Description

The electrochemistry recovery method of heavy rare earth metalloid
Technical field
The present invention relates to recycle heavy rare earth metalloid by electrochemical means from the solution containing heavy rare earth metalloid Method is more specifically related to by adding complexing agent in the various industry solution containing heavy rare earth metalloid come dilute in weight Heavy rare earth metalloid ion-ligand complex compound is formed between great soil group metal ion and complexing agent, to recycle by electroreduction The method of heavy rare earth metalloid.
Background technique
Rare earth metal is the general name for the microelement of the sophisticated industry including generator and battery of new generation. Include minimal amount of rare earth metal in the earth earth's crust, currently, supplies a considerable amount of rare earth metals by China, but have such as With the trend of generally the wanted weaponization of petroleum.Therefore, many developed countries are striving to find new resource supplier, close simultaneously It infuses to by recycling previous used rare earth metal come the exploitation for the method reused.
Term rare earth is as the scandium (Sc) of 3A race, yttrium (Y) in the periodic table of chemical element and plus atomic number The general name of totally 17 kinds of elements of 57 to 71 15 kinds of lanthanide series.Rare earth metal can be divided into as light rare earth metalloid element Scandium (Sc), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), the neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium of (Light Rare Earth Element, LREE) (Sm), europium (Eu) and yttrium (Y), gadolinium as heavy rare earth metalloid element (Heavy Rare Earth Element, HREE) (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu).
Since the chemical property of rare-earth substance is similar, thus it is difficult to be separated by common chemical analysis operation, And the natively output in a manner of being mutually mixed, and its yield is few.EU Committee (EC:European Commission) by delivering entitled " key raw material (the Critical raw materials for of European Union in 2010 The EU) " report, 14 kinds of rare earth metals are divided into the substance that market is difficult to persistently supply according to demand.
2010, US Geological Survey (USGS:US geological Survey) extrapolated economically minable The global reserves of rare earth metal are 99000000 tons (REO benchmark: rare earth oxide (Rare earth oxide)).Relatively In 124000 tons as 2009 gross annual output amounts, above-mentioned estimated amount is not a small amount of reserves, from now on, in rare earth metal Mining and smelt the aspect development of the technology and increase of demand, it is about 50000000 that the yield of exploitation can be added by, which extrapolating, Ton.
Estimate that about 40% or so in whole reserves of global rare earth metal is imbedded in China, in terms of output, estimates The 97% of meter whole world rare earth metal produced originates from China.
From after 1972, China starts the smelting and isolation technics of developing rare earth metal alone, currently, in above-mentioned neck In domain, China has top technology and experience.24 mining companies and more than 100 a smelting companies are runed in China.
In order to protect rare earth metal resource, Chinese Government is just being applicable in new control and guilding principle.New policy it is basic Rare-earth Industry is considered as in country by frame, important a part of long-term industry development plan.The policy includes to rare earth resources Comparison strength protection and environmental pollution control.2010, Chinese technical industry portion issued entitled " Rare-earth Industry Into standard (Entry Criterions for Rare Earth Industry) " bill, assume overall responsibility for smelting in the control And separate smallest size, equipment, flowing and the fixed assets ratio of facility, for the guilding principle of environmentally friendly facility.According to upper New bill is stated, smelts and separation facility needs the annual ore that can at least handle 8000 tons or more, only for bastnaesite (bastnaesite) facility needs to handle 5000 tons or more of ore every year.China in order to protect this country rare earth eka-gold Belong to resource and adjusts the market price and the output of rare earth metal is adjusted.According to " 2009-2015 year terres rares Annual minable most ore amounts were set within 13000-15000 tons, in above-mentioned period by metal industry development plan " It is interior, the development rights and mining right of new mineral products may not be provided.Also, for the smelting in current operation and company is separated, is also wanted It is asked to further increase production efficiency.Plan is only allowed raw with regulation by reducing the small-sized smelting company in illegal operation A company more than the 20 of production capacity power.In addition to China, the related rare earth metal company runed concentrate on European Union (EU) and Japan, Japanese firm mainly produce magnetic alloy substance (NdFeB, magnetisable material) using rare earth metal, and European is several Company produces catalyst using rare earth metal and prepares magnetic alloy substance.But in rare earth metal application industry Many fields are also by Chinese companies' tenant's leading position.Under present case, mining and Smelting Part are almost 100% by Chinese ridge Disconnected, the other countries in addition to China only grasp a part (20%) in the production field of magnetic alloy substance.
Rare earth metal is mainly for the preparation of magnetic material, catalyst, battery and high efficiency light-emitting body.Current trends are, Cerium is used as glass matt additive, also uses the conjunction comprising rare earth metal when manufacturing the cooling end of high speed rotation turbine Gold, and think the further demand that can also have to rare earth from now on.Also, it is current, using a large amount of in terms of manufacturing magnetic material Rare earth, when manufacturing hybrid vehicle and when electric car, wind turbine, need terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), praseodymium (Pr) and neodymium (Nd).It is therefore expected that the demand to this 4 kinds of rare earth metals can sharply increase from now on.When manufacturing high efficiency light-emitting body, need Europium (Eu), samarium (Sm), terbium (Tb), cerium (Ce), erbium (Er) etc., in particular, supply falls short of demand for estimated europium and terbium meeting at present, yttrium (Y) and lanthanum (La) a possibility that supply falls short of demand is also proposed according to the rare earth policy of China and whether develop new rare earth.In particular, in addition to system High efficiency light-emitting body is made, in the refinement industry of petroleum, lanthanum also functions to very important effect, it is contemplated that for the time being as catalyst It is difficult to find out the method that can replace lanthanum.
As described above, since to have become reality to the export restrictions of rare earth metal stable dilute it is necessary to make for China The supply and demand measure of great soil group metal needs to develop the technology that can replace rare earth metal or Ke Xunhuanliyong as above-mentioned measure The technology of rare earth metal.But it is prepared in the multiple fields such as magnetic material, catalyst, battery, high efficiency light-emitting body currently In the case where continuing to increase to the use of rare earth metal, however, it is difficult to while multiple ensuring that rare earth metal can be replaced Technology.Therefore, it as achievable and feasible measure, needs to support in policy and rare earth metal is recycled and recycled Technology.
As the method recycled to input rare earth metal in the manufacturing process of magnetic material, have by right The method that waste material is melted to recycle the rare earth metal of elementary state;The method recycled with oxide form;Utilize chlorination The method that magnesium comes Selective Separation neodymium and dysprosium;The additional method etc. for adding 1% neodymium to be sintered after crushing neodymium magnetic material, But these methods the practicality due to the rate of recovery etc. is very low is also very low so far.
As the research in relation to being recycled to rare earth metal included in Ni-HM battery, there is Japanese national oil gas It will be from the thermal decomposition in Ni-HM battery to the research of lanthanum and cerium recycled, Germany with mineral metal products (JOGMEC) company The research of recovering rare earth metalloid in the slag generated in the process, China to be utilized retrieval of sulfuric acid nickel cobalt/rare earth metal Research etc., but not yet it is suitable for industry aspect so far.
As the research in relation to being recycled to the rare earth used in illuminator and television set (TV), there is Ou Silang public Take charge of the research of the technical aspect recycled to the yttrium and europium that are usually used in the display of television set, computer, electric light.
It the present invention relates to the use of electrochemical means recovering rare earth metalloid from industrial wastewater, especially recycling heavy rare earth eka-gold The method of category.Under normal circumstances, the reduction potential of heavy rare earth metalloid (Er, Yb, Tm) is extremely low (E0=2.2~﹣ of ﹣ 2.3V). This indicates that the tendency to be aoxidized is very big and restores required overpotential and becomes larger.If also, the hydrone of aqueous solution and electricity Son is in contact, then can be reduced to hydrogen and hydroxide ion, and reduction potential at this time is relatively higher than the reduction of heavy rare earth element Current potential (E0=﹣ 0.8277V).That is, this is indicated in the mistake for recycling heavy rare earth metalloid by electrochemical means from industrial wastewater Cheng Zhong largely can generate hydrogen in electrode surface and heavy rare earth metalloid not be deposited, thus be difficult to make heavy rare earth metalloid from Son reduction.
In this regard, the present inventor is in order to solve the technical problem of the electrochemistry recovery method of heavy rare earth metalloid as described above And pass through and be continually striving to, finally, complete by the way that in the solution containing heavy rare earth metalloid, more specifically, containing, weight is dilute Complexing agent is added in the various industry solution of great soil group metal to form heavy rare earth between heavy rare earth metalloid ion and complexing agent Metalloid ion-ligand complex compound, so as to recycle heavy rare earth metalloid ionic metal by electrochemical means The present invention.
