It is used as various heat and corrosion resistant materials because of its high heat resistance and excellent chemical stability.
Further, a stable anodic oxide film is formed on the surface, and the fact that the film has a very high dielectric constant is used as a sintered tantalum capacitor. Tantalum is usually potassium tantalum fluoride (K 2 Ta F 7 ) and sodium (N 2
It is obtained by a method of reduction using an alkali metal such as a) or potassium (K). The reduction reaction is based on the following reaction formula. K 2 T a F 7 + 5Na → Ta + 2KF + 5NaF ‥‥‥ (1) This reaction is K 2 T a F 7 a predetermined temperature (600 to 900
(° C), the reaction starts when the metallic sodium is contacted, and the bath temperature becomes 1 due to the heat of reaction as the reaction progresses.
Reach high temperatures around 000 ° C. As a result, the generated tantalum particles grow or sinter each other into coarse particles, which is unsuitable for capacitors. Further, it is difficult to uniformly contact the sodium metal with K 2 Ta F 7 or it becomes difficult to separate the produced tantalum metal and the by-produced mixed salt, which causes a problem that the yield decreases.

再利用の方法も見出されていない。Therefore, it has been proposed to use an alkali metal halide such as potassium fluoride (KF), potassium chloride (KCl) or sodium chloride (NaCl) as a diluting salt in the above reduction reaction (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-242242). 48-
No. 43006, JP-A-62-278210). If using dilute salt, the bath temperature should be 760-850.
Even if the temperature is as low as ℃, the fluidity is still good, the separation of the produced tantalum and the by-product mixed salt is easy and the yield is high, and the produced tantalum becomes fine particles, which is suitable for capacitors. Although the effect of using diluted salt is great,
The amount of mixed salt produced as a by-product also increases and its treatment becomes a problem,
At present, a large amount of water is added to dissolve it, and lime is added to fix it as calcium fluoride for treatment, and no effective recycling method has been found.

して使用できる。The reaction equation when using, for example, KF and KCl as the diluting salt is as follows. K 2 T a F 7 + 5Na + mkF + nKCl → Ta + (2 + m) KF + nKCl + 5NaF ‥‥‥ (2) diluting salt is KF, KCl, used respectively NaCl alone or in combination. Here, the amounts m and n of KF or KCl used as a diluting salt are 0.2 to 2.5 times the amount of the raw material K 2 Ta F 7 in a weight ratio (m. 4 to 16.9 times), when using KF and KCl together,
m is 0.2 to 2.5 times the K 2 T a F 7 weight in a weight ratio (from 1.4 to 16.9 times in mole ratio), 15.8 times n is 3.0 times or less (molar ratio The following is used in the range. When the amount of the diluted salt used is large and the amount of the mixed salt produced as a by-product is large, the raw material cost is increased, and the treatment of the mixed salt produced as a by-product becomes a serious problem. Looking at the reaction of equation (2),
It is a form in which KF and NaF produced by reduction are mixed in a mixed salt of KF and KCl added as a diluted salt. If NaF can be separated and removed from this by-product mixed salt, it can be used as a diluted salt.

The above impurities are harmful elements for tantalum for capacitors, and the content in the diluted salt must be as low as possible. Conventionally, a mixed salt of KF and NaF containing an impurity metal or a mixed salt of KF, KCl and NaF is used to obtain high purity KF.
Or there is no effective means to separate KF and KCl,
Furthermore, there is no known means for separating and purifying the mixed salt generated from the tantalum reduction step and reusing it. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an effective means for separating and purifying a mixed salt by-produced by the alkali metal reduction of K 2 Ta F 7 and reusing it. .

F及びKClの純度を確保することとした。The actual by-product salt coexists with a few components and also contains an impurity metal. Therefore, the solubility in water at 40 ° C. is KF: 60 wt%, N in the KF-NaF system.
aF: 10 ppm or less, K in KF-KCl-NaF system
F: 52 wt%, KCl: 6 wt%, NaF: 10 ppm or less. In the present invention, water is used in an amount equal to or less than the amount required to dissolve only KF and KCl in the by-product salt, and NaF is removed as an insoluble residue. In this case, KF and KC
The amount of water in which only 1 is dissolved is determined based on the solubility of each component shown in Table 1. Undissolved KF when the amount of water is small
And KCl remain and the recovery rate decreases, but the purity increases.
When the amount of water is large, the amount of NaF mixed in increases. Therefore, in the present invention, the theoretical amount of water necessary for KF and KCl to dissolve is used as an upper limit, and the amount of water less than that is used.
It was decided to ensure the purity of F and KCl.

て残渣として分離除去できる。The temperature of water to be dissolved is preferably 17 ° C. or higher at which the solubility of KF becomes high. Since the solubility of KF is saturated at 45 ° C. or higher, even if it is dissolved at an excessively high temperature, the effect is poor, and rather impurities are mixed. Therefore, the melting temperature is 17 to 45 ° C, preferably 25 to 40 ° C. The pH of the aqueous solution during dissolution should be 12-14 alkaline. Usually, the alkalinity is maintained by the unreacted Na in the by-product salt, but when the amount of unreacted Na is small, it is necessary to adjust the pH. When an impurity metal ion is present in an alkaline aqueous solution, it becomes an insoluble hydroxide and can be separated and removed as a residue by the subsequent filtration treatment.

て希釈塩を選択する。Next, the recovered KF or the crystals of KF and KCl are dried and used as a diluted salt in a new reduction step of K 2 T a F 7 . The reduction reaction follows the equation (2). Here, the diluted salt may be KF alone or KF and KCl may be shared. Further, NaCl may be used together. The more components and amounts used, the lower the melting point of the reaction bath and the easier the operation. However, the powder properties such as the particle size and specific surface area of Ta produced by reduction are affected by the reaction temperature, and therefore the diluent salt is selected in consideration of them.
