摘 要: 研究了铟的电解精炼中电解液的选择与配制和酸度对杂质锡含量的影响, 并初步探讨了电解液中锡离子的行为。 研究表明: 采用
In2(SO4)3H2SO4体系具有组成简单、 操作方便、 阳极无毒性气体析出的优点。 锡在阴极主要以Sn2+的形式析出, 电解液的酸度控制在pH值2~3之间, 可将锡含量控制在最低水平。 电解过程中, 阴极pH值将增大, 阳极pH值将变小, 可通过加入H2SO4和固体的NaOH颗粒来控制电解液酸度。

Abstract:The selection and preparation of electrolyte solution, the change of acidity and the effect of acidity on level of tin in electrorefining indium were investigated, and the behavior of tin ion in electrolyte solution was studied. Electrolyte solution In2(SO4)3H2SO4 is simple and convenient in operation, and the evolution of poisonous gas is avoided on the anode. Sn2+ can be deposited on cathode, but the tin deposition is decreased to lowest at pH 2~3. pH would increase on the cathode region, but decrease on the anode region in electrolytic refining. The method of acidity control by adding sulfuric acid or solid sodium hydrate was described.
Key words: indium; electrolytic refining; acidity; tin
