The invention relates to an efficient extraction method for high-purity
lanthanum oxide. The efficient extraction method comprises the following steps of (1) extraction: mixing a
lanthanum oxide feedliquid with an extraction agent at a volume ratio of 1:(2.5-3.5) for extraction separation, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion for 10-15 min, and carrying out separation after standing, wherein the extraction agent comprises the following raw materials including, by volume, 20%-24% of P507, 10%-15% of 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-
dithiol and the balance
kerosene; (2) back extraction: carrying out back extraction on an
oxalic acid solution with the organic-
phase volume being 3.0-4.0 times at 50-60 DEG C, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion for 20-30 min, carrying out
precipitation, and carrying out
filtration to obtain a precipitate; and (3) oxidation: carrying out burning oxidation on the obtained precipitate at 800-900 DEG C for 12-15 h so as to obtain
lanthanum oxide. According to the efficientextraction method provided by the invention, a specific amount of 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-
dithiol is added into an extraction
system; through cooperation between the 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-
dithiol and the P507, the hydrophobicity of a lanthanum extraction complex can be higher; and accordingly, the entry into an organic phase can be easier, and the extraction efficiency and the distribution ratio canbe improved.
