Zhang et al. [18] used HCl and MnO 2 to extract Ge from fly ash obtained via vacuum reduction with a 92 % recovery rate. The direct Ge extraction from lignite using chlorinated distillation is uneconomical because of its dispersed distribution in coal [19]. Thus, an economical pre-enrichment of Ge is crucial before chlorinated distillation.
The germanium is mainly extracted from fly ash of lignite burn, zinc smelter residues, germanium-bearing waste electrical and electronic equipment, etc [8], [9]. Since germanium used in the world industry largely depends on GRL, the rational development of GRL is an important guarantee for the safe supply of germanium [10], [11], [12].
