The invention discloses a
rare earth smelting lead
slag treatment process based on
ferric trichloride regeneration cycle, which comprises the following steps: by taking associated
ferric iron in
rare earth smelting feed liquid as an initial oxidant source, obtaining a 0.6-0.8 mol / L
ferric chloride solution through N235 non-
saponification extraction-clear water reverse extraction; the method comprises the following steps: performing size mixing on lead
slag generated by vulcanizing and removing lead from
rare earth feed liquid by using the ferric
chloride solution, adding the ferric
chloride solution according to 2-3 times of the amount of
sulfide in the lead
slag, and oxidizing for 1-2 hours; after oxidation, supernate absorbs a rare earth
smelting byproduct
chlorine through a
spray tower,
ferrous chloride is regenerated into
ferric iron, and the
ferric iron is extracted, enriched and recycled through N235 to be used as an
oxidizing agent; leaching the oxidized lead slag with
hydrochloric acid to recover rare earth, adding 8-16 times by volume of water into the leached slag, heating to 90-110 DEG C by steam to dissolve
lead chloride, subsequently cooling and crystallizing or adding
calcium hydroxide to adjust the pH value to 7-9 to realize lead recycling, acidifying
mother liquor, and then returning to dissolve
lead chloride; according to the method, no additional oxidizing auxiliary material needs to be added,
hydrogen sulfide is prevented from being generated during acid leaching, the
chlorine treatment cost is reduced, and rare earth
recovery and lead product high value are synchronously achieved.
