Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing lanthanum-enriched rare earth chloride by using bastnaesite as a raw material. The method comprises the following steps of: mixing the bastnaesite and sodium hydroxide and then roasting, carrying out sodium hydroxide alkali conversion on the bastnaesite to remove fluorine, washing the bastnaesite subjected to alkali conversion with water, and carrying out hydrochloric acid optimum solution to obtain lanthanum-enriched rare earth chloride liquid. In the alkali conversion process, the ratio of NaOH to REO (Rare Earth Oxide) in the bastnaesite is (0.10-0.40):1, the alkali conversion is carried out at 300-600 DEG C, and then the bastnaesite subjected to the alkali conversion is washed with water 3-8 times of the bastnaesite by weight proportion. In the optimum solution process, the weight ratio of 31% of industrial hydrochloric acid by weight to the REO in the bastnaesite is (1-1.5):1. In the alkali conversion process, the fluorine in the enriched lanthanum is preferentially subjected to the alkali conversion to obtain lanthanum-enriched hydroxide which is dissolved with acid, acid-soluble lanthanum-enriched rare earth is dissolved in a solution, and cerium is reserved in slag with large amount of fluorine, therefore, the purpose of separating the cerium and non-cerium can be achieved easily. In the whole process, the step of solid-liquid separation is reduced, the consumption of auxiliary materials is lowered, the yield per unit of equipment and the yield of rare earth are improved, and the production process has less pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rare earth hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for preparing lanthanum-rich rare earth chloride from bastnaesite. Background technique [0002] Bastnaesite is a cerium fluorocarbonate mineral, the color is yellow to light reddish brown, the main chemical composition is CeFCO 3 , Associated quartz, calcite, apatite and bauxite in the concentrate. Soluble in dilute HCl, HNO 3 、H 2 SO 4 、H 3 PO 4 and other strong mineral acids. It is an important mineral raw material for extracting cerium group rare earth elements. Bastnaesite is the rare earth mineral resource with the largest reserves and the largest amount of mining and use in the world. At present, about 70% of rare earth raw materials are produced from bastnaesite. my country is a big rare earth country with very rich bastnaesite mineral resources, such as Inner Mongolia Baiyun Obo Rare Earth Mine, Sichuan Mianning Rare Earth ...
