Problems solved by technology

[0002] Rare earth extraction and separation using P 507 ,P 204 , naphthenic acid, etc. as the extraction agent, the saponification agent uses ammonia water, ammonium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and the saponified extraction agent enters the rare earth saponification section of the extraction and separation process to produce ammonium chloride , sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride waste water, the salt content in these waste water is relatively low, recovering salt needs to evaporate a large amount of water to crystallize, energy consumption is high, investment is big, (patent: CN200910138821.0) waste water produced by saponification Directly use the evaporation concentration method to increase the concentration of sodium chloride in the wastewater, and then enter the electrolysis section to prepare hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. This method directly consumes a lot of energy by evaporation and concentration. (Patent: CN200610057908.1) The wastewater produced after saponification contains a certain amount of acid , the wastewater needs to be neutralized with alkaline compounds, and then the wastewater is returned to the extraction system. This method requires a large amount of wastewater to be neutralized, and the operation is cumbersome

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing saponifier by directly recycling saponification wastewater produced by the extraction and separation of rare earth, which belongs to the field of rare earth hydrometallurgy. In the invention, the saponification wastewater produced by the extraction and separation of the rare earth is directly recycled to prepare the saponifier; the saponification wastewater is recycled according to different ammonium chloride or sodium chloride contents of the wastewater and the characteristics of contained trace rare earth elements as well as the requirements for extraction and separation purity of the rare earth; the saponification wastewater is recycled, which reduces the discharge of wastewater, reduces the using amount of pure water, improves the ammonium chloride or sodium chloride contents of the wastewater, reduces the energy consumption on concentrating, crystallizing and recycling ammonium chloride or sodium chloride, improves the rare earth yield, and lowers the organic consumption.
