Problems solved by technology

However, production practice shows that because naphthenic acid is a by-product in petroleum, its composition is complex and its water solubility is large. After long-term use, the composition of the extractant will change, and due to the high pKa value, it is necessary to extract rare earths at a high pH value. , so it is easy to produce emulsification phenomenon

Abstract

A process for preparing scandium by using oxyl substituted acetic acid as extractant includes adding the said extractant, additive (alcohol mixture) and saponifier chosen from ammonia water, sodium hydroxide, dicarbonate and sodium carbonate to the Sc-contained rare-earth mixture liquid, extracting by 4-10 stages, washing with HCl or HNO3 by 2-8 stages, fraction distilling and mixing for 5-15 min, clarifying at 10-35 deg.C for 10-50 min to obtain Sc-enriched rare-earth, extracting by 5-15 stages and washing by 4-10 stages. Its advantages are high purity (99.99-99.999 wt.%) and high output rate (more than 90%).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a class of hydrometallurgical rare earth metal separation technology, in particular to a technology for enriching and preparing high-purity scandium from scandium-containing rare earth by substituting acetic acid with alkoxide as an extraction agent. Background technique [0002] The excellent properties of scandium make it widely used in electric light source, aerospace, electronics industry, nuclear technology, superconducting technology and other important fields. However, due to the high chemical activity of scandium, it is difficult to produce high-purity metals. Therefore, although Nilson discovered scandium as early as 1879, it was not until 1937 that Fisher used molten salt electrolysis to produce metals with a purity of 95%. Scandium, and metal scandium with a purity of 99.9% was produced by Spedding in 1973. The process of enriching, separating and extracting high-purity scandium from raw materials with complex compo...
