Problems solved by technology

[0009] In order to solve the problem of ammonia nitrogen wastewater produced by saponification in the existing extraction system, the present invention provides a non-saponification rare earth extraction and separation process
Use the compound solvent of P507 or P204 acidic phosphine extractant and amine extractant such as N235 as a composite extractant. This extractant can directly extract and separate rare earths without saponification, thus solving the problem of using ammonia saponification at the source. And the problem of producing a large amount of...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy chemical engineering and relates to a novel non-saponification rare earth extraction separation process by using a composite type extracting agent. According to the non-saponification rare earth extraction separation process, a composite solvent which is formed by mixing a P507 or P204 acidic phosphorous extracting agent and an amine extracting agent such as an N235 amine extracting agent is used as the composite type extracting agent, and the extracting agent is not required to be saponified and can be directly used for extracting rare earth, so that the problem that a large amount of ammonia containing waste water is generated during an extraction process due to the fact that ammonia is used for saponifying the extracting agent is thoroughly solved, simultaneously, the usage of ammonia alkali and acid is greatly reduced, and production costs are reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy and chemical engineering, and relates to a new process for the non-saponification extraction and separation of rare earths with a composite extractant. That is, the rare earth solution after the acid-dissolved rare earth ore is used as the material liquid, and the mixed solvent of a certain ratio of acidic phosphine extractant and basic amine extractant is used as the organic phase, without the need for saponification to directly extract and separate the rare earth. Background technique [0002] At present, my country's rare earth separation enterprises mainly use solvent extraction to separate rare earth elements. The extraction agent mainly uses P507, P204, etc. The extraction systems include P507-hydrochloric acid system, P507-nitric acid system and P204-sulfuric acid system. P204 and P507 are both acidic phosphine extractants and are weakly acidic. They are often dimer molecules (HA) in non-polar solvent...
