Abstract

The present invention belongs to a process for extracting and separating thorium from sulfo-phosphoric mixed acid and extracting rare earth chloride. Said process adopts primary amine added mixed alcohol as extracting agent, and makes direct fractionation of rare earth slurry to extract thorium, and the thorium content in the separated rare earth slurry is ThO2/REO is less than or equal to 5X10 to the minus sixth. Said invention utilizes the thorium being in organic phase and adopts countercurrent reextraction process by means of nitric acid to obtain thorium nitrate product, its purity is 99%, and thorium recovery is up to 99%. Said invention adopts magnesium oxide precipitation method to remove the iron and phosphorus in the rare earth reffinate, uses ammoniated P507-kerosene to extract organic phase.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to a process for extracting and separating thorium from sulfur-phosphorus mixed acid system and extracting rare earth chloride. Background technique: [0002] Chinese patent 98122348.6 discloses a process for extracting and separating cerium and thorium from bastnaesite leaching solution. This patent uses the organic phase composed of extractant TRPO-alkane to extract cerium (IV) by fractional distillation to obtain an organic phase containing cerium and a raffinate containing rare earth and thorium. CeO in organic phase 2 / REO is 99%~99.99%, ThO 2 / CeO 2 Less than 0.01%. The thorium in the raffinate is fractionated and extracted with 0.5%-10% primary amine RNH2-alkane and 1%-10% mixed alcohol as the organic phase to obtain the raffinate containing thorium-containing organic phase, rare earth and iron. Thorium is back-extracted with 0.5-3 mol / L nitric acid, and the recovery rate of thorium reaches 99%. The thorium-extractin...
