Overview
Germanium dioxide is a white to pale crystalline powder extracted and refined from germanium recovered in the zinc smelting circuit. It is the precursor for germanium metal and germanium-based materials.
Applications (company statement)
Used to produce germanium metal, and as a material for spectroscopy and semiconductors.
Typical downstream
- Germanium metal: reduction to germanium ingots and single crystals.
- Infrared optics and optical fibre: germanium-based optical components and fibre doping.
- Semiconductors and spectroscopy: germanium-based semiconductor materials and analytical reagents.
