Problems solved by technology

[0009] Through the methods described in the above literature, these methods do not pre-enrich or treat deep-sea sediments, and directly use hydrometallurgical leaching technology to directly extract rare earth elements, which will produce a large amount of waste acid and waste residue during the leaching process, which is harmful to the environment. Unfriendly, extracting rare earths from deep-sea sediments will bring environmental protection problems, and production costs, especially pollution control costs, will increase significantly

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting rare earth from deep-sea sediments, comprising the following steps: (1) carrying out desliming pretreatment on the deep-sea sediments; (2) subjecting the product after the desliming pretreatment to grinding and then flotation. Separation and separation to obtain flotation coarse concentrate; (3) leaching the flotation coarse concentrate to obtain leaching solution enriched with heavy rare earths and leaching slag containing light rare earths; (4) flotation after scrubbing the leaching slag Separation to obtain rare earth concentrate. The method of the invention has mild selection and smelting conditions, low energy consumption and high efficiency, reduces the discharge amount of waste liquid and residue, is environmentally friendly, and the dilute acid used in the leaching operation can be recycled and reused.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rare earths, in particular to a method for extracting rare earths from deep sea sediments. Background technique [0002] Rare earth is an important non-renewable natural resource, and its content in the earth's crust is not rare. The abundance of rare earth in the earth's crust is 200×10 -6 , higher than the abundance of gold, platinum, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, lead, zinc and other elements. About 250 rare earth minerals have been discovered, of which only 10 have mining value, such as bastnaesite and monazite. [0003] Rare earth elements have been used in metallurgy, machinery, petroleum and other traditional industries in the economy and society, such as spraying rare earth oxide CeO into molten steel 2 Powder can improve the strength and toughness of steel; adding an appropriate amount of La to the aluminum wire can significantly improve the electrical conductivity; La and Sm can accelerate the...
