ABSTRACT:
A process to increase the content of germanium which is found in an iron hydroxide phase of an ore of the supergene type for later recovery by solvent extraction. The process comprises the steps of first crushing the ore, converting the ore to pulp, and then subjecting the pulp to a magnetic separation to give a magnetic fraction enriched in germanium. Also, the process can be used to increase the content of gallium which is found in a jarosite phase of an ore of the supergene type for later recovery by solvent extraction.
