The application discloses a method for removing
silicon from
yttrium lutetium silicate leaching solution, which comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing
yttrium lutetium silicate waste with flake alkali uniformly, then baking, adding hot water to stir and react, and filtering to obtain
rare earth hydroxide precipitate; then, washing the obtained
rare earth hydroxide precipitate with
sodium hydroxide solution for 2-3 times; then, placing the treated
rare earth hydroxide precipitate in a reaction container, adding a small amount of pure water to stir, heating to 70-90 DEG C under water bath condition, and then keeping constant temperature, then slowly adding
hydrochloric acid to dissolve the rare earth hydroxide precipitate to obtain a
mixed solution, filtering to remove
silicic acid
colloid to obtain rare earth leaching solution; then, using an extractant prepared from N235, isooctanol and
kerosene to extract the rare earth leaching solution to remove
impurity iron, then heating and concentrating to make
sodium chloride in the solution precipitate, filtering to remove the precipitated
sodium chloride, and finally obtaining pure
lutetium yttrium chloride solution. The application can effectively solve the problem that the content of
silicon impurities in the yttrium lutetium
silicate leaching solution is high and cannot be effectively removed.
