Abstract

The invention relates to a rare earth fluoride and a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out heat treatment on powder of scintillation crystal waste in a mixed atmosphere, and then cooling in a protective atmosphere to obtain the rare earth fluoride. The method is characterized by crushing and grinding the scintillation crystal waste into fine powder, performing washing and then, carrying out vacuum high-temperature drying to remove water and impurities; and carrying out high-temperature treatment to make silicon and oxygen elements in lutetium(yttrium)oxyorthosilicate converted into gaseous SiF4 and H2O, discharging the gaseous SiF4 and H2O, and absorbing the gaseous SiF4 and H2O by alkali liquor. The high-purity rare earth fluoride in the fluorination reaction furnace is taken out after being naturally cooled, can be used for preparing high-purity metal, fluorescent materials, special additives and other high-end materials, and can be used for preparing high-purity rare earth metal through a reduction method due to the fact that the impurity content and the oxygen content of the high-purity rare earth fluoride are extremely low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solid waste reuse, in particular to a rare earth fluoride and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Rare earth is known as the "gold" of industry. It has excellent optical, electromagnetic and other physical properties. It can form a variety of new materials with different properties and varieties with other materials. It is widely used in metallurgical machinery, petrochemical industry, light industry and agriculture, and electronic information. More than 40 industries in 13 fields, such as energy and environmental protection, national defense and military industry, and high-tech materials, are indispensable strategic materials for the transformation of traditional industries in various countries in the world today and the development of high-tech and cutting-edge national defense technologies. [0003] In recent years, lutetium-based compounds have aroused great interest due to the...
