The invention discloses a method for separating and recovering
fluorine from a waste acid solution, which comprises the following steps: S1, taking a solution to be treated, and adding an extracting agent for extraction to obtain an organic phase and a water phase; the extraction agent is an N235 extraction agent; and S2, adding a
cerium (III)
salt solution into the organic phase as a stripping agent, layering, and recovering
cerium fluoride precipitate in the stripping solution. According to the scheme,
cerium salt is adopted as a stripping agent, and
fluorine is separated out in a water-insoluble
cerium fluoride precipitation form by utilizing the strong coordination effect between Ce < 3 + > and F <->, so that
fluorine in an organic phase is directly converted into a high-purity
cerium fluoride product. The method breaks through the limitation that only fluorine is separated and direct recycling is difficult in a traditional reverse extraction process, and one-
step method recycling of fluorine is achieved. And the organic phase after reverse extraction can be directly regenerated and recycled, so that the medicament consumption is reduced, and the economical efficiency of the process is also improved.
