METHOD OF RECOVERING VALUABLE METALS FROM IZO SCRAP

摘要

A method of recovering valuable metals from IZO scraps, characterized by using the IZO scraps respectively as an anode and a cathode to conduct electrolysis while periodically reversing the polarity, and recovering the indium and zinc in the form of hydroxides. The method of recovering valuable metals from IZO scraps may be one characterized in that the hydroxides of indium and zinc obtained by the electrolysis are roasted to recover the indium and zinc in the form of oxides. By the method, indium and zinc can be efficiently recovered from IZO scraps such as an indium-zinc oxide (IZO) sputtering target and IZO fragments generating during production.
