It should be noted that, when not conflicting, the embodiment in the application and the feature in embodiment can combine mutually.Below with reference to the accompanying drawings and describe the present invention in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.
In the present invention, the Cerium aluminate lutetium scintillation crystal waste of mixing of indication obtains from the scintillation crystal of nuclear medicine, generally salic 20 ~ 40%, and oxidation-containing cerium 0.5 ~ 1%, remaining lutecium oxide is 60 ~ 80%.
A kind of method reclaiming lutecium oxide from the scintillation crystal waste of mixing Cerium aluminate lutetium of a kind of exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, comprises the following steps: S1, in scintillation crystal waste, add alkaline matter, roasting, obtains calcining matter; S2, calcining matter is carried out water logging, filter, and add nitric acid and oxygenant in the filter residue obtained, stir, obtain mixed solution; S3, will join in organic extractant in mixed solution, extraction, obtain the extract containing cerium and the raffinate containing lutetium; S4, to containing lutetium raffinate in add oxalic acid, stir, filter, by the throw out calcination obtained, obtain lutecium oxide.
By adding sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide also at high temperature roasting to mixing in Cerium aluminate lutetium scintillation crystal waste, the solid matter obtained is carried out dissolve, filtering separation thus eliminate impurity aluminum, filter residue to be dissolved after reoxidizing and the cerium that adulterates of extracting cerium ion remaval in acid condition, by the rear calcination of the precipitation of the raffinate containing lutetium obtained, obtain high-purity mangesium oxide lutetium.Technique provided by the present invention has the advantages such as flow process is short, facility investment is few, simple easy handling, obtain high purity 99% and the rate of recovery up to 99.5% high-purity mangesium oxide lutetium.Because the price comparison of Lutetium is expensive, the present invention reclaims lutetium to provide a kind of new approach from the scintillation crystal waste of mixing Cerium aluminate lutetium, has saved resource, has decreased pollution, had huge practical value.
In order to the metallic aluminium in waste material is fully separated from the scintillation crystal waste of mixing Cerium aluminate lutetium, the application selects to add sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide in step sl, roasting 0.5 ~ 2 hour at 320 DEG C ~ 700 DEG C, now sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide and mix Cerium aluminate lutetium generation chemical reaction, generate sodium aluminate and/or potassium aluminate, cerous hydroxide, hydroxide lutetium, by using water extraction calcining matter, sodium aluminate and/or potassium aluminate soluble in water, and cerous hydroxide and hydroxide lutetium water insoluble, through filtration just impurity aluminum can be separated.
In the sodium hydroxide wherein added in step S1 and/or the amount of potassium hydroxide and scintillation crystal waste, the mol ratio of contained oxide aggregate is 6:1 ~ 10:1.If both mol ratios are less than 6:1, the aluminium in scintillation crystal waste can be caused can not to be converted into sodium aluminate and/or potassium aluminate completely, make cerium contained in scintillation crystal waste and lutetium can not be converted into cerous hydroxide, hydroxide lutetium completely, so still have some scintillation crystal waste do not react and left behind, the purity of the lutecium oxide obtained and the rate of recovery are decreased; If both mol ratios are greater than 10:1, base excess can cause the solution basicity after calcining matter water logging and viscosity excessive, give completely filter and separating impurity aluminium affect, thus affect the purity of lutecium oxide product, in addition, also can increase raw materials cost, also can cause the erosion of equipment simultaneously.
In water logging process, preferably adopt hot water to carry out water logging.Consider that the fusing point of potassium hydroxide is higher than sodium hydroxide, and the cost ratio sodium hydroxide of potassium hydroxide is high, so the present invention preferably adopts the sodium hydroxide of low melting point and low cost to carry out roasting with the scintillation crystal waste of mixing Cerium aluminate lutetium, make the separation of impurity aluminum complete like this, the purity of the final product lutecium oxide obtained and yield is higher and cost is lower.Roasting at 320 DEG C ~ 700 DEG C is wherein selected within 0.5 ~ 2 hour, mainly to consider that the fusing point of sodium hydroxide is 318.4 DEG C, if maturing temperature is lower than 320 DEG C, then can there is sodium hydroxide and melt incomplete problem, thus cause sodium hydroxide and scintillation crystal waste fully to react, aluminium in scintillation crystal waste can not generate sodium aluminate completely, the degree of such separating impurity aluminium is thorough not, does not reach the object be fully separated; If maturing temperature is higher than 700 DEG C, then the sodium aluminate of generation can be made to resolve into aluminum oxide, thus also cannot reach the object of abundant separating impurity aluminium.
In the filter cake obtained, add nitric acid and oxygenant, a preferred embodiment of the invention after filtering, oxygenant is potassium bromate or potassium permanganate.The object adding nitric acid in this step is solution filter cake being dissolved as nitric acid system, and the object adding oxygenant is in order to by Ce contained in filter cake 3+exhaustive oxidation becomes Ce 4+, this is because under high acid environment, extraction agent such as TBP extraction agent only extracts quadrivalent cerium, and does not extract trivalent lutetium, thus reaches the object of cerium lutetium separation.In order to ensure the Ce in filter cake 3+exhaustive oxidation becomes Ce 4+, the oxygenant needs added are excessive a little, and according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, oxygenant is potassium bromate or potassium permanganate; The mol ratio of wherein contained in oxygenant and scintillation crystal waste cerium is 5:1 ~ 1:1.If the mol ratio of cerium contained in oxygenant and scintillation crystal waste is greater than 5:1, then makes oxygenant solute concentration in mixed solution increase and occur that viscosity of mixed liquid is excessive, cause phase-splitting bad and affect the degree that cerium impurity is separated; Reduce purity and the yield of the lutecium oxide finally obtained; If the mol ratio of contained cerium is less than 1:1 in oxygenant and scintillation crystal waste, then the trivalent cerium in mixed solution can not be oxidized to quadrivalent cerium completely, cerium impurity is separated thorough, can reduces the purity of product lutecium oxide equally.
Obtain mixed solution after adding nitric acid and oxygenant, a preferred embodiment of the invention, also comprise before carrying out organic extraction to mixed solution: in mixed solution, add concentrated nitric acid, the acidity of adjustment mixed solution is the step of 5 ~ 10N.The acidity of mixed solution being adjusted to the object that 5 ~ 10N carries out extracting is improve the acidity of mixed solution, contributes to the extracting and separating of cerium and lutetium; If the acidity of mixed solution is lower than 5N, then there will be a large amount of lutetiums and be extracted in organic phase, reduce the yield of product lutetium; If the acidity of mixed solution is higher than 10N, then there will be the phenomenon that viscosity of mixed liquid is excessive, acid mist is serious, cause phase-splitting bad and affect cerium impurity and be separated not exclusively, also can cause work under bad environment and then unhealthful.Therefore the present invention adjusts the acidity of mixed solution before preferably carrying out organic extraction to mixed solution is 5 ~ 10N, ensure that carrying out smoothly of follow-up organic extractions, can make extraction more fully and completely.
Preferably, organic extractant is selected from one or more mixed solutions in the mixed solution of the mixed solution of tributyl phosphate and whiteruss, tbp and kerosene, di (isooctyl) phosphate and the mixed solution of kerosene and the mixed solution of isooctyl phosphoric acid di-isooctyl and kerosene.Preferably but be not limited to above-mentioned organic extraction solvent, phase-splitting is fast, the advantage of easily back extraction to adopt above-mentioned organic extractant to have in the present invention.Oil phase after wherein adding organic extractant in mixed solution is 5:1 ~ 1:1 than O:A.When organic extractant is the mixed solution of tbp (TBP) and whiteruss, by volume percentages, TBP accounts for 10% ~ 60% of described mixed solution, and whiteruss accounts for 40% ~ 90% of mixed solution.By carrying out organic extraction to mixed solution, the Ce in mixed solution can be made 4+enter into organic extractant, lutetium ion is retained in raffinate, so just thoroughly removes mixing the cerium adulterated in Cerium aluminate lutetium scintillation crystal waste.
In order to make organic extractant can recycle, according to a kind of exemplary embodiment of the present invention, also comprise the process that the extract obtained in step S3 is stripped, comprise: in extract, add the ascorbic acid solution that mass percent concentration is 0.1 ~ 0.5%, stir back extraction 0.5 ~ 1 hour; And in the organic extractant after back extraction, add the salpeter solution that acidity is 3 ~ 8N, agitator treating.Quadrivalent cerium in extraction agent can be reduced into trivalent cerium by the ascorbic acid solution added, thus plays ceric object in back extraction extraction agent.The xitix that this place adopts is a kind of water-soluble vitamin c, and molecular formula is C 6h 8o 6, because ascorbic acid solution is easily by light and atmospheric oxidation, need now with the current.Wherein employing acidity is the organic extractant after the salpeter solution washing back extraction of 3 ~ 8N is to wash away xitix residual in organic extractant, not affecting the percentage extraction of cerium when ensureing that organic extractant recycles.
In order to obtain highly purified lutecium oxide, needing to add oxalic acid in raffinate and making that the lutetium element in raffinate is precipitated to get off.The add-on of oxalic acid, also can be excessive according to the lutetium element in raffinate being precipitated as benchmark completely.A preferred embodiment of the invention, also comprises before adding oxalic acid step in raffinate: carried out by raffinate evaporating, concentrating, and adjust the step of pH value to 1.5 ~ 2 of the concentrated solution obtained.Due to by Ce 3+be oxidized to Ce 4+process in add more concentrated nitric acid, part concentrated nitric acid remains in raffinate, and the stronger acidity that raffinate is presented, is unfavorable for that lutetium ion precipitates.By adding pH value to 1.5 ~ 2 of deionized water adjustment concentrated solution, by weakening the acidic conditions of raffinate, being conducive to lutetium ion precipitation, thus ensure that purity and the yield of the lutecium oxide product finally obtained.The throw out of the oxalic acid lutetium obtained after filtration is obtained lutecium oxide through 800 DEG C ~ 950 DEG C calcinations after 2 ~ 4 hours.
