Problems solved by technology

However, this method can still only separate light, medium, and recombined rare earth elements in groups according to the principle of "quadrate effect", and cannot separate adjacent rare earth element pairs in the same group.
In addition, the phase formation behavior of the three-phase system is difficult to control, and the reaction conditions (such as equilibrium water phase acidity or salt concentration, etc.) need to be strictly controlled to avoid miscibility between the hydrophobic ionic liquid and the polymer two-phase system, otherwise no Stable three-layer liquid phase coexistence system, unable to achieve three-phase separation of rare earth ions
[0008] At present, most of the published reports on the liquid-liquid-liquid three-phase extraction and separation of rare earth elements focus on the group separation of rare earth element ions, and there are no related reports on the separation of the same group of adjacent rare earth elements with similar properties. In the separation of praseodymium and neodymium

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating praseodymium and neodymium through a liquid-liquid-liquid three-phase external push-pull system. Inorganic nitrate is added into a mixed aqueous solution containing praseodymium and neodymium ions, the pH value of the mixed aqueous solution is adjusted to 1-4, then water-soluble room temperature hydrophilic ionic liquid is added, mixing is carried out, and an upper and lower two-layer liquid phase coexisted ionic liquid aqueous two-phase system is obtained; and an alkane solution containing an organic phosphorus extracting agent is added, mixingis carried out, and an upper, middle and lower three-layer liquid phase coexisted three-liquid phase system is obtained. Uppermost-layer organic phase extracting praseodymium and neodymium ions havethe positive order complexing effect, the middle-layer ionic liquid phase extracting praseodymium and neodymium ions have the inverted order complexing effect, and the two parts form the external push-pull system. In the finally-obtained three-liquid phase coexisted system, praseodymium ions are enriched in an ionic liquid middle phase, and neodymium ions are enriched in an organic upper phase, sothat praseodymium and neodymium push-pull extraction separation is achieved. The method is wide in application range, can simultaneously extract and separate the praseodymium and neodymium ions, andis high in praseodymium and neodymium seperating coefficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solvent extraction and separation of rare earth elements, in particular to a method for separating praseodymium and neodymium by a liquid-liquid-liquid three-phase external push-pull system. Background technique [0002] Praseodymium and neodymium are the most difficult pair of adjacent rare earth elements in the light rare earth group. Due to the extremely similar chemical properties of the two, it is very difficult to extract and separate praseodymium and neodymium using the traditional oil / water two-liquid phase system. In the actual production process, it is often necessary to combine various methods such as solvent extraction, ion exchange, and chromatographic separation to obtain a single high-purity praseodymium and neodymium product. The process is complicated and the cost is high. [0003] Most of the publicly reported methods for solvent extraction and separation of praseodymium and neodymium s...
