It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example: Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an extraction production equipment for rare earth production includes a first Jinyu reactor 1 and a third Jinyu reactor 5. The first Jinyu reactor 1 is provided with a first filter phase separator 2, a second Jinyu reactor 3 and a second filter phase separator 4 in sequence on the right side thereof, and the third Jinyu reactor 5 is provided with a third filter phase separator 6, a fourth Jinyu reactor 7 and a fourth filter phase separator 8 in sequence on the right side thereof;

[0025] The outlet of the first filter phase separator 2 is connected to the inlet of the third Jin Yu reactor 5 through a delivery pipeline, and the outlet of the fourth filter phase separator 8 is connected to the inlet of the second Jin Yu reactor 3 through a delivery pipeline, and a pump is installed on the delivery pipeline.

[0026] The top surfaces of the first Jinyu reactor 1, the second Jinyu reactor 3, the third Jinyu reactor 5 and the fourth Jinyu reactor 7 are provided with two inlets, and the bottom surfaces are provided with an outlet.

[0027] The first filter phase separator 2, the second filter phase separator 4, the third filter phase separator 6 and the fourth filter phase separator 8 are provided with an inlet on the top surface and two outlets on the bottom surface.

[0028] The outlet of the first Jin Yu reactor 1 is connected to the inlet of the first filter phase separator 2 through a conveying pipe, one of the outlets of the first filter phase separator 2 is connected to one of the inlets of the second Jin Yu reactor 3 through a conveying pipe, the outlet of the second Jin Yu reactor 3 is connected to the inlet of the second filter phase separator 4 through a conveying pipe, and a pump is installed on the conveying pipe.

[0029] The outlet of the third Jin Yu reactor 5 is connected to the inlet of the third filter phase separator 6 through a conveying pipe, one of the outlets of the third filter phase separator 6 is connected to one of the inlets of the fourth Jin Yu reactor 7 through a conveying pipe, the outlet of the fourth Jin Yu reactor 7 is connected to the inlet of the fourth filter phase separator 8 through a conveying pipe, and a pump is installed on the conveying pipe.

[0030] The outlet of the second filtering phase separator 4 is connected to the first Jinyu reactor 1 through a delivery pipeline, and a pump is installed on the delivery pipeline.

[0031] Another inlet of the first Jinyu reactor 1 is connected to the water extract, another outlet of the second Jinyu reactor 3 is connected to the P204 extractant, and another inlet of the third Jinyu reactor 5 and the fourth Jinyu reactor 7 are both connected to hydrochloric acid.

[0032] Working principle: This kind of extraction production equipment for rare earth production, the upper tube in each Jinyu reactor cavity is narrowed and sleeved in the lower tube, the water extract and the P204 extractant enter the first Jinyu reactor 1 at the same time, the water extract and the P204 extractant enter the Jinyu reactor cavity and mix at the channel interface, after the mixing is completed, flow out from the lower outlet and then enter the first filter phase separator 2 through the delivery pipeline and pump for phase separation, the products are rare earth-containing water phase and rare earth-containing organic phase;

[0033] The filter phase separator adopts a support rod float design, which uses the different densities of different liquids to produce stratification. Due to the different densities, the material containing the rare earth organic phase flows out from the upper port of the filter phase separator, and the material containing the rare earth aqueous phase flows out from the lower port of the first filter phase separator, thereby achieving the purpose of liquid separation. At the outlet of each filter phase separator, a liquid outlet plug is provided, and the float is suspended between the upper and lower liquids, so that after the liquid is discharged, it moves up and down with the stratification of the liquid surface, further controlling the position of the liquid outlet plug;

[0034] The rare earth-containing aqueous phase enters the second Jinyu reactor 3 through a delivery pipeline, and a P204 extractant is added to the second Jinyu reactor 3. The rare earth-containing aqueous phase material flowing out from the lower outlet of the first filter phase separator 2 then enters the second Jinyu reactor 3 and is mixed and extracted again with the P204 extractant, and the rare earth elements that have not been completely extracted in the aqueous phase are further extracted into the organic phase;

[0035] After phase separation through the second filter phase separator 4, the wastewater is discharged and subsequently neutralized. The rare earth-containing organic phase enters the first Jinyu reactor 1 again to supplement the organic phase and is extracted again. The wastewater flows out from the lower port of the second filter phase separator 4. This process uses the Jinyu reactor and the filter phase separator to produce rare earth-containing organic phase materials, which has the advantages of high extraction efficiency, low power consumption and small footprint;

[0036] The rare earth-containing organic phase enters the third Jinyu reactor 5 through a conveying pipeline and is fully mixed. Hydrochloric acid is added to the third Jinyu reactor 5, and then enters the third filtering phase separator 6 for liquid separation. The product is rare earth chloride and a small amount of rare earth-containing organic phase. The rare earth organic phase that has not been extracted enters the fourth Jinyu reactor 7, and hydrochloric acid is added thereto for mixing. After mixing, it is passed into the fourth filtering phase separator 8. Rare earth chloride flows out from the lower port of the fourth filtering phase separator 8, and the organic phase flows out from the upper port of the fourth filtering phase separator 8 to supplement the front-end extractant, thereby realizing the recycling of the extractant. The rare earth chloride after two strippings enters the next process. This process uses the Jinyu reactor and the filtering phase separator to produce rare earth chloride. Both processes use the Jinyu reactor and the filtering phase separator to realize the continuous production of rare earth chloride, which has the advantages of low production cost, high degree of automation, simple operation, high extraction efficiency, low power consumption, and small footprint.
