Gallium metal is a light and brittle silver-white metal. The metal also has a bluish tinge. Gallium is a trace element. Its content in the earth's crust is 19 grams per ton of rock. A large amount of this element is found in minerals such as tourmaline, garnet, sericite, feldspar, etc.

Gallium actively interacts with mineral acids. As a result of this interaction, a large amount of salt and hydrogen is released.

Based on gallium, metal adhesives are made. The composition of such a substance includes nickel or scandium. Adhesives are used in mechanical engineering, electronics. These lubricants are highly efficient and reliable.

Gallium is indispensable in the production of semiconductor lasers. Metal alloy is used in the production of high-frequency electronic components.

Gallium oxide is used to manufacture laser materials that are used in the production of medical and military-strategic equipment. Metal is used instead of mercury in thermometers. It is safe and ideal for measuring elevated temperatures.

Gallium is also used in the production of LEDs (blue, ultraviolet). The metal is indispensable for detectors that determine the content of neutrinos.

In medicine, gallium is used to make antibacterial agents. Metal contributes to the rapid healing of deep wounds, allows you to stop heavy bleeding, and inhibits bone loss in cancer patients.

The main thing

Material

The simple substance gallium is a soft, brittle metal of silver-white (according to other sources, light gray) color with a bluish tint.

View by manufacturing method

To obtain metal gallium, the rare mineral gallite CuGaS2 (mixed copper and gallium sulfide) is often used. Traces of it are constantly found with sphalerite, chalcopyrite and germanite. Much larger quantities (up to 1.5%) were found in the ash of some coals. However, the main source of gallium is the solutions of alumina production during the processing of bauxite (usually containing minor impurities (up to 0.1%)) and nepheline. Gallium can also be obtained by processing polymetallic ores and coal. It is extracted by electrolysis of alkaline liquids, which are an intermediate product of processing natural bauxite into technical alumina. The concentration of gallium in the alkaline aluminate solution after decomposition in the Bayer process: 100-150 mg/l, by sintering method: 50-65 mg/l. By these methods, gallium is separated from most of the aluminum by carbonization, concentrating in the last fraction of the sediment. Then the enriched sediment is treated with lime, gallium goes into solution, from where the rough metal is released by electrolysis. Contaminated gallium is washed with water, then filtered through porous plates and heated in a vacuum to remove volatile impurities.

Chemical composition

technically pure gallium must contain no more than 0.1% metallurgical impurities, the main of which are zinc, copper and lead
