Abstract
Indium is one of the key components in an LCD. In this work a potential recycling method involving leaching and solvent extraction was studied. Leaching of crushed LCD glass was investigated using HCl, HNO3, or H2SO4. Results of leaching kinetics showed that nearly complete leaching of indium can be achieved using 1Â M HCl and 1Â M H2SO4 in less than 8Â h. A screening test was performed for the extraction and separation of indium from HCl or H2SO4 with DEHPA, TBP, and Cyanex 272 or Cyanex 923. More than 99% of indium from the aqueous feed can be recovered with a purity of 90%, by extracting metal ions from 1Â M or 0.1Â M H2SO4 to 0.1Â M DEHPA diluted in kerosene, and back-extracting with 1Â M HCl.
