저마늄(게르마늄) 화학적 특성, 용도, 생산

• 개요

  Germanium is extracted from zinc ores in a very complicated process as it has aqueous properties similar to those of zinc. Once the germanium/zinc mixture has been sufficiently enriched with germanium, it is heated in HCl with Cl₂ in order to allow the formation of germanium tetrachloride (GeCl₂).

• 화학적 성질

  Germanium is a grayish-white, lustrous, and brittle metalloid. The powder is grayish-black and odorless. It is never found free and occurs most commonly in ergyrodite and germanite. It is generally recovered as a by-product in zinc production, coal processing, or other sources.

• 물리적 성질

  Germanium has a gray shine with a metallic silvery-white luster. It is a brittle elementclassed as a semimetal or metalloid, meaning it is neither a metal such as iron or copper nora nonmetal, such as phosphorus, sulfur, or oxygen. Germanium has some properties likea metal and some like a nonmetal. It is a crystal in its pure state, somewhat like silicon. Itwill combine with oxygen to form germanium dioxide, which is similar to silicon dioxide(sand).
  Germanium is not found in its free elemental state because it is much too reactive. For themost part, it is found combined with oxygen, either as germanium monoxide or as germaniumdioxide. Also, it is recovered from the ores of zinc, copper, and arsenic and the flue depositsof burning coal.
  The crystal structure of germanium is similar to that of diamonds and silicon, and its semiconductingproperties are also similar to silicon.The melting point of germanium is 938.3°C, its boiling point is 2833°C, and its densityis 5.323 g/cm³.

• Isotopes

  There are a total of 38 isotopes of Germanium, five of which are stable. Thestable isotopes of germanium and their natural abundance are as follows: Ge-70 =20.37%, Ge-72 = 27.31%, Ge-73 = 7.76%, Ge-74 = 36.73%, and Ge-76 = 7.83%.Ge-76 is considered stable because it has such a long half-life (0.8×10⁺²⁵ years)All theother 33 isotopes are radioactive and are produced artificially.

• Origin of Name

  Germanium’s name was derived from the Latin word Germania, meaning “Germany.”

• 출처

  Germanium, the 52nd most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, is widely distributed,but never found in its natural elemental state. It is always combined with other elements,particularly oxygen.
  Germanium’s main minerals are germanite, argyrodite, renierite and canfieldite, all ofwhich are rare. Small amounts of germanium are found in zinc ore, as well as in copper andarsenic ores. It is known to concentrate in certain plants on Earth, particularly in coal: commercialquantities are collected from the soot in the stacks where coal is burned.

• Characteristics

  Once germanium is recovered and formed into blocks, it is further refined by the manufacturerof semiconductors. It is melted, and the small amounts of impurities such as arsenic, gallium,or antimony, are added. They act as either electron donors or acceptors that are infused(doped) into the mix. Then small amounts of the molten material are removed and used togrow crystals of germanium that are formed into semiconducting transistors on a germaniumchip. The device can now carry variable amounts of electricity because it can act as both aninsulator and a conductor of electrons, which is the basis of modern computers.

• 용도

  In electronics: manufacture of rectifying devices (germanium diodes), transistors, in red-fluorescing phosphors; in dental alloys; in the production of glass capable of transmitting infrared radiation. Review of uses: Aldington, Cumming, Endeavour 14, 200-204 (1955); New Uses for Germanium, F. I. Metz, Ed. (Midwest Research Institute, 1974) 120 pp.

• 생산 방법

  The concentration of germanium in the earth’s crust is approximately 7 ppm. Germanium is not found in the free state, but in combination with other elements as a mineral, such as in the mineral argyrodite (Ag8GeS6, 5–7% Ge) and germanite (7CuS–FeS2–GeS2, 8.7% Ge). Enargite, a Cu–As sulfide, is found in the western United States and contains as much as 0.03% Ge; however, none of these minerals are utilized for recovery of germanium because of the small quantities available. The principal domestic source of germanium is from the residues of cadmium derived from zinc ores. Commercial recovery of germanium has been chiefly from zinc and Zn–Cu–Pb ores, germanite, and flue dusts from coals. Some silver and tin ores contain germanium, as do many types of coal. Oak and beech humus in one locality in Germany reportedly contain 70 ppm germanium.

• 정의

  A hard brittle gray metalloid element belonging to group 14 (formerly IVA) of the periodic table. It is found in sulfide ores such as argyrodite (4Ag₂S·GeS₂) and in zinc ores and coal. Most germanium is recovered during zinc or copper refining as a by-product. Germanium was extensively used in early semiconductor devices but has now been largely superseded by silicon. It is used as an alloying agent, catalyst, phosphor, and in infrared equipment. Symbol: Ge; m.p. 937.45°C; b.p. 2830°C; r.d. 5.323 (20°C); p.n. 32; r.a.m. 72.61.

• 위험도

  Many of the chemicals used in the semiconductor industries are highly toxic. For example,germanium-halogen compounds are extremely toxic, both as a powder and in a gaseous state.Precautions should be taken when working with germanium as with similar metalloids fromgroup 14 (IVA).

• 공업 용도

  A rare elemental metal, germanium (Ge) has agrayish white crystalline appearance and hasgreat hardness: 6.25 Mohs. Its specific gravityis 5.35, and melting point is 937°C. It is resistantto acids and alkalies. It has metallic-appearingcrystals with diamond structure, givesgreater hardness and strength to aluminum andmagnesium alloys, and as little as 0.35% in tinwill double the hardness. It is not used commonlyin alloys, however, because of its rarityand great cost. It is used chiefly as metal inrectifiers and transistors. An Au–Ge alloy, withabout 12% germanium, has a melting point of359°C and has been used for soldering jewelry.
  Germanium is obtained as a by-productfrom flue dust of the zinc industry, or it can beobtained by reduction of its oxide from the ores,and is marketed in small irregular lumps. Germaniumcrystals are grown in rods up to 3.49cm in diameter for use in making transistorwafers. High-purity crystals are used for both P and Nsemiconductors. They are easier topurify and have a lower melting point than othersemiconductors, specifically silicon.

• 잠재적 노출

  Because of its semiconductor proper ties, germanium is widely used in the electronic industry in rectifiers, diodes, and transistors. It is alloyed with alumi num, aluminum magnesium, antimony, bronze, and tin to increase strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance. In the process of alloying germanium and arsenic, arsine may be released; stibine is released from the alloying of germanium and antimony. Germanium is also used in the manufacture of optical glass for infrared applications; red-fluorescing phosphors; and cathodes for electronic valves; and in elec troplating; in the hydrogenation of coal; and as a catalyst, particularly at low temperatures. Certain compounds are used medically. Industrial exposures to the dust and fumes of the metal or oxide generally occur during separation and purification of germanium, welding, multiple-zone melting operations, or cutting and grinding of crystals. Germanium tetrahydride (germanium hydride, germane, and monoger mane) and other hydrides are produced by the action of a reducing acid on a germanium alloy.

• 환경귀착

  Metals are recalcitrant to degradation; therefore, no biodegradation studies have been performed on germanium compounds. Naturally occurring germanium exists in mineral ores; therefore, the levels of free germanium are expected to be low and of low concern for bioaccumulation in aquatic and terrestrial species, due to negligible exposures.

• Purification Methods

  Copper contamination on the surface and in the bulk of single crystals of Ge can be removed by immersion in molten alkali cyanide under N2. The Ge is placed in dry K and/or Na cyanide powder in a graphite holder in a quartz or porcelain boat. The boat is then inserted into a heated furnace which, after a suitable time, is left to cool to room temperature. At 750o, a 1mm thickness of metal requires about 1minute, whereas 0.5cm needs about half hour. The boat is removed from the furnace, and the solid samples are taken out with plastic-coated tweezers, carefully rinsed in hot water and dried in air [Wang J Phys Chem 60 45 1956, Schenk in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol I p 712 1963]. Care with the use of cyanide.
