Problems solved by technology

The problem with this process is that the resource utilization rate is low, only the rare earth concentrate and iron concentrate are recovered, and the recovery rate still needs to be improved. The recovery rate of rare earth is about 70%, and the recovery rate of iron is only about 20%; and, Failure to recover more valuable elements
The problem with this method is that the mineral properties change after roasting, the flotation of niobium is difficult, and the grade and recovery rate of rare earth and niobium are low, resulting in waste of resources
In addition, a variety of collectors are used in this method, which on the one hand causes high cost and on the other hand makes waste liquid treatment difficult
[0006] To sum up, the methods currently used to treat rare earth tailings cannot achieve a good recovery effect, that is, they cannot recover valuable elements such as iron, rare earth, niobium, and scandium separately.

Abstract

The invention discloses a treatment method for rare earth tailings. The treatment method comprises the following steps that firstly, pretreated rare earth tailings and calcium chloride containing inorganic matter are mixed, a mixed material is obtained, the mixed material is roasted at 480-750 DEG C, roasted smoke and roasted slag are obtained, the roasted smoke is cooled, and a niobium chloride containing product is obtained; secondly, the roasted slag is leached through water, then, solid-liquid separation is conducted, and a rare earth chloride solution and water leaching slag are obtained;thirdly, the water leaching slag is subjected to primary ore grinding and primary magnetic separation, roughing iron concentrates and roughing tailings are obtained, the roughing iron concentrates are subjected to secondary ore grinding and secondary magnetic separation, and finely-selected iron concentrates and finely-selected tailings are obtained; and fourthly, the roughing tailings and the finely-selected tailings are mixed, mixed tailings are obtained, the mixed tailings are leached through hydrochloric acid, then, solid-liquid separation is conducted, and a scandium chloride containingproduct is obtained, wherein the calcium chloride containing inorganic matter comprises calcium chloride, calcium oxide and blind coal. By means of the treatment method, respective recycling of iron,rare earth, niobium and scandium can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a treatment method for rare earth tailings, in particular to a treatment method for Baiyan Obo rare earth tailings. Background technique [0002] With the massive development and utilization of mineral resources, rare earth tailings, as a secondary resource, have received more and more attention from all over the world. Baiyan Obo rare earth tailings are tailings produced after iron, rare earth and fluorspar are selected. The tailings contain a large amount of iron and are associated with available resources such as rare earth, niobium and scandium. Due to the complex mineral composition of the tailings, the dispersion of useful minerals, the extremely fine particle size, and the long-term soaking in wastewater and surface differentiation, the surface properties of the ore have undergone serious changes, which restricts the development and utilization of valuable resources in the Baiyan Obo rare earth tailings. The composition...
