Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical technology, specifically to the field of element content determination, and particularly to a method for determining the sulfur element content in rare earth concentrates. Background Art

[0002] Rare earths have excellent magnetic, optical, and electrical properties that cannot be replaced, playing a huge role in improving material properties and increasing product varieties. They are widely used in fields such as metallurgy, military, petrochemical, glass ceramics, agriculture, and new materials. With the development of industrial technology and science and technology, new rare earth materials emerge in an endless stream, and the related detection requirements for rare earths are also continuously improving. The determination of sulfur elements in rare earth concentrates has important industrial, environmental, and quality control significance. In the prior art, there are mainly three methods for determining the sulfur element content. One is to directly determine using a carbon-sulfur analyzer, but it is for solid samples. Another is to use ion chromatography to determine sulfate ions. This method requires high-temperature calcination of the sample to convert sulfur elements into gas, then receiving with an aqueous solution and adding an oxidant to convert all sulfur oxides into sulfate ions, and measuring the sulfur element content based on the content of sulfate ions. The process is complex and the energy consumption cost is high. The third method is to use inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. This method is convenient and fast, but the accuracy of sulfur element determination needs to be improved.

[0003] CN101639443A discloses a method for quickly and accurately determining the sulfur element content in fluorite. By heating the fluorite sample in a mixed acid of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and perchloric acid until perchloric acid fumes are emitted and the volume of the solution is 0.5 - 1 mL, the fluorite sample is completely converted into easily soluble salts, then adding hydrochloric acid, heating until the salts are completely dissolved, cooling and making up the volume, and measuring the sulfur element content. This method does not pay attention to the influence of sulfur element valence on the measurement result.

[0004] CN106338551A discloses an analysis method for different forms of sulfur element content in a reforming catalyst, including feeding the reforming catalyst sample into a combustion furnace, fully burning in oxygen at 900 - 1200 °C, absorbing the gas generated by combustion with a strong oxidant solution to obtain an absorption solution, and measuring the sulfate ion content in the absorption solution by ion chromatography, and thus obtaining the total sulfur content in the reforming catalyst. However, this method requires calcination of the reforming catalyst at high temperature, with high energy consumption.

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, it is of great significance to develop a determination method that can accurately determine the sulfur element content in rare earth concentrates, with low cost and simple process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for determining the sulfur element content in rare earth concentrates. By using an acid solution in combination with a first oxidant and a second oxidant, the present invention fully dissolves and oxidizes rare earth concentrates, realizes the complete dissolution of sulfur elements in rare earth concentrates, and oxidizes all sulfur elements to the +6 valence state to match the +6 valence sulfur in the sulfur standard solution, avoiding test errors caused by differences in test signal responses of sulfur elements in different valence states and improving the accuracy of test results. The determination method provided by the present invention has high accuracy, is simple to operate, and realizes the full oxidation of sulfur elements without calcination, significantly reducing the determination cost.

[0007] To achieve the object of this invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0008] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a method for determining the sulfur element content in rare earth concentrates, and the determination method includes:

[0009] (1) Add an acid solution to rare earth concentrates to obtain a pretreatment solution;

[0010] (2) Add a first oxidant and a second oxidant to the pretreatment solution in sequence to obtain a test solution;

[0011] (3) Determine the sulfur element content in the test solution;

[0012] Both step (1) and step (2) are carried out under heating conditions.

[0013] By using an acid solution in combination with a first oxidant and a second oxidant, the present invention fully dissolves and oxidizes rare earth concentrates. Adding a first oxidant to the pretreatment solution further dissolves and oxidizes rare earth concentrates, and then adding a second oxidant realizes the complete dissolution of sulfur elements in rare earth concentrates and oxidizes all sulfur elements to the +6 valence state to match the +6 valence sulfur in the sulfur standard solution, avoiding inaccurate test results caused by differences in the atomization effects of sulfur in different valence states.

[0014] Preferably, before adding the acid solution to the rare earth concentrates in step (1), the rare earth concentrates are sequentially subjected to a first drying and a second drying, and the temperature of the first drying is lower than that of the second drying.

[0015] In the present invention, the purpose of the first drying of rare earth concentrates at a lower temperature is to slowly evaporate the moisture in rare earth concentrates without taking away sample components, and the second drying is carried out at a higher temperature to further dry the moisture, ensuring accurate weighing and further ensuring the accuracy of sulfur element content determination.

[0016] Preferably, the temperature of the first drying is 60°C - 80°C, for example, it can be 60°C, 62°C, 64°C, 66°C, 68°C, 70°C, 72°C, 74°C, 76°C, 78°C or 80°C, including but not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are equally applicable.

[0029] In the present invention, using hydrogen peroxide solution as the first oxidant can not only promote the conversion of sulfur in different valence states in the pretreatment solution to sulfur in +6 valence state, but also promote the dissolution of the insoluble rare earth concentrate, achieve the complete dissolution of the rare earth concentrate, and improve the accuracy of sulfur element content determination.

[0035] Preferably, before adding the first oxidant and the second oxidant to the pretreatment solution in step (2), it further includes evaporating the pretreatment solution obtained in step (1) to 15% - 50% of the original volume. For example, it can be 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% or 50%, including but not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are equally applicable.

[0082]

[0084] According to the measurement results of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, if the first oxidant peroxide is not used for oxidation but perchloric acid is directly added, the rare earth concentrate is not completely dissolved and sulfur elements are lost, resulting in a low measurement result.

[0085] According to the measurement results of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4, if the second oxidant perchloric acid is not added for further oxidation after the oxidation by the first oxidant peroxide, the measurement result is low because the valence state of sulfur elements cannot be completely oxidized to the +6 valence state.
