example 1

[0027] Dilute P204 (commercially available) extractant with 260# sulfonated kerosene (commercially available) to an organic phase containing P204=1.5±0.2mol / L. The rare earth chloride solution prepared from monazite ore contains a total concentration of rare earth elements REO=280±20g / L, and the distribution of rare earth elements is the difference between the mass of each rare earth element and the mass of total rare earth element oxides REO in terms of oxides. The percentage ratio is: La 2 o 3 / REO=25%; CeO 2 = 51%; Pr 6 o 11 = 6.5%; Nd 2 o 3= 15.5%; medium and heavy rare earths (calculated as oxides) = 2%. Add citric acid to the solution to prepare a rare earth aqueous solution containing 0.23 ± 0.02mol / L citric acid and pH = 0.5-1, fill the prepared organic phase and rare earth aqueous solution at a volume ratio of 1:1 into the extraction tank, and LaCePrNd is separated from medium and heavy rare earths by fractional distillation extraction. The fractional distillat...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for complexing, extracting and separating the rare earth element with an acid phosphate extraction agent; the point is that rare earth chloride solution is added with citric acid or salt citrate to form rare earth chloride-hydrochloric acid-citric acid mixing solution as the water phase and the P204 or P205 acid phosphate extraction agent for extraction and separation; diluted coal oil is taken as the organic phase for extraction and separation; the rare earth element is separated through processes of extraction, washing and reverse extraction in an extraction groove; the extraction residual liquid which contains the citric acid is returned for recycling. The invention is characterized in that with the complexion action of the citric acid and the rare earth element, the separation effect of the acid phosphate extraction agent on the rare earth element is enhanced and especially the rare earth element in the high-consistency rare earth solution, the REO of which equals to 200 to 300g / l can be separated; at the same time, the acid phosphate extraction agent also has comparatively high capability and effect for extracting the rare earth element without saponification process. The invention needs a small amount of investment and the production cost is low; moreover, according to the method, the environmental pollution is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting and separating rare earth elements with an acidic phosphorus-type extractant, in particular to a method for separating a single or several groups of rare-earth elements from a chloride solution containing multiple rare-earth elements by complex extraction with an acidic phosphorus-type extractant. Background technique [0002] Rare earth elements are the general term for lanthanum and lanthanide elements, scandium and yttrium elements in the periodic table of elements. These elements have special physical and chemical properties. In the fields of metallurgy, petrochemical industry, glass ceramics and various functional materials, one or several elements are often selected as additives and necessary components. [0003] Rare earth elements coexist in natural minerals. The rare earth elements in bastnaesite, monazite and mixed rare earth minerals of bastnaesite and monazite are mainly lanthanum, cerium, p...
