The invention provides a method for
smelting and separating
uranium,
thorium and
rare earth from residual
slag of processed
monazite. The residual
slag of processed
monazite is used as the
raw material. The method comprises the following steps of performing
hydrochloric acid complete dissolving, performing dissolving liquid aging, performing liquid-
solid separation, extracting
uranium by an amineextraction agent and performing extracting and enriching, extracting
thorium from an acidic
phosphorus-containing extraction agent and performing
wastewater treatment. A
raffinate phase obtained afterthorium extraction is returned to a
monazite hydrochloric acid optimum solubilizing procedure to recover a
rare earth chloride mixture, after extraction and separation, a single
uranium product and athorium product are obtained through
precipitation, and the
recovery rate of resources such as uranium,
thorium and
rare earth is greater than 95%; and most of process water in the production processis directly returned to a
system for cyclic utilization, a small amount of
wastewater is recycled back to the
system after comprehensive treatment, and zero drainage of the
wastewater is realized. Bythe adoption of the technical scheme, the flow is simple and flexible, and large-scale production is achieved easily; the chemical
material consumption is low, valuable resources such as rare earth,uranium and thorium can be efficiently recovered, and the
resource recovery rate is increased; and the comprehensive treatment and environmental-friendly, efficient and clean production of the monazite resources are guaranteed.
