Germanium has various special properties and has extensive and important applications in fields such as semiconductors, aerospace measurement and control, nuclear physics detection, fiber optic communication, infrared optics, solar cells, chemical catalysts, biomedicine, etc. It is an important strategic resource. In the electronic industry, in alloy pretreatment, and in the optical industry, it can also serve as a catalyst.
Germanium products will further increase technological innovation and transformation efforts, optimize process flow, and improve resource recovery and utilization rates. Due to its extensive demand and industrial upgrading and transformation, there is currently a demand for quality testing of germanium ore. The content of fluorine and chlorine in germanium ore is an important indicator, as fluorine and chlorine not only pollute the environment, but also corrode equipment and pipelines during the refining process, affecting product quality. Therefore, the research on the detection and methods of fluoride and chloride content in germanium ore has attracted widespread attention.
