efficient method for of selenium impurity removal toward high-purity tellurium.

期刊介绍： Hydrometallurgy aims to compile studies on novel processes, process design, chemistry, modelling, control, economics and interfaces between unit operations, and to provide a forum for discussions on case histories and operational difficulties. Topics covered include: leaching of metal values by chemical reagents or bacterial action at ambient or elevated pressures and temperatures; separation of solids from leach liquors; removal of impurities and recovery of metal values by precipitation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, gaseous reduction, cementation, electro-winning and electro-refining; pre-treatment of ores by roasting or chemical treatments such as halogenation or reduction; recycling of reagents and treatment of effluents.
