Abstract

The invention discloses a method for removing aluminum from rare earth material solution by organic acid complexation and solid-phase adsorption, which includes such steps as chelating reaction between citrate radical and aluminum ions in the rare earth material solution, adsorbing aluminum citrate by utilizing porous characteristics of porous polyethylene styrene resin and activated carbon, fixing aluminum ions on the surface of an adsorbent, and removing aluminum from the rare earth material solution. The removal rate of aluminum ions is 80% or above and the loss rate of rare earth is no more than 5%. Compared with other existing technologies, the existing method has low requirements on equipment, is easy to operate, and avoids the problem that aluminum hydroxide flocculent precipitationis difficult to filter, and the existing adsorbent material can be recycled, thus reducing the production cost. The invention provides an extremely effective, economical and practical way for removing aluminum from the rare earth material solution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for absorbing and removing aluminum from a rare earth feed solution by utilizing the solid-phase porous characteristics through organic acid complexation reaction aluminum, and belongs to the technical fields of hydrometallurgy, chemistry, materials and the like. Background technique [0002] Rare earth is an important strategic resource and is widely used in modern industry. There are many types of rare earth ores, and there are abundant ion-adsorption rare earth ores in the south of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, and Fujian. The main feature is that the content of radioactive elements is low. Because of its high content of medium and heavy rare earths, it has received extensive attention at home and abroad. The rare earths in the rare earth mines in the south are mainly adsorbed on the surface of clay minerals in the form of ions, and there are differences in the particle size, rare earth grade, and impurity content of ...
