Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that europium is enriched with chloride solution from sm-eu-gd.
Background technology
Europium is good luminescent material activator, such as:Eu3+It is the activator of red illuminating material, Eu2+It is blue-light-emitting
The activator of material.Europium oxide is widely used in LED, trichromatic energy saving lamp, fine definition as luminescent material activator and shown
Among display screen, new X-ray medical diagnosis system.Simultaneous oxidation europium applies also for laser, superconductor, magnetic bubble reservoir
Among part, control material, shielding material and the structural material of atomic pile.Therefore, europium oxide is new in the photoelectricity quickly grown
Extremely important status and effect are shown in material technology.
The purifying technique of basicity reducing process production high-purity mangesium oxide europium is mainly first reduced trivalent europium ion using zinc powder
Into divalent europium, divalent europium and sulfate radical formation europous sulfate precipitation, with other rare earths separations.Due to using zinc
Powder is reduced, and the part hydrogen ion in solution is reduced into hydrogen precipitation, causes pH value of solution to raise rapidly, some metal ions such as aluminium
Hydroxide Precipitation is formed, the percent reduction of trivalent europium is influenceed, causes europous sulfate to contain aluminum hydroxide precipitation, mistake in precipitating
Filter is difficult, and the europous sulfate purity precipitated is not high, influences later separation;Europous sulfate chemical property is stable, relatively difficult point
Solution, mainly uses following methods at present:1. nitric acid heat is boiled:Oxidation dissolution europous sulfate is boiled using salpeter solution;2. alkali heat is boiled:
Boiled using the mixed liquor or sodium carbonate liquor of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, europous sulfate is converted into the sub- europium of carbonic acid, then will
Carbonic acid Asia europium oxidation dissolution(Xu Guangxian is edited,《Rare earth》, metallurgical industry publishing house, 1995).Both the above method is required for adding
Heat, consumes substantial amounts of heat energy, and nitric acid and sodium carbonate are expensive, and production cost is higher.
The content of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide be enriched with europium in a kind of chloride solution simple to operate, with low cost from sm-eu-gd
Method.
Sm-eu-gd chloride solution of the present invention is that intermediate product or sm-eu-gd oxide that rare earth extraction is separated are molten
Product is solved, wherein [Eu3+] concentration be 3 ~ 50g/L, Σ REO be 70 ~ 300g/L, pH be 3 ~ 5, contain a small amount of aluminium ion.
The method that europium is enriched with the chloride solution of the present invention from sm-eu-gd is comprised the steps of successively:
1)Dispensing:Sm-eu-gd chloride solution is deployed into the solution that REO is 70 ~ 150g/L, glacial acetic acid, stirring 10 ~ 30 is added
Minute, regulation pH value to 1.5 ~ 3;
2)Reduction:At room temperature, in step 1)Solution in add magnesium sulfate, stir 30 ~ 60 minutes;Then zinc powder is added, is stirred
Mix 30 ~ 120 minutes;Filter residue containing europium and the chloride filtrate of gadolinium containing samarium are filtrated to get, concentration is used for 0.5 ~ 2mol/L watery hydrochloric acid
Filter residue containing europium is washed, washings are used to allocate above-mentioned sm-eu-gd chloride solution;
3)Decompose:At room temperature, in step 2)Filter residue containing europium in add hydrochloric acid solution, stir 30 ~ 60 minutes;Add dioxygen
Water, is stirred 1 ~ 5 hour;By 0.5 ~ 4 times of above-mentioned hydrochloric acid solution addition, it is diluted with water;Stir, to be filtrated to get trivalent europium molten
Liquid, filter residue returns to resolution process again.
The present invention presses glacial acetic acid:Sm-eu-gd chloride solution volume ratio 5 ~ 15:1000, glacial acetic acid is added to sm-eu-gd chlorine
Soda acid cushioning liquid is formed in compound solution, in zinc powder reduction trivalent europium, the pH of solution stablizes relatively, it is ensured that trivalent europium
Percent reduction, enters in precipitation slag, reduction effect is good while avoiding other metal ion formation hydroxide precipitations.
In the solution for adding glacial acetic acid, by magnesium sulfate:Sm-eu-gd chloride solution mass ratio 5 ~ 15:100 add sulfuric acid
Magnesium, introduces sulfate radical so that trivalent europium, which is reduced into after divalent europium, generates europous sulfate precipitation.
By zinc powder:The mass ratio 0.5 ~ 2 of europium in sm-eu-gd chloride solution:1 adds zinc powder, and trivalent europium is reduced into divalence
Europium, divalent europium and sulfate radical formation is precipitated, and other trivalent rare earths do not form precipitation, and divalent europium and other trivalent rare earths have been carried out point
From;Filter residue after reduction filtering is europous sulfate precipitation and the unreacted zinc powder in part.Europous sulfate chemical property is stable, insoluble
In soda acid, it is difficult to react with other materials.Because filter residue containing europium is the unreacted zinc powder of europous sulfate and part, zinc powder tool
There is reproducibility, the present invention is first dissolved the zinc powder in filter residue containing europium using hydrochloric acid, to reduce follow-up europous sulfate oxidation Decomposition
When consume oxidant, chemical equation is as follows:2HCl + Zn →ZnCl2 + H2。
Press hydrochloric acid solution mass ratio 1 respectively in filter residue containing europium:2 ~ 6 and hydrogen peroxide mass ratio 1:0.1 ~ 0.5 add 4 ~
10mol/L hydrochloric acid solution and concentration is 20 ~ 50%wt hydrogen peroxide.Hydrogen peroxide oxidation is added in the hydrochloric acid solution of filter residue containing europium
Europous sulfate is decomposed, chlorine and heat is produced, the heat energy released using reaction and the strong oxidizing property of chlorine are by the two of europous sulfate
Valency europium is oxidized to trivalent europium, and europous sulfate is decomposed, and generates water-soluble europium sulfate and Europium chloride.Due to europium sulfate solubility not
It is enough big, only 40g/L or so, in order to prevent that trivalent europium, with europium sulfate Precipitation, is diluted with water after decomposition after solution from cooling down, and is changed
Learn reaction equation as follows:
2HCl + H2O2 →Cl2 + 2H2O;
3Cl2 + 6EuSO4 →2Eu2(SO4)3 + 2EuCl3。
The method that the present invention is enriched with europium from sm-eu-gd chloride solution saves energy consumption, simple to operate, with low cost.
