Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of separating tellurium (Te) and selenium (Se) by using a neutral extractant (for example, either one of TBP and TEHP, or in combination thereof) from a dissolved solution of tellurium, such as a waste thermoelectric material. When tellurium and selenium are separated by using the method of this invention from a dissolved solution in which a Bi2Te3-based waste thermoelectric material is dissolved, a recovery rate of 97% or more and a separation factor of 400 or more for tellurium may be achieved, and therefore, tellurium and selenium may be separated in a very effective and economic manner as compared to conventional methods. Further, the present invention is characterized in that environmental pollution issues may be significantly reduced as compared with conventional methods carried out in a strong acidic solution since the present separation and extraction is conducted under a relative weak acid atmosphere in a pH range of 1.0 to 1.5.
