[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 11The present invention provides a technical solution: a rare earth recovery device in rare earth wastewater, comprising a first reactor 1, a first shaking filter mechanism 8, a second reactor 6, a second shaking filter mechanism 9, an ion exchange box 7 and a third reactor 10, the first reactor 1, the first shaking filter mechanism 8, the second reactor 6, the second shaking filter mechanism 9 and the ion exchange box 7 are all connected by pipes, and a supporting sliding assembly 5 is provided on the lower surface of the base.

[0051] The specific practical method is: introduce the rare earth wastewater into the first reactor 1, and add sodium carbonate solution to the first reactor 1, after reaction and precipitation, introduce the wastewater into the first shaking filter mechanism 8, after shaking, precipitation and filtration, introduce the wastewater into the second reactor 6, and add oxalic acid to the second reactor 6, after reaction and precipitation again, introduce the wastewater into the second shaking filter mechanism 9, after secondary shaking, precipitation and filtration, introduce the wastewater into the ion exchange box 7, and exchange with the cation exchange resin in the ion exchange box 7 (the commonly used cation exchange resin is sulfonic acid cation exchange resin, which has an active group with ion exchange capacity-SO3H. The active group has exchange capacity because it has an anion group fixed on the resin skeleton and a free cation, which can be combined with the cation in the solution. The active groups are hydrophilic, and the dry resin swells when it meets water. At this time, the active groups will produce a unique dissociation into anions fixed on the resin and free cations. That is, SO3H. When the swollen cation exchange resin contacts the electrolyte solution, the active groups are ionized, and the free cations exchange with the cations in the solution. The technology should be relatively mature, so I won’t go into details here) to exchange the free rare earth ions. The filtered wastewater can meet the discharge standard of industrial wastewater. The rare earth slag filtered out by the first shaking filter mechanism 8, the second shaking filter mechanism 9 and the ion exchange box 7 is placed in the third reactor 10, and hydrochloric acid is added to filter to obtain a leachate.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown, the sedimentation assembly 4 includes a sedimentation box 400 fixed on the base, the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is set to an inclined state, the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is respectively fixedly installed with an overflow plate 401 and a baffle plate 402, the two sides of the sedimentation box 400 are respectively connected with a discharge pipe 403 and an overflow pipe 404, the transmission pipe 304 is located between the overflow plate 401 and the baffle plate 402, the inclination angle of the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is 15-30 degrees, the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is set to have one end high and the other end low, the overflow plate 401 is installed at the higher end of the inner bottom wall, the baffle plate 402 is installed at the lower end, and the overflow pipe 404 is arranged at a side close to the overflow plate 401.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is set at an inclination angle of 15-30 degrees. In the process of increasing wastewater, the precipitated material will flow to the lower place with the inclination angle, and then accumulate at the lowest point. The overflow plate 401 is set to separate the water that is initially precipitated and the wastewater that is about to be discharged to avoid mixing of rare earth elements. At the same time, the baffle plate 402 is set to prevent the wastewater on one side of the baffle plate 402 from being affected by the impact of the water flow discharged from the transmission pipe 304 during secondary precipitation, thereby avoiding the backflow of elements after secondary precipitation. The threaded rod 407 and the baffle 406 are matched. When the threaded rod 407 rotates, the fit degree between the gate plate 405 and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 403 and the opening degree between the discharge pipe 403 and the gate plate 405 can be adjusted to facilitate the operation of the staff. At the same time, a rubber strip is embedded on the surface of the gate plate 405 to increase the sealing effect between the gate plate 405 and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 403.

[0057] Furthermore, a plate groove is provided on the discharge pipe 403 for the gate plate 405 to pass through, and the inner wall of the plate groove is slidably connected to the surface of the gate plate 405. The bottom and both sides of the gate plate 405 are inlaid with rubber strips, and the side of the rubber strip away from the gate plate 405 is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge pipe 403.

[0058] Specifically, Fig. 9 As shown, the supporting sliding assembly 5 includes a slide rail 500 installed on both sides of the bottom of the base, the bottom wall of the slide groove of the slide rail 500 is rotatably connected with a support roller 501 through a rotating shaft, a receiving plate 502 is arranged above the slide rail 500, and sliding blocks 503 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the receiving plate 502. The sliding block 503 is slidably connected to the slide groove in the slide rail 500, and the surface of the support roller 501 is rollingly connected to the lower surface of the sliding block 503. One side of the slide rail 500 is fixedly installed There is a magnet ring 504, and an insertion rod 505 is inserted inside the magnet ring 504. A positioning iron plate 506 is fixedly installed on one end of the insertion rod 505, and a pull ring is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning iron plate 506. One end of the insertion rod 505 passes through one of the slide rails 500 and extends into the slide groove of the slide rail 500. The end of the insertion rod 505 located inside the slide groove is plugged into one side of one of the sliding blocks 503, and the outer sides of the four sliding blocks 503 are provided with plugging holes for the insertion of the insertion rod 505.

[0060] When it is necessary to recycle the rare earth elements in the rare earth wastewater, first check whether the bottom of the baffle plate 306 is in contact with the upper surface of the mesh plate 302, then tighten the bolt 307, and tighten the threaded rod 407 at the same time, so that the gate plate 405 at the bottom of the baffle plate 406 is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge pipe 403. After the preparation work is completed, the wastewater to be filtered and recycled is introduced into the interior of the filter box 300, and the motor 201 is controlled to work, and the motor 201 drives the cam 202 to rotate, and the cam 202 hits the lower surface of the slide plate 204, so that the shaking rod 205 on the slide plate 204 drives the filter box 300 to move. 00 shakes, and at the same time, the mesh plate 302 filters the wastewater. The rare earth slag that settles first is filtered by the mesh plate 302 and remains on the mesh plate 302. At the same time, during the shaking process of the mesh plate 302, the mesh holes of the mesh plate 302 can also be kept from being completely blocked by the rare earth slag. The filtered wastewater passes through the mesh plate 302 and enters the interior of the filter box 300, and then flows to the interior of the sedimentation box 400 through the transmission pipe 304. Since the transmission pipe 304 is set as an inclined pipe with an arc, the impact force of the wastewater when it flows into the sedimentation box 400 is small. The inner bottom wall of the sedimentation box 400 is set in an inclined state. 0 increases, when the liquid level exceeds the height of the overflow plate 401, due to the sedimentation effect, the rare earth elements sink in the wastewater, and the upper clear liquid after sedimentation (there will still be rare earths in the wastewater after the first shaking sedimentation, and a small amount of rare earths will exist in the upper clear liquid in the form of ions after the second shaking sedimentation) is located in the upper layer of the sedimentation tank 400, and the wastewater exceeding the top of the overflow plate 401 enters one side of the overflow plate 401 and then settles again. When the liquid level exceeds the height of the nozzle of the overflow pipe 404, the liquid is discharged through the overflow pipe 404. At the same time, due to the set sedimentation tank 40 0 The inner bottom wall is in an inclined state. After sedimentation, part of the wastewater containing rare earth elements remains between the baffle plate 402 and the overflow plate 401, and the other part overflows the top of the baffle plate 402 and enters the side of the baffle plate 402 and the inner wall of the sedimentation box 400 for re-sedimentation. When the wastewater filtration is completed, the control motor 201 stops working, and at the same time, a small amount of wastewater containing rare earth elements between the baffle plate 402 and the overflow plate 401 and between the overflow plate 401 and the inner wall of the sedimentation box 400 is slowly pumped to between the baffle plate 402 and the inner wall of the sedimentation box 400 by a pumping pipe, and then the device is left to stand;

[0061] When the rare earth elements in the precipitation box 400 are precipitated, the rod 505 on the positioning iron plate 506 is pulled so that one end of the rod 505 is flush with one side of the inner wall of the slide groove, and then the sliding block 503 on the receiving plate 502 is inserted into the slide groove of the slide rail 500. When the sliding block 503 on the receiving plate 502 is pushed into place, the rod 505 on the positioning iron plate 506 is pushed into the inside of the slide groove so that the rod 505 is plugged into one side of the sliding block 503. At the same time, the magnet ring 504 is magnetically adsorbed with the positioning iron plate 506. Loosen the threaded rod 407 to separate the gate plate 405 on the baffle plate 406 from the discharge pipe 403, then put the wastewater containing rare earth elements in the sedimentation box 400 into the receiving plate 502, then loosen the bolt 307, then pull the baffle plate 306 upward, and then tighten the bolt 307 to position the baffle plate 306, and then clean out the materials containing rare earth elements filtered on the mesh plate 302 (the cleaned rare earth residue is introduced into the third reactor 10), thereby completing the shaking, sedimentation and filtering operations.

[0062] Specifically, the first reactor 1, the second reactor 6 and the third reactor 10 have the same structure. The first reactor 1 includes a reaction box 11. A feeding port 12 is provided at the upper end of the reaction box 11. A stirring motor 13 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the reaction box 11. The output end of the stirring motor 13 extends to the interior of the reaction box 11 and is fixedly installed with a stirring rod 14.

[0063] By providing the stirring motor 13 and the stirring rod 14, the acidic substance added into the reactor can be quickly integrated with the rare earth wastewater, thereby accelerating the acid leaching process and improving the treatment efficiency.

[0064] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
