Abstract

The invention discloses a method for selectively separating tantalum and niobium step by step based on floating extraction. The method comprises the following steps of adding hydrofluoric acid to a solution containing tantalum and niobium to convert tantalum and niobium in the solution into fluorotantalate and fluoroniobate; adding a floating extraction agent and a bubble dispersant to the solution and introducing air to form microbubbles, promoting the hydrophobic mineralization of bubbles to form fluorine tantalum/niobate-floating extraction agent-bubble microdroplets, and finally enrichingtantalum and niobium components by floating extraction; adding a pH adjuster and a niobium stripping agent to the tantalum-niobium-enriched component to obtain niobium liquid after stripping; and thenadding a pH adjuster and a tantalum stripping agent to a stripping raffinate and stripping to obtain a tantalum solution. The method has good selective separation effect on tantalum and niobium, simple process flow and low operation cost, effectively overcomes the shortcomings of multi-stage solvent extraction and stripping, and is particularly suitable for deep separation of tantalum and niobium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for selectively separating tantalum and niobium in steps based on floating extraction. Background technique [0002] Tantalum and niobium are rarely distributed in the earth's crust. As important rare and precious metals, they have the characteristics of high melting point, good plasticity, and stable chemical properties. They are widely used in electronics, atomic energy, aerospace, medicine, steel, and hard alloys. Tantalum and niobium are located in the 5th and 6th periods of group VB of the periodic table, and are typical similar elements. They often coexist in niobite, pyrochlore and other minerals in nature. Due to the similar chemical properties of tantalum and niobium, the atomic radius is almost the same, so it is very difficult to separate tantalum and niobium. At present, the commonly used methods for the separation of dissolved tantalum a...
