Abstract

The process of separating RE elements from calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate is to wash mineral with the mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and citric acid to leach out calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate while limiting the leaching of RE elements and other matters. The solution containing calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate is alkalized to produce precipitate and recover calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate product; and the small amount of RE elements are recovered with P204 or P507 extractant. The said process has calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate leaching rate not lower than 95 wt%, RE element leaching rate not higher than 10 wt% and total RE element yield not lower than 97 wt%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and relates to a method for extracting rare earth elements from rare earth minerals, in particular to a mixed type rare earth mineral and a phosphorite containing monazite decomposed by calcium oxide and monazite and bastnaesite. A method for separating rare earth elements from calcium fluorophosphate, calcium chlorophosphate and calcium phosphate in a mixed rare earth mineral in which monazite and bastnaesite are symbiotic. Background technique [0002] Monazite and mixed rare earth minerals in which monazite and bastnaesite coexist are important rare earth resources. Because rare earth elements exist in minerals in the form of phosphate or phosphate and fluorocarbonate coexistence, which makes decomposition more difficult. Therefore, the current industrial production method for extracting rare earth elements from such minerals is only high-temperature sulfuric acid. There are two kinds of r...
