This invention provides a method for preparing
scandium hydroxyl
oxide using an acidic
scandium-containing solution. The method includes the following steps: subjecting the acidic
scandium-containing solution to a first-stage alkaline
precipitation with a first alkaline precipitant to obtain a first-stage alkaline precipitate; subjecting the first-stage alkaline precipitate to a second alkaline precipitant and
solid-liquid separation to obtain a second-stage alkaline precipitate and a second-stage alkaline precipitate product; subjecting the second-stage alkaline precipitate to a third-stage alkaline
precipitation, aging, and
solid-liquid separation with a third alkaline precipitant to obtain scandium hydroxyl
oxide; and washing the obtained scandium hydroxyl
oxide to obtain final low-
impurity scandium hydroxyl oxide. The method of this invention can directly prepare scandium hydroxyl oxide using an acidic scandium-containing solution. Compared with the preparation of other scandium intermediates, it avoids the formation of soluble scandium salts and difficult-to-filter scandium
hydroxide, thus directly preparing scandium intermediates with excellent
filtration performance and easy
processing, ensuring a very high scandium
recovery rate, and shortening the production process of scandium intermediates.
