Embodiment 1

[0064] After roasting 1Kg of Baotou mixed type rare earth concentrate (REO 50.4%) with sulfuric acid, it was leached and neutralized with an aqueous solution of magnesium bicarbonate (calculated as MgO) with a concentration of 2g / L, and the pH value of the control end point was 4.5. Impurities such as iron, phosphorus, and thorium were precipitated and removed, and solid-liquid separation obtained 48.9L of rare earth sulfate solution containing magnesium and leaching residue; the content of rare earth in the rare earth sulfate solution containing magnesium was 10.0g / L (calculated as REO), and the recovery rate of rare earth was 97.0%.

Embodiment 2

[0066] After roasting 1Kg of Baotou mixed type rare earth concentrate (REO 53.0%) with sulfuric acid, it was leached with a magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution (calculated as MgO) with a concentration of 18g / L and neutralized to remove impurities. The pH at the end point was controlled to be 4.3. Impurities such as iron, phosphorus, and thorium were precipitated and removed, and solid-liquid separation obtained 12.64L of magnesium-containing rare earth sulfate solution and leaching residue; the rare earth content in the magnesium-containing rare earth sulfate solution was 41.0g / L (calculated by REO), and the rare earth recovery rate was 97.5%.

Embodiment 3

[0068] Baotou mixed rare earth concentrate (REO 51.6%) is mixed with 93wt% concentrated sulfuric acid at a rate of 1t / h and fed into the rotary kiln. Use magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution with a concentration of 10g / L to leach and neutralize and remove impurities from the rare earth roasted ore acidified and roasted by sulfuric acid. 3 / h and leaching slag; the rare earth content in magnesium-containing rare earth sulfate solution is 34.5g / L (calculated by REO), the recovery rate of rare earth is 97.6%, impurity ions such as iron, phosphorus, thorium form precipitation and enter leaching slag.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for smelting and separating rare earth ores. Magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution is used to leach sulfuric acid roasted ore, neutralize and remove impurities, and separate solid and liquid to obtain magnesium-containing rare earth sulfate solution; use magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution to saponify P507 or P204 extraction transformation or magnesium bicarbonate precipitation transformation enrichment to obtain high concentration The mixed rare earth chloride solution is extracted and separated, and the magnesium bicarbonate aqueous solution is precipitated to recover the rare earth, and various rare earth compound products are obtained. The magnesium sulfate-containing wastewater generated in the above process is converted to alkali with cheap calcium and magnesium and other basic compounds, and then passed into the CO recovered from the smelting and separation process. 2 Carry out carbonization and purification to obtain an aqueous solution of magnesium bicarbonate, which is recycled for rare earth leaching, transformation, extraction separation and precipitation processes to achieve magnesium and CO 2 Recycling utilization, zero discharge of ammonia nitrogen and wastewater, and greatly reducing production costs, increasing the recovery rate of rare earths, and realizing green, efficient and clean production of rare earths.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of smelting and separating rare earth ores, in particular to a method for smelting and separating rare earth ores. Background technique [0002] At present, solvent extraction is generally used for rare earth smelting, separation and purification, but the rare earth smelting process has problems such as large amount of acid and alkali, high cost, and large amount of wastewater discharge. For example, Baotou mixed rare earth ore mainly adopts sulfuric acid roasting-water immersion-magnesia neutralization and impurity removal-extraction transformation or extraction separation process. The obtained rare earth sulfate solution needs to add a large amount of solid magnesia to neutralize the remaining acid and adjust the pH to remove impurities. Due to the high impurity content and slow solid reaction speed in light-burned magnesia, unreacted magnesia and its impurities form a large amount of waste residue; the hysteresis o...
