A process and system for the synthesis and/or purification of crude germane to provide a purified germane product are disclosed herein. In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for making a purified germane product containing less than 1 volume percent of one or more germanium-containing impurities comprising: providing a crude germane fluid; passing at least a portion of the crude germane fluid through a first adsorbent which selectively adsorbs water and carbon dioxide contained therein and withdrawing therefrom a partially purified germane fluid; passing at least a portion of the partially purified germane fluid through a second adsorbent which selectively adsorbs the one or more germanium-containing impurities contained therein and withdrawing therefrom a hydrogen-enriched purified germane fluid; and separating the purified germane product hydrogen from the hydrogen-enriched purified germane fluid.
摘要:
In the invention, an electrochemical etching of crystalline germanium or a germanium alloy produces well-segregated chromatic clusters of nanoparticles. Distinct strong bands appear in the photoluminescence spectra under 350 nm excitation with the lowest peaks in wavelength identified to be at 430, 480, and 580 and 680-1100 nm. The material may be dispersed into a discrete set of luminescent nanoparticles of 1-3 nm in diameter, which may be prepared into colloids and reconstituted into films, crystals, etc.

A process for selective separation of germanium-68 from proton irradiated molybdenum targets is provided and includes dissolving the molybdenum target in a hydrogen peroxide solution to form a first ion-containing solution, contacting the first ion-containing solution with a cationic resin whereby ions selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, niobium, technetium, selenium, vanadium, arsenic, germanium, zirconium and rubidium remain in a second ion-containing solution while ions selected from the group consisting of rubidium, zinc, beryllium, cobalt, iron, manganese, chromium, strontium, yttrium and zirconium are selectively adsorbed by the first resin, adjusting the pH of the second ion-containing solution to within a range of from about 0.7 to about 3.0, adjusting the soluble metal halide concentration in the second ion-containing solution to a level adapted for subsequent separation of germanium, contacting the pH-adjusted, soluble metal halide-containing second ion-containing solution with a dextran-based material whereby germanium ions are separated by the dextran-based material, and recovering the germanium from the dextran-based material, preferably by distillation.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for recovering gallium and/or germanium from fly ash which comprises pelletizing the fly ash, treating the pellets in the presence of an oxidizing gas at a temperature of from about 900.degree. C. to just below the fusion temperature of the pellets, treating the pellets in the presence of a reducing gas at the same temperature range, and recovering gallium and/or germanium suboxides from the gas.
摘要:
A process for purifying solid substances by melting and subsequent resoliication, wherein a melted bath of the solid substance is formed, a roller is placed in the bath so that a first portion of its surface is in contact with the melted substance, and the surface of the roller is cooled to a temperature below the melting point of the solid substance. The cooled roller is rotated in the melted substance to collect a solidified film of the substance on the roller surface. A second portion of the roller surface is passed through a heated zone at a temperature above the melting point of the solid substance, so that the solidified film is remelted and collected in an appliance.
摘要:
A germanium body containing impurities therein, such as B or Al is provided with a layer of a gettering material such as pure Si or SiO.sub.2, along at least one surface of the body, a melt zone is generated about the so-coated body and passed a number of times from one end of the body to the other whereby the gettering material binds the impurities within the germanium body and complex-impurity compounds accumulate at the respective ends of the body. After a desired degree of purity is achieved, the melt zone is deenergized and the impurity-containing ends are severed from the remaining body portion and any excess gettering material is removed.

Catalysts are provided which are useful in the oxidation of olefins to aldehydes and conjugated dienes and in ammoxidation of olefins to nitriles. The catalysts comprise the combined oxides of uranium and arsenic on a catalyst support and the combined oxides of uranium and arsenic promoted by molybdenum, boron, vanadium, tin, nickel, bismuth, chromium, iron, manganese, zinc, tungsten, antimony, cerium, cobalt or rhenium.
