Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of element recovery, and relates to an adsorption material, in particular to a rare earth selective adsorption material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rare earth is called the vitamin of industry, and plays a vital role in smelting, chemical industry, high-tech industry and military industry. A large amount of high-salt wastewater containing low-concentration rare earth elements is usually generated in the process of rare earth mineral development, rare earth material processing and recovery. The wastewater often contains a large amount of salt, mainly chlorides. Since rare earth elements have high economic value, if the low-concentration rare earth in the wastewater is not recovered, not only resources will be wasted, but also environmental pollution will be caused. At present, the methods for recovering rare earth elements mainly include solvent extraction, liquid membrane separation, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. These methods are suitable for recovering high-concentration rare earth metal ions under conditions with less salt interference, and have the disadvantages of high cost and low efficiency.

[0003] CN104294063A discloses a method for recovering rare earth from low-concentration rare earth solution. The method uses acidic phosphorus extractants with PKa values greater than 4 and less than 3.5 for multiple extractions in sequence to obtain a high-concentration chlorinated rare earth solution. The method can effectively enrich low-concentration rare earth elements, but the process steps are complicated and multiple types of organic reagents are used.

[0004] CN105861831A discloses a method for recovering rare earth from rare earth salt solution by precipitation. The method uses a calcium-magnesium alkaline compound to mix with an ammonium-containing solution for a precipitation reaction, precipitates the rare earth elements, and then performs solid-liquid separation to obtain a rare earth precipitate. The method uses a chemical reaction to precipitate and enrich rare earth elements, which inevitably introduces chemicals and generates a precipitate waste liquid.

[0005] Activated carbon is an inorganic adsorption material with a large specific surface area, multiple types of surface functional groups and low cost. The adsorption of metals by activated carbon is mainly physical adsorption, which has the advantages of simple process, no introduction of chemicals and no waste generation.

[0006] CN111203182A discloses a modified activated carbon for adsorbing phenol and a preparation method and application thereof. The method modifies the activated carbon by sequentially using an oxidizing agent for oxidation and microwave irradiation, and the obtained modified activated carbon can adsorb phenol in cigarette smoke.

[0007] CN102513061A discloses a modified activated carbon and a preparation method and application thereof. The method performs oxidation, ammoniation and methylation treatment on the surface of the activated carbon to obtain the modified activated carbon, which can be used for adsorbing perchlorate in drinking water.

[0008] In the prior art, there is little research on the process method for selective adsorption of rare earth elements. In addition, in a high-salt solution system, the adsorption effect of conventional adsorption materials on low-concentration elements in high-salt wastewater is significantly reduced due to the influence of coexisting ions.
