Disclosed is a method for extracting and recycling
scandium and
titanium from an acid leaching solution containing
scandium and
titanium. When the acid solution containing both
scandium and
titanium is processed, scandium is preferentially extracted by making full use of the features that the concentration of the acid leaching solution is relatively high, and the high acidity can restrain iron and titanium and improve the selectivity of organic phosphonic acid extracting agents to scandium, a residue rich in scandium is obtained by the use of a NaOH solution through back extraction, titanium is extracted by the use of amine extracting agents which are high in selectivity to titanium after scandium is extracted, titanium is processed by a NH4Cl-H2O2
mixed solution through back extraction, a back extraction solution concentrates and crystallizes, NH4Cl crystals are separated out, and a solution rich in titanium is obtained. By the adoption of the method, effective recycling of scandium and titanium is achieved, the problem that when scandium and titanium are extracted by the use of the organic phosphonic acid extracting agents and the amine extracting agents respectively under the usual conditions, due to the fact that iron, scandium and titanium are not separated thoroughly, the follow-up
separation process is tedious is solved, the process is short, the cost is low, comprehensive
recovery of low-concentration scandium and titanium in the acid leaching solution and
titanium dioxide production waste acid is achieved, and the method has the advantages of being simple in technological process, high in scandium and titanium
concentration ratio, thorough in separation and low in production cost, and free of
pollution.
