Research and Application of New Drying Process for Germanium Dioxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Oven drying and microwave drying processes for GeO2 after hydrolysis and filtration of GeCl4 were performed, and then the polymorphs, surface morphology and chemical composition, etc. of GeO2 were analyzed. The influence of microwave power and material thickness to GeO2 moisture removal rate was researched in a single-factor-based test. The gained optimum process parameters for microwave drying GeO2 are as below: microwave power is 400~550 W, material thickness for each time is 30~40 mm, and drying time for 1 kg GeO2 is 36.67~40.00 mins. The results show that through the two processes, they can both gain GeO2-06 products meeting national standard, and compare with them to obtain that microwave drying has the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption, no caking, etc.
