Embodiment 1

[0058] Take 500 kg of rare earth ore and sulfuric acid and mix them according to the weight ratio of 1:0.8, and then continuously add them into the roasting unit 10 (multi-layer furnace) to obtain the rare earth roasted ore. The firing temperatures of each layer in the multilayer furnace are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention provides an extraction device and method for rare earth ore. The extraction device comprises a roasting unit. The roasting unit is provided with a sulfuric acid inlet and a rare earth ore inlet and is a multi-layer furnace. The rare earth ore is fluorocarbon cerium rare earth ore and / or mixed rare earth ore. By the adoption of the above extraction device, the roasting process of the rare earth ore can be conducted at the low temperature, decomposition of a large amount of sulfuric acid can be better restrained by roasting the rare earth ore at the low temperature, and therefore the mixing probability of sulfur and fluoride in smoke is reduced, and accordingly the tail gas treatment cost is reduced. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the rare earth ore is roasted at the low temperature, the yield of pyrophosphate in rare earth roasted ore generated after roasting can be reduced, accordingly, the content of the pyrophosphate can be better reduced, the yield of solid slag generated in the rare earth ore extraction process can be better reduced, and the utilization rate of the thorium element is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of rare earth metallurgy, in particular to a rare earth ore extraction device and extraction method. Background technique [0002] China is a big country of rare earths, and more than 80% of the rare earths are mixed rare earth ores and bastnaesites. The extraction method of the above-mentioned rare earth ores is mainly the high-temperature sulfuric acid roasting method, that is, the rare earth ores are roasted at high temperature in a sulfuric acid environment, and then various rare earth products are prepared through leaching, purification and impurity removal processes. There are some problems in this production method: (1) The temperature needs to be set above 600°C during high-temperature roasting, which will lead to the rapid decomposition of sulfuric acid to form flue gas, and the sulfur and fluoride in the flue gas are mixed and difficult to handle, and the treatment of tail gas higher cost. (2) Roasting at ...
