Rare earth metal siphoning device and method for rare earth electrolytic cell

Abstract

The invention discloses a rare earth metal siphoning device and method for a rare earth electrolytic cell. The device comprises a siphon casting ladle and vacuum equipment used for providing a vacuumenvironment for the siphon casting ladle, the siphon casting ladle comprises a ladle body, a siphon, weighing equipment and a casting mold, one end of the siphon is in communication with the ladle body, the other end of the siphon is used for extending into the rare earth electrolytic cell to siphon rare earth metal, the weighing equipment and the casting mold are both arranged in the ladle body,and the casting mold is arranged on the weighing equipment. Due to the fact that a weight sensor is installed below the siphon casting ladle, accurate siphon metal siphoning can be achieved accordingto the cell condition, the technical problem that a traditional rare earth siphon device can only roughly control the metal siphoning amount through an observation hole is solved, heat balance of theelectrolytic cell can be effectively adjusted through the metal siphoning amount, and when the cell temperature is too high or too low, the heat dissipation condition of an electrolytic cell system can be changed through the metal siphoning amount, and stable operation of the electrolytic cell is kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The application belongs to the technical field of rare earth electrolysis, and in particular relates to a device and method for siphoning rare earth metals in a rare earth electrolytic cell. Background technique [0002] The extraction of rare earth metals is an important process in the production process of rare earth electrolysis. At present, the main way for rare earth metals to come out of the furnace is to manually use a spoon to scoop out the rare earth metals from the container at the bottom of the electrolytic tank, and then pour them into a casting mold to cast them into ingots. This method takes a long time to bake, the labor intensity of the operator is high, and the dependence on skilled workers is large, so it cannot realize automatic production. [0003] In recent years, the method of extracting rare earth metals using the principle of siphon has appeared, but the existing siphon device has the problems of equipment failure, surface oxid...

Problems solved by technology

This method takes a long time to bake, the labor intensity of the operator is high, and the dependence on skilled workers is large, so it is impossible to realize automatic production

[0003] In recent years, the method of extracting rare earth metals using the principle of siphon has appeared, but the existing siphon device has the problems of equipment failure, surface oxidation of rare earth metal after ingot casting, and the purity of the extracted rare earth metal after casting ingot is not high enough. This makes the rare earth metals out of the furnace slow and inefficient
