The invention relates to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for recycling
scandium oxide from
scandium slag,
scandium oxide and application of the
scandium oxide. According to the method, the scandium residues obtained from MHP are subjected to acid leaching, then pass through an N1923 extraction section, then pass through a P350 extraction section and then pass through an N235 extraction section, and finally a
scandium chloride solution is subjected to scandium
precipitation treatment and
roasting, so that high-purity
scandium oxide is obtained. The method has the advantages that an alkali reverse flow required by a scandium-containing loaded organic phase is avoided, the whole extraction section can be performed in an extraction tank without filtering operation, the
automation degree is high, the continuity is good, the flow is short, and the acid consumption is greatly reduced, meanwhile, the amine extraction agent N1923 is firstly used and has strong selectivity on scandium, and when the amine extraction agent N1923 is used for separating most impurities in the first extraction section, the scandium content is greatly reduced; the temperature required by extraction and reverse extraction is lower than the temperature required by an acidic
phosphine extraction agent, so that aging and deterioration of an organic phase are avoided, the
stage number of the reverse extraction stage is greatly reduced, and the production cost is remarkably reduced.
