A kind of preparation method of cerium hydroxide and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to preparation method and system ultra-pure, superelevation total amount cerium hydroxide, belong to rare earth rawThe hydrometallurgy field of producing.
Background technology
Cerium hydroxide is a kind of important raw material of industry, as colour television flourescent screen additive, and canChange toughness, intensity and other optical properties of fluorescent glass, can also be for the preparation of ammonium ceric nitrate, withAnd other numerous purposes.
International market has proposed more and more higher requirement to the quality of cerium hydroxide, for example: rare earth is pureDegree>99.99%, non-rare earth impurity is general<10ppm, CL-<10ppm,SO4 2-< 10ppm, nitrate anion<2000ppm, the oxide aggregate of cerium hydroxide product>80%, acid-soluble good etc.
But in prior art, the technology of producing cerium hydroxide is difficult to reach so high requirement. EspeciallyThe requirement that is total amount of the rare earth oxide and nitrate anion is difficult to reach.
CN87100620A, CN1075171A, the disclosed production of CN1269327A, CN1048239AThe method of cerium hydroxide is from mishmetal feed liquid, and the cerium hydroxide obtaining is difficult to filter and produceThing purity is low, can carry parcel Na secretly+、Mn2+、SO4 2-With other rare earth impurities etc., make these methodsThe cerium hydroxide purity obtaining is on the low side. Can not be used for the field of having relatively high expectations for product impurity a lot,Such as automobile exhaust purifier, production ammonium ceric nitrate etc.
The disclosed cerium hydroxide preparation method of CN1635169A can improve the quality scale of product, but its productProduct oxygenation efficiency is on the low side, especially Cl-Height, total amount is low, and nitrate anion is high.
In the prior art, the total amount of rare earth of general cerium hydroxide is at 65% left and right, CL-?400-600ppm, nitrate anion is between 2.5-5%, and other non-rare earth impurity is between 100-200ppm.This can not meet domestic and international client's high-end quality requirement completely.
