Abstract

The invention provides a method for smelting and separating uranium, thorium and rare earth from residual slag of processed monazite. The residual slag of processed monazite is used as the raw material. The method comprises the following steps of performing hydrochloric acid complete dissolving, performing dissolving liquid aging, performing liquid-solid separation, extracting uranium by an amineextraction agent and performing extracting and enriching, extracting thorium from an acidic phosphorus-containing extraction agent and performing wastewater treatment. A raffinate phase obtained afterthorium extraction is returned to a monazite hydrochloric acid optimum solubilizing procedure to recover a rare earth chloride mixture, after extraction and separation, a single uranium product and athorium product are obtained through precipitation, and the recovery rate of resources such as uranium, thorium and rare earth is greater than 95%; and most of process water in the production processis directly returned to a system for cyclic utilization, a small amount of wastewater is recycled back to the system after comprehensive treatment, and zero drainage of the wastewater is realized. Bythe adoption of the technical scheme, the flow is simple and flexible, and large-scale production is achieved easily; the chemical material consumption is low, valuable resources such as rare earth,uranium and thorium can be efficiently recovered, and the resource recovery rate is increased; and the comprehensive treatment and environmental-friendly, efficient and clean production of the monazite resources are guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of uranium, thorium and rare earth extraction, and in particular relates to a method for smelting and separating uranium, thorium and rare earth from monazite slag. Background technique [0002] Monazite is a phosphate mineral of rare earth and thorium uranium, and is one of the main minerals of rare earth metal ore. The monazite concentrate comprehensive smelting process includes five parts: alkali decomposition, phosphorus alkali recovery, rare earth recovery and impurity separation, uranium and thorium resource recovery, and wastewater treatment. During the smelting process of extracting rare earth and phosphorus from monazite concentrate, a large amount of excellent molten slag will be produced. [0003] Excellent slag contains U: 0.1%-2.0%, ThO2: 5%-20%, REO: 5%-20%, and undecomposed monazite, zircon, rutile and other useful minerals. Since the uranium resource has not been extracted and the thorium r...
