Phosphorus removal method in high-purity scandium oxide preparation process and high-purity scandium oxide after phosphorus removal
By washing with an ethanol-water solution before calcining scandium oxalate to remove phosphorus-containing extractant, the problem of low purity after calcination of scandium oxalate was solved, thus reducing the cost of preparing high-purity scandium oxide and treating waste liquid.

AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, it is difficult to remove the phosphorus-containing extractant entrained after scandium oxalate is calcined, which leads to a decrease in the purity of scandium oxide products and high waste liquid treatment costs.
Before calcining scandium oxalate, it is washed with an ethanol-water solution. Through multiple washes, the phosphorus-containing extractant on the surface of scandium oxalate is removed. Ethanol is volatile and can be recycled, reducing the cost of waste liquid treatment.
The preparation of high-purity scandium oxide with a total rare earth content of over 99% has been achieved, reducing waste liquid treatment costs and environmental burden, and improving scandium oxide recovery rate.
