Embodiment 1

[0020] KTaO 3 , KNbO 3 The mixture is added with HF and H 2 SiF 6 In the mixed acid solution, the mixture of KTaO 3 and KNbO 3 The molar ratio is 1:1, the HF concentration in the mixed acid solution is 5mol / L, and the H 2 SiF 6 The amount used is 1.5 times of the theoretical amount, the liquid-solid ratio is 6.5:1, and it is stirred and decomposed at 80°C for 60 minutes. After the reaction is completed, the decomposed product is cooled to room temperature and filtered to obtain a clear liquid containing tantalum and niobium and an insoluble precipitate. The clear liquid containing tantalum and niobium can be directly sent to the current extraction and separation process of tantalum and niobium to complete the separation and purification of tantalum and niobium; the insoluble precipitate is washed with pure water, filtered, and dried at 30°C.

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for separating tantalum and niobium from potassiummetatantalate and partial potassium niobate mixture, which comprises breaking down potassiummetatantalate and partial potassium niobate mixture by hydrofluoric acid and fluorosilicic acid mixed solution, and filtering decomposition to obtain tantalum-niobium-containing solution and potassium fluosilicate crystal. The separation of tantalum and niobium is finished through antalum-niobium-containing solution entering into tantalum-niobium extraction separation procedure, and the potassium fluosilicate crystal is prepared into a valuable by-product through scouring, filtering and drying. The process solves the problem of the effective use of potassiummetatantalate and partial potassium niobate mixture which is obtained from KOH sub-molten salt of tantalum-niobium ore cleaning production technology, perfects technical process, and increases the usage of tantalum-niobium in tantalum-niobium ore nearly to 100%.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating tantalum and niobium, in particular to a method for dissolving potassium metatantalate (KTaO 3 ), potassium metaniobate (KNbO 3 ) mixture and separation of tantalum and niobium contained therein. Background technique [0002] Tantalum and niobium are rare and precious metals. At present, high-concentration HF acid (60-70%) or high-concentration HF-concentrated H is widely used in industry 2 SO 4 The mixed acid method decomposes tantalum-niobium ore. During the decomposition process, 6-7% of HF is volatilized in the form of exhaust gas. The high volatility and high toxicity of HF make the operating environment very harsh and cause air pollution; and every treatment One ton of tantalum-niobium ore will produce 10-15 tons of fluorine-containing residues, causing very serious environmental pollution. In addition, the niobium-tantalum ore widely distributed in my country is a low-grade refractory ore....
