Problems solved by technology

The extractants used in the above extraction and separation are all organic extractants, which require extraction and separation at low acidity. The extraction capacity (distribution ratio) is inversely proportional to the equilibrium acidity of the water phase. Generally, to extract a rare earth ion, three hydrogen ions need to be replaced into the water phase. Therefore, inorganic bases such as ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and ammonium bicarbonate must be used to saponify the extractant first, remove hydrogen ions (see reaction formula 1), and then exchange and extract with rare earth ions (see reaction formula 2), it can be seen that , in the extraction process, not only is the cost increased due to the consumption of a large amount of ammonium, but also a large amount of ammonia nitrogen wastewater is produced, causing serious pollution to water resources. This is a major problem in the rare earth separation industry at present. The ammonia nitrogen wastewater has a low concentration , recycling is difficult, and the recycling cost is high

Abstract

A process for saponifying the organic extractant used for separating RE includes such steps as mixing the extractant with RE carbonate in RE solution or acidic solution, ion exchange reaction between RE ions and H ions of extractant, binding H ions with radical of carbonic acid to generate CO2 and H2O for gradually dissolving RE, extracting RE ions into organic phase, and reusing the residual liquid after supplementing RE solution or acid solution. Its advantages are no environmental pollution and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a saponification method of an organic phase. Specifically, rare earth carbonate is used to saponify the organic extractant, and the organic extractant for rare earth separation is reacted with rare earth carbonate in a rare earth solution or acidic solution, so that the rare earth ion is exchanged with the hydrogen ion in the extractant, and the hydrogen ion is replaced by water. The phase combines with carbonate ions to generate carbon dioxide and water, so that the rare earth ions are gradually dissolved and extracted into the organic phase, and an extractant containing a certain concentration of rare earth is obtained for rare earth extraction and separation. Background technique [0002] At present, the separation and purification of a single rare earth element in industry generally adopts solvent extraction. The most commonly used processes are: saponification of P507, P204, C272 and other extractants to extract and separa...
