Problems solved by technology

However, when the pure phosphorus extractant ion exchange resin adsorbs rare earth ions, a large amount of H will be exchanged. + , to resolve the rare earth ions with low extraction equilibrium acidity, resulting in a low amount of rare earth adsorbed by the resin and a decrease in the effective utilization rate of the extractant in the resin

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating rare earth elements. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparation of mixed resin, (2) column packing, (3) column separation, (4) column washing and (5) column cycling. The method has the advantages that the rare earth elements are separated by adopting an ion-exchange resin method, thus solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by saponification; the problem of low rare earth adsorption quantity caused by low extraction equilibrium acidity of rare earth ions is solved by applying the H<+1> adsorption capacity of N235 resin; the exchange acidity of an adsorption zone can be controlled by utilizing the acid absorption capacity of N235, so that resin has better light rare earth separating capacity; separation of the rare earth elements by adopting a fractional extraction-elution process is achieved by utilizing a mode of connecting a plurality of columns in series and a new method is provided for separation of the rare earth elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of separation of rare earth elements, in particular to a method for separating rare earth elements. Background technique [0002] Due to the similar electron layer structure and rare earth "lanthanide contraction" phenomenon of rare earth elements, the ionic radii of rare earth elements are similar, which determines the similarity of physical and chemical properties of rare earth elements, making the separation of rare earth elements difficult. There are many separation methods for rare earth elements, and the separation principle is to separate the rare earth elements by repeating the separation steps many times with the help of a certain extractant or precipitant, relying on the slight difference between the rare earth compounds. At present, the solvent extraction method is often used to separate rare earth elements, but the solvent extraction method uses ammonia soap or sodium soap, calcium soap, magnesiu...
