The invention relates to the technical field of
rare earth hydrometallurgy and
rare earth smelting separation, in particular to a
rare earth feed liquid defluorination process based on neutralized
carbonate adsorption synergistic circulation. The process comprises the following steps: S1, pH
neutralization adjustment: adding an alkaline substance into a
fluorine-containing rare earth solution to carry out a
neutralization reaction, and adjusting the pH of the
system to a weakly acidic range; s2,
carbonate defluorination treatment: adding a rare earth
carbonate compound into the
fluorine-containing rare earth solution, and carrying out defluorination treatment to obtain a treated
mixed solution; s3,
solid-liquid separation: carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the treated mixed liquid to obtain low-
fluorine rare earth purified liquid and
solid-phase defluorination residues; s4, circulating defluorination: using the solid-phase defluorination
slag as a defluorination material to be used in a new round of defluorination treatment of the fluorine-containing rare earth solution; and S5, rare earth
recovery: carrying out
acid dissolution and
precipitation treatment on the solid-phase defluorination
slag which achieves adsorption saturation after recycling to obtain a pure rare earth solution.
Rare earth is efficiently recycled and returned to the main production process, and the comprehensive
utilization rate of resources is increased.
