Comparative example 1
Chinese patent CN 102296178A, a method for recovering copper indium gallium selenide, first uses hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve metal powder. Selenium is separated using hydrazine to replace copper with indium. The indium gallium is separated by using a supported liquid film in combination with a dispersion stripping solution.
Comparative example 2
US patent US 5779877 discloses a two-electrode electrolytic separation of copper, selenium and gallium using nitric acid as a leaching agent. Then evaporating and decomposing to form a mixture of indium and zinc oxides, and oxidizing, distilling and separating copper and selenium.
Comparative example 3
Chinese patent CN 104032136 a, a recycling method for recycling copper indium gallium selenium, which uses copper indium gallium selenium waste as an anode device to perform electrolysis for recycling gallium, reduces and separates indium from indium hydroxide and copper selenium mixture by acid dissolution, and reduces and obtains selenium and copper by steps after the remaining copper selenium solution is acid-dissolved.
Comparative example 1 the process used a hydrochloric acid hydrogen peroxide medium as a dissolving agent to leach all selenium, copper, indium and gallium into solution. Then, the production cost of reducing selenium by hydrazine is high, and copper is replaced by indium, so that the production process flow is long and the operation cost is overhigh.
Comparative example 2 the process flow is too long and only metal oxides can be obtained, the results of two electrode points are difficult to control, and the oxidative distillation separation is difficult to be carried out completely.

Gallium is in a liquid state at normal temperature in the electrolytic separation process, and the control difficulty of production operation conditions is high. The copper-selenium anode mud belongs to inert metal and is difficult to realize by using acid dissolution only.
Therefore, the method selectively leaches the copper, the indium and the gallium by controlling the reduction potential, and the selenium is not leached, so that the selenium reduction process is reduced; then, copper and indium are selectively replaced step by step, so that the extraction flow of copper and indium is saved; then "depositing gallium-making liquid-electrodepositing" to produce metal gallium.
