    AnnotationThe method of germanium and silicon regeneration from waste germanium lenses and photovoltaic cells was successfully verified. Preparation of magnesium germanide, magnesium silicide and their mixtures in an optimized semi-opened reactor was investigated in details. Obtained products were characterized by dispersive Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDX and XRD, which confirmed high conversion, homogeneity and crystallinity of prepared products. The measured data, together with data obtained from literature, served as input parameters for a mathematical model. Subsequent hydrolysis of prepared products to obtain germanium and silicon hydrides was observed by FTIR and by GC/MS. Successful separation of hydrolysis products to individual hydrides was also performed. Magnesium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate, a desired fertilizer, and the only byproduct of the whole process, was crystalized out from hydrolysis residue with the purity of over 95 %.
