Abstract

A laboratory study was carried out to recover KI crystals with high purity by using fractional crystallization method from a waste solution generated from the production of polarizing film for LCD industry. The waste solution contains 1.3% KI, and other impurities such as B, Na, and PVA etc. With purity higher than 99.5% KI crystals were produced through refining process such as vacuum evaporation, fractional crystallization, filtering, and 24hr aging. Also the concentrated impurities were eliminated about 70% by recrystallization.

LCD용 편광필름에 핵심적으로 사용되어진 요오드화칼륨 (KI, Potassium Iodide) 폐용액으로부터 분별결정법을 이용하여 고순도의 요오드화칼륨 결정을 제조하는 실험을 행하였다. 본 연구에서는 붕소, 나트륨 및 PVA 등의 불순물을 포함한 1.3% 요오드화칼륨 폐액을 3회에 걸쳐 농축하였으며, 용해도 차이를 이용하여 최대 불순물인 붕소화합물을 제거하고, 여과지를 이용하여 유기물을 제거하였다. 또한 24시간 숙성을 통하여 $K_2SO_4$ 형태로 불순물을 제거하여 99.5% 이상의 고순도 요오드화칼륨 결정을 제조하였으며, 재결정을 통하여 농축되어진 불순물을 약 70% 제거할 수 있었다.
