Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the traditional fractional crystallization method, the biggest deficiency in the example of complexing crystals with lanthanides and precipitated ions is that most of the precipitated ions form one component from La to Lu, and most precipitated ion systems have no more than two components.
In the phosphate fractional crystallization system, the separation ratio of adjacent elements is between 1.1 and 1.5. This value does not depend on the initial ratio of lanthanides. Lanthanides can be purified through multiple separations and dissolutions. The defect of this technology is that the separation ratio is low. The number of separations required is tedious, and the purification of lanthanides takes a long time, etc.

Abstract

The invention provides an environment-friendly, efficient and low-cost method for separating lanthanide series elements. The method comprises the following steps that crystals are generated by the lanthanide series elements and boric acid through a fusing hot method, and the crystals of the same structure are separated from crystal lotion or separation is achieved according to drifting in solvent due to the different densities of the crystals of the different structures. The separating method makes selective polymerization for different kinds of lanthanide series metal on the basis of the flexible ligand boric acid, the lanthanide series components are synthesized under the uniform reaction condition for the first time, the lanthanide series elements are divided into six different components, the crystal density is closely related to the crystal structure, the high separation ratio in the binary lanthanide series elements can be achieved, compared with traditional sub-step crystallization, multiple times of separation caused by the low separation ratio is avoided, and generation of a large amount of effluent is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an element separation method, in particular to a lanthanoid separation method. Background technique [0002] Lanthanides refer to the elements that fill up the 15 f-orbitals from No. 57 lanthanum to No. 71 lutetium in the periodic table of elements. Due to the contraction effect of lanthanides, the 3+ to Lu 3+ The ionic radius is reduced by less than 22%, and the adjacent lanthanide radius is only gap; chemically, all lanthanides are usually in the stable trivalent form Ln 3+ exist. This makes lanthanides often exist in the form of companions, and the separation and purification of single lanthanides in multi-component or binary components has always been a hot spot in the development of lanthanide separation technology. The separation of lanthanides mainly includes selective oxidation, selective reduction, fractional crystallization, ion exchange, solvent extraction and other methods. [0003] For some lanthanides that c...
