Abstract

The invention discloses an extraction separation method of a rare earth element. The method comprises the steps of adopting an acid-alkaline composite extraction agent for separating the rare earth element, during the extraction process, extracting a water phase of an intermediate stage of an extraction section, after extracting and separating through an alkaline extraction agent, returning to theextraction section, and continuously extracting; and introducing a water phase discharged from a washing section into the intermediate stage of the extraction section, extracting, and returning waterwashing liquid discharged by a water washing section to the water washing section, the washing section and the extraction section so as to be used or used for preparing acid for dissolving rare earthore. According to the extraction separation method of the rare earth element provided by the invention, the cyclic utilization of the acid-alkaline composite extraction agent is realized, water and acid are recycled, the extraction capacity of the acid-alkaline composite extraction agent is improved, and the rare earth extraction separation cost is remarkably reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rare earth element separation method, in particular to a method for extracting and separating rare earth elements by using an acidic-alkaline composite extractant. Background technique [0002] Rare earth elements have unique electronic structures and optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. The development and utilization of rare earth resources is of great significance for promoting the development of my country's economy. Rare earth ore is the main rare earth resource. During the smelting process of rare earth ore, the separation of rare earth elements from the leachate of rare earth ore is an important step. The commonly used separation method of rare earth elements is solvent extraction. The rare earth industry in my country mostly uses acidic phosphorus-type extractant P507 or P204 as the main extractant to separate rare earth elements. [0003] The traditional rare earth separation method using di(2-ethylhexyl)p...
