Summary: | An object is to provide a method and an apparatus for recovering indium, the method and apparatus ensuring that it is unnecessary to recover indium in the form of indium hydroxide, indium can be recovered at a high concentration, indium can be recovered easily by a filter or the like without handling inferiors and also, the recovery rate of indium is greatly improved. The method includes adding a precipitation-inducing metal including a metal having higher ionization tendency than indium to an etching waste solution containing at least indium and ferric chloride, in which the concentration of ferric chloride is adjusted to 20% by weight or less to thereby precipitate indium contained in the etching waste solution on the surface of the precipitation-inducing metal, then, detaching the indium precipitated on the precipitation-inducing metal from the precipitation-inducing metal by a detaching means and separating the detached solid indium or indium alloy from the solution to recover the indium. |
