Abstract: A comprehensive utilization method of beneficiation-metallurgy-chemical combination for germanium-rich lignite includes the following steps: 1) germanium-rich lignite sizing and grinding, 2) catalytic pre-oxidation, 3) nitric acid leaching, and 4) recycling and enrichment of germanium solution. The high effective extraction of germanium from the germanium-rich lignite was achieved via a combination of mineral beneficiation, hydrometallurgy, and chemical processing. Meanwhile, a high yield and high degree of depolymerization humic acid product was produced as byproducts. This method could not only effectively avoid high carbon emission and organic resource waste during conventional germanium-rich lignite pyrometallurgical processing, but also could produce humic acid as quality raw materials for metallurgical and agricultural industries, which has advantages of less environmental pollution, high extraction efficiency, and low comprehensive costs.
