Abstract

The invention provides a method for smelting and separating uranium, thorium and rare earth from monazite excellent slag, using monazite excellent slag as raw material, comprising the following steps: complete dissolution of hydrochloric acid, aging of solution solution, liquid-solid separation, and extraction of amine extractant Extraction and enrichment of uranium, extraction of thorium with acidic phosphorus-containing extractants, and wastewater treatment. The raffinate aqueous phase obtained after thorium extraction is returned to the monazite hydrochloric acid excellent dissolution process to recover the rare earth chloride mixture, and after extraction and separation, a single uranium product and thorium product are obtained through precipitation. The recovery rate of uranium, thorium, rare earth and other resources is greater than 95%. Production Most of the process water is directly returned to the system for recycling, and a small amount of waste water is returned to the system after comprehensive treatment to achieve zero discharge of waste water. The flow of the technical solution provided by the invention is simple and flexible, and it is easy to realize large-scale production. The consumption of chemical materials is low, and valuable resources such as rare earths, uranium and thorium can be recovered efficiently, and the recovery rate of resources can be improved. Ensure the comprehensive treatment of monazite resources is green and environmentally friendly, and efficient and clean production.

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...
