Abstract

The invention discloses a method of separating lanthanum from rare earth nitrate slurry as well as a rare earth ore concentrate separation method. The rare earth nitrate slurry does not contain cerium and thorium. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing P503 alkane liquor with volume ratio of 30-50% as an extracting agent, and adjusting the pH of the slurry to 2-3; (2) by using sodium nitrate or lithium nitrate liquor as washing liquor, extracting to obtain lanthanum-containing raffinate and a praseodymium- and neodymium-containing organic phase; (3) carrying out countercurrent reverse extraction with sulfuric acid or / and nitric acid as a reverse extraction liquid to obtain a praseodymium and neodymium containing reverse extraction liquid; and (4) adding a rare earth precipitator into the lanthanum-containing raffinate, and roasting the precipitate to obtain lanthanum oxide. Meanwhile, the invention further discloses an extraction and separation method of rare earths in rare earth ore concentrates. One neutral extracting agent is used for extraction and separation of the rare earth ore concentrates, so that the economic pressure of production is relatively low without a transformation step of fully fishing and fully reversing. The neutral extracting agent is used, so that saponification is avoided, and thus the problem that discharge of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater does not reach the standard is eliminated from the source.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rare earth separation, and relates to a method for separating lanthanum from a rare earth nitrate feed solution and a method for separating rare earth concentrates. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for separating A method for lanthanum, more specifically, the present invention relates to a method for separating lanthanum from a rare earth nitrate liquid containing trivalent lanthanum, praseodymium and neodymium and a method for separating rare earth concentrate. Background technique [0002] Baotou rare earth mine is mainly composed of light rare earths, among which cerium accounts for about 50% of all rare earths. Other light rare earths lanthanum, praseodymium and neodymium account for about 50%, especially the content of lanthanum is nearly 26%. At present, the smelting method of Baotou rare earth mine is mainly high-temperature roasting of concentrated sulfuric acid. After the rare ea...
