Progress on the recovery and value-increment of resources containing beryllium
Beryllium,a light metal with excellent properties,plays an important role in nuclear energy,inertial navigation system,infrared optical system and other fields.Due to the scarcity of beryllium resources in China,it is particularly important to recycle and utilize the secondary resources of beryllium which are produced in large quantities and not fully utilized in the process of beryllium production and application.At the same time,with the rapid development of China's electronics,aerospace and other industries and the continuous iteration of high-end devices,higher requirements have been put forward for the purity of metal beryllium.Therefore,in order to realize the high-value utilization of beryllium resources and promote the independent research and development of high-purity beryllium preparation process,this article systematically reviewed the recovery methods and process flow of beryllium-containing resources and the refining process of high-purity beryllium products in the process of industrial production and application.This article also analyzed and prospected the advantages and disadvantages of each process mentioned above.
