Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting tantalum and niobium through low alkali decomposition of a tantalum-niobium ore. According to the method, a small amount of sodium hydroxide is used as a melting agent for roasting decomposition of the tantalum-niobium ore to allow tantalum and niobium to be converted into sodium metatantalate and sodium metaniobate; and then, under the condition of addition of a conversion agent, tantalum and niobium in a roasting product are extracted with diluted hydrofluoric acid at a low temperature so as to obtain ore pulp containing fluotantalic acid and fluoniobic acid. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of simple process flow, small consumption of alkali, low cost and capacity of realizing nearly 100% of a tantalum-niobium ore decomposition rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for decomposing tantalum-niobium ore, in particular to a method for extracting tantalum and niobium by decomposing tantalum-niobium ore with low alkali content. Background technique [0002] Tantalum and niobium are rare metals with high melting points, and they are widely used in electronics, steel and other industries, space navigation, computing technology and medicine. At present, domestic and foreign methods of processing tantalum-niobium ore mainly include hydrofluoric acid decomposition method and alkali fusion method. Hydrofluoric acid decomposition method is the main method used in industry at present. In the hydrofluoric acid decomposition method, high-concentration hydrofluoric acid or high-concentration hydrofluoric acid-sulfuric acid mixed acid is used to decompose tantalum-niobium minerals. During this process, 6-7% of hydrofluoric acid is volatilized in the form of waste gas, causing serious air pollut...
