Abstract

The invention provides an extraction separation method for heavy rare earth elements. The extraction separation method comprises the following steps: mixing rare earth concentrates with inorganic acid to obtain a raw material liquid; mixing an extraction agent with a thinning agent to obtain an organic phase; using the organic phase to extract rare earth elements in the raw material liquid, wherein the extraction agent is the mixture of alkyl phosphonic monoalkyl ester and dialkyl hypophosphorous acid. By taking the mixture of alkyl phosphonic monoalkyl ester and dialkyl hypophosphorous acid as the extraction agent, the selectivity for rare earth elements is high, and the extraction agent is combined with the inorganic acid and the thinning agent, so that the separation coefficient for the rare earth elements, particularly adjacent rear earth elements, are improved, and reverse extraction is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of extraction, in particular to an extraction and separation method of heavy rare earth elements. Background technique [0002] Rare earth elements refer to the lanthanide elements with atomic number 57-71 and yttrium with atomic number 39. Today, rare earth elements are widely used in luminescent materials, electronic communications, magnetic materials, metallurgy, ceramics and other fields. According to the atomic electron layer structure and physical and chemical properties of rare earth elements, as well as their symbiosis in minerals and different ionic radii that can produce different properties, the seventeen rare earth elements are usually divided into two groups: light rare earths and heavy rare earths. [0003] Heavy rare earths are called "super industrial monosodium glutamate", mainly including gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium and yttrium. Since the...
