Rare Earth Separation cost height is evaluated, extraction quantity is important evaluation index.Ce/Nd separations are than Ce/Pr or Pr/Nd
Greatly, use and principle is separated into Ce/Nd, be LaCePr and PrNd by LaCePrNd extract and separates, according to tandem Optimized Extraction work
Skill design theory is calculated, and the extraction quantity or washing amount so separated can be much smaller, substantially reduces technological process, reduces extraction
Sump volume, reduces and fills groove one-time investment and chemical materials unit consumption, and production cost can decline to a great extent.LaCePrNd is separated,
La/CePr, PrNd/Nd, non-rare earth/La, La/Ce and Ce/P separation combination, form interactive.Using La/CePr separation and
The extraction quantity of the load organic phases of LaCePrNd separation substitutes the extraction quantity of PrNd/Nd separation, realizes that PrNd/Nd separates organic phase
Without saponification, so as to reduce alkali consumption;A part of aqueous phase that PrNd/Nd is separated substitutes traditional La/ as cleaning solution
The hydrochloric acid cleaning solution that CePr separation is separated with LaCePrNd, makes La/CePr separation and LaCePrNd separating, washings without acid, so that
Saving acid and alkali consumption is reached, the purpose of production cost is reduced, extract and separate is also reduced and produces the discharge capacity of waste water, and reduce
Acidity and salinity in waste water.PrNd/Nd separation employs organic phase fed technology, reduces the previous separation of LaCePr/PrNd
The consumption of the back extraction acid of load organic phases.An anti-stripping agent shunting part is as washing lotion, and this cleaning solution is easily extraction component material
Liquid, improves washing and separating effect, and reduce sour consumption.
The above-mentioned technological process of the present invention is short, and realization is filled groove material and more saved, and acid and alkali consumption is lower, reduces production cost,
Reduce equipment and fill groove investment, reduce production discharge of wastewater.
