The invention relates to a new method for removing impurities from
leachate in a wet
metallurgy technology, in particular to a method for removing impurities from ionic rare-earth ore. The method comprises the following steps: A, preparing
leachate: dissolving a rare-earth leaching agent and an
impurity inhibitor
tartaric acid into water, completely mixing, stirring and dissolving to obtain the
leachate, wherein in the leachate, the
mass percentage concentration of the rare-earth leaching agent is 1 to 6 percent, the
mass percentage concentration of the
tartaric acid is 0.01 to 1.0 percent and the
mass ratio of the rare-earth leaching agent to the
tartaric acid is 2 to 100; and B, controlling the leaching process: performing
impurity-inhibiting leaching on the ionic rare-earth ore by using the prepared leachate, wherein the flow velocity of the leach is 0.5 to 10 ml / min, the
water content of the original ore is 0 to 20 mass percent, and the
liquid solid ratio is 0.6:(1-1.4):1. In the leachate subjected to
impurity-inhibiting leaching, the impurity
ion content is reduced by over 90 percent. The method has the advantages of low
energy consumption, low cost, safety and simplicity in operation and the like.
