Problems solved by technology

For example, the vacuum distillation method has relatively large limitations and is only used to purify metals with high vapor pressure near the melting point. Vacuum smelting and electron beam smelting methods have better purification effects, but the samples volatilize greatly during the smelting process and the recovery rate is low. Electromigration and The electrolytic refinin

The method comprises the steps that a rare earth metal gadolinium block serves as a first anode, a tungsten rod serves as a first cathode, the first cathode and the first anode are placed in an electric arc furnace, after the electric arc furnace is vacuumized for the first time, the furnace is filled with first plasma gas, and an electric arc is started, so that impurities in the rare earth metal gadolinium block are removed in a volatile form to obtain a rare earth metal gadolinium ingot with relatively high purity; a rare earth metal gadolinium ingot located in the electric arc furnace serves as a second anode, a tungsten rod located in the electric arc furnace serves as a second cathode, after the electric arc furnace is vacuumized for the second time, the furnace is filled with second plasma gas, the electric arc is started, products on the inner wall of the reaction cavity of the electric arc furnace are collected, and the gadolinium oxide nano material is obtained. The method is easy to operate, good in environment, good in purification effect, high in efficiency and high in product purity, and integration of metal purification and metal-based nano material preparation by the arc plasma method is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of rare earth metal nanomaterials, in particular to an integrated method for purifying rare earth metal gadolinium and preparing gadolinium oxide nanomaterials by an arc plasma method. Background technique [0002] Rare earths are valuable strategic resources and are widely used in the fields of cutting-edge technology and military industry. Rare earth elements were first discovered in minerals in Sweden, and materials containing rare earth elements are called rare earth materials. There are 17 kinds of rare earth elements in total, namely lanthanide (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium ( Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), and two others with very similar properties to the lanthanides Elements - Scandium (Sc) and Yttrium (Y). Rare earth elements have a sp...
