Problems solved by technology

However, if the content of silicon and aluminum is too high during the extraction process, it will lead to emulsification and the formation of the third phase. Therefore, it is often necessary to remove impurities from the scandium-containing filtrate before the scandium extraction process to ensure the integrity of the subsequent extraction process. went smoothly

Embodiment 1

[0034] After red mud is successively subjected to sodium salt reduction roasting-magnetic separation, phosphoric acid leaching, and sodium hydroxide alkali leaching, red mud rich scandium slag (obtained by the method of patent CN105331837A) is obtained, and its composition is shown in Table 1. Compared with the raw red mud ore without any treatment, it can be seen that after the above pretreatment, the scandium content of red mud is well enriched, and its content is increased by nearly 4.5 times, and the recovery rate is as high as 87%. The impurity elements such as iron, aluminum, silicon, etc., which have a great influence on the extraction process, have been effectively removed. The main components in scandium slag are calcium and titanium, whose contents are as high as 25.73% and 28.15%, respectively. Therefore, the key to the subsequent extraction of scandium is to effectively separate scandium from impurities such as calcium and titanium.

Embodiment 2

[0039] The red mud scandium-rich slag in Example 1 was subjected to normal pressure acid leaching, and different acid leaching agents were used for leaching. Other conditions were controlled to be the same, the liquid-solid ratio was 15:1 mL / g, the leaching temperature was 40 ° C, the leaching time was 60 min, and the stirring Speed ​​350r / min; after leaching, filter immediately.

[0043]

[0044]It can be seen from the above table that under the action of different acid leaching agents, the leaching rate of scandium has little difference, but other components such as iron, aluminum, silicon, calcium, titanium, etc. have obvious behavior differences. In the leaching of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, the filtration performance of the solution is poor, but under the action of hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, the filtration performance of the...

Embodiment 3

[0052] Carry out solvent extraction to the scandium-containing acid leaching solution after the above-mentioned red mud rich scandium residue acid leaching filtration, adopt the P20 of 2% volume (kerosene is a thinner) as extraction agent, and the volume ratio of aqueous phase and organic phase is 3:1, Phosphoric acid was used to control the pH of the aqueous phase to 1.6-1.8, shake for 15 minutes and then stand, and separate the organic phase and the aqueous phase after layering. Analyze the concentration of each component in the organic phase, calculate the extraction rate (η) of scandium, and the separation coefficient (β) of scandium and other impurity components.

[0053] It can be seen from Table 5 that in the phosphoric acid medium, the extraction rate of scandium can reach 98.6%, and the separation coefficients of scandium and iron, aluminum and calcium are 2592.7, 230.0 and 27.3, respectively, indicating that in the phosphoric acid medium, it is beneficial to realize t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting scandium from scandium-rich slag obtained from red mud pretreatment and belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous Metallurgy. Solid waste red mud produced in the aluminium oxide producing process utilizing bauxite is subjected to pretreatment such as deironing, desilicication and aluminum removing, and then the scandium-rich slag with high scandium and few impurities is obtained. Scandium in the scandium-rich slag is extracted through an acidleaching-extraction method. Phosphoric acid serves as a leaching agent, and leaching of scandium and separating between scandium and other impurities can be achieved effectively; solvent extraction is conducted on acid leaching filtrate with scandium; and an organic phosphonic acid extraction agent P204 is adopted, phosphoric acid is selected to serve as an acid medium of the extraction process, effective extraction of scandium and further separation between scandium and other impurities are achieved, and favorable conditions are created for later refined extraction and purification of scandium. According to the method for extracting scandium from the scandium-rich slag obtained from red mud pretreatment, the technique is simple, recovery rate of scandium is high, introduced impurity is few, emulsification does not occur, and application in large-scale industrial production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting scandium from scandium-rich slag obtained by red mud pretreatment, and belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous metallurgy. Background technique [0002] Scandium is a rare earth element widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, electric light source and other fields. Scandium oxide is mainly used in high-efficiency multi-function lasers, solid electrolytes, special ceramics, etc. Various master alloys of scandium such as aluminum and magnesium-based master alloys are special alloys for the production of missiles and various spacecraft, automobiles, ships, etc., while the metal scandium Mainly used in optical engineering, such as the production of large halogen lamps and solar batteries. [0003] Scandium, as a rare and scattered element, is often dispersed in various minerals, and it is extremely difficult to directly recover it. At present, red mud is the main raw material source ...
