Description

From the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element, reclaim the method for metal values
The present invention relates to from the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element to reclaim the method for valuable component, and by the powdered alloy that contains rare earth element that this recovery method obtained.
Sputtering target materials such as sintered magnets such as Sm-Co base, Nd-Fe-B base and Tb-Fe base contain rare earth element component.Mainly by the normal pressure-sintered acquisition of formed body, target mainly obtains by pressure sintering sintered magnet.Under the situation of these agglomerated materials, the waste material that have waste material that substandard products form, when the goods of combination discarded, forms etc.Particularly in sputtering target material, be difficult to by the whole target of sputter completely consumed, after use, the residual agglomerated material of a part has become waste material.
Because rare earth element comparatively costliness and natural resource is limited, from these waste materials, reclaim valuable composition and utilize said composition again that utilization is important for resources effective.
For this reason, up to now, mainly carried out a kind of method that contained component is separated from each other by hydrometallurgical technology.Simultaneously, also has a kind of this component of utilizing again as a kind of method that is used for the dissolved mother alloy.
Yet, in these traditional methods, use known metallurgical technology as basic fundamental and make that condition is suitable may be handled, but have problems such as the value of the product that needs complicated step and formation is very low.
For example, hydrometallurgical is one of traditional recovery method, and at expensive element, when being the main ingredient of waste material as rare earth metal, cobalt metal etc., hydrometallurgical is a preferable methods comparatively.But,,, under with the situation of compound that reclaims, need be reduced into the material that reclaims the step of metal as alloy raw material as forms such as oxide compounds because the form of material to be recycled is a compound.
Simultaneously, the dry process method is another kind of traditional method, is that under the situation of method metallurgy, rare earth element is discharged in slag in removing the purification process of impurity, therefore, must be in other step from slag the separating rare-earth metal component.Simultaneously, be difficult to thoroughly remove the oxygen of q.s, so that utilize this component as the dissolved basic material from the component that reclaims.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of valuable method for compositions that from the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element, reclaims, can obtain pulverous valuable composition, said composition can be easily by adding suitable compensator alloy, again as the raw material of agglomerated material, not needing to resemble in traditional method every kind of single component of element is not separated and purify.
That is to say that the method for the recovery valuable constituent of the present invention that achieves the above object is a kind ofly to contain the sintering waste material of rare earth element by grinding, the material that makes grinding is through cleanup acid treatment, and dry handled material reclaims valuable method for compositions.
Simultaneously, the valuable method for compositions of another kind of recovery of the present invention is a kind of sintering waste material that contains rare earth element by grinding, the material of grinding is handled through calcium reduction, wash handled material then with the calcium oxide of removing formation and residual calcium, material after the dry washing reclaims valuable method for compositions.
Simultaneously, another method that from the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element, reclaims valuable composition of the present invention be below the valuable method for compositions of a kind of like this recovery, the sintering waste material that promptly contains rare earth element by grinding, make the material that is ground through cleanup acid treatment, the material that cleanup acid treatment is crossed is handled through calcium reduction, the material handled of washing reduction is with the calcium oxide of removing formation and residual calcium, the material after drying is washed then.
Simultaneously, another method that reclaims valuable composition from the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element of the present invention is the valuable method for compositions of a kind of recovery of following process, promptly grind the sintering waste material that contains rare earth element, make the material that is ground through cleanup acid treatment, material after the cleanup acid treatment is handled through calcium reduction, the material handled of washing reduction is to remove calcium oxide and residual calcium then, material process cleanup acid treatment, washing back and the dry material of washing that washing was handled.
The valuable composition that each method by method of the present invention reclaims is, for example, R-Fe-B base alloy (wherein, R represents a kind of rare earth element), particularly a kind of atomic ratio that contains is Nd 2Fe 14The alloy of B composition phase.
Describe the present invention below in detail.
The sintering waste material that contains rare earth element of each processing that can be by recovery method of the present invention comprises the metal sintering material that contains rare earth element; The sintered magnet that contains rare earth element is as R-Fe-B base sintered magnet (wherein, the rare earth element of R representative except that Nd), Nd-Fe-B base sintered magnet, Sm-Co base sintered magnet, their improved composition; With Tb-Fe-Co base target.
In the present invention, at first grind the sintering waste material contain rare earth element, as above-mentioned agglomerated material etc.In this case, in order to prevent oxidation, preferably mechanical mill contains the sintering waste material of rare earth element in inert atmosphere, and this material is ground to, for example, and about 100 μ m or littler particle size.
Because many sintering waste materials that contain rare earth element have absorption and release hydrogen and follow the character of volume change, when utilizing these character, material can be handled generation from disintegration (self-collapse) by carrying out absorption of hydrogen processing or absorption of hydrogen and release, if necessary, can control the particle size of disintegration material to the size that requires by mechanical mill.
The oxygen level that is used for the raw material of agglomerated material must be low.But the oxygen level of useless agglomerated material is bigger usually, is about 0.2~0.8wt%.
Can think that the part that oxygen level is big in agglomerated material is behind the powder surface zone of easy oxidation when sintering and the sintering on the oxygen accumulative structure crystal boundary.In the present invention, in the cleanup acid treatment after grinding, the oxide compound of existence and oxide film are dissolved in the crystal boundary (having gathered oxygen partially at this) of powder surface zone and structure falls, and carrying out this processing is in order to reduce oxygen level.
In the cleanup acid treatment step, not only can reduce oxygen level, and reduce carbon content unnecessary in the agglomerated material.
The sintering waste material that the condition of cleanup acid treatment can be suitable for containing rare earth element becomes its target product, and the cleanup acid treatment condition is had no particular limits.But because pH is when low, rare earth element component is dissolved unintentionally, preferably with pH buffered soln such as diluted acid or acetic acid control pH value.Even can not sufficiently reduce oxygen level, also can reduce oxygen level by the calcium reduction processing.
After cleanup acid treatment or washing processing, must remove by drying and anhydrate, in case oxidation etc. takes place, still, used method and apparatus is had no particular limits.
For the calcium reduction processing of abrasive substance, using particle or sheet metal calcium is economical and easy the processing, and the calcium reduction processing can replace cleanup acid treatment or carry out after cleanup acid treatment.As for other material, also can use hydrolith.Add-on as the calcium of reductive agent is not particularly limited, but will decides according to the oxygen concn of material to be restored, preferably the consumption of calcium is equivalent to reduce required amount at least.By in inert atmosphere or vacuum, keep reasonable time to reduce processing at the mixture of following abrasive substance of the temperature of the fusing point that is at least calcium and calcium.
Reduzate after the reduction processing is poured in the water into the reduzate disintegration.Remaining calcium metal component becomes calcium hydroxide in water, produce hydrogen simultaneously, and by reduction, the disintegrating property of product in water improves, and this makes valuable component good with separating of calcium.By repeating decant and slurrying again (repulp) washing, the calcium oxide of formation and remaining calcium components such as calcium metal can be removed effectively.In addition, if necessary, when in system, adding water-soluble flux components such as calcium chloride in advance, improved the disintegration character of reaction product.
Handle even carry out calcium reduction, oxygen concn takes place sometimes increase, this is considered to because disintegration in water or decant and the surface oxidation of the valuable composition of generation causes when slurrying is washed again.In this case, effectively after grinding contained the sintering waste material of rare earth element, the material after the grinding passed through cleanup acid treatment again through calcium reduction processing, the disintegration in water, washing.
In addition, before calcium reduction, when the carbon concentration of the material after the grinding to be restored is high, form owing to have the trace as carbonate such as lime carbonate of low solubility in reduction reaction, the removal of oxygen and carbon can not fully be carried out sometimes.In this case, after grinding, carry out cleanup acid treatment again, might fully reduce oxygen level by material after the grinding is handled through cleanup acid treatment, calcium reduction.
The valuable composition that is obtained is a powder type, forms by this powder is mixed with control with the powdered alloy for preparing separately for the composition that obtains to require, and this powder can be again as the raw material powder of producing sintered article.The powdered alloy of forming for control has no particular limits.But, because in the processing that reduces oxygen level (this is a main purpose of the present invention), the rare earth component is gone out by acidleach, so the powder that at least a control is formed is the powdered alloy that contains rare earth element.
Powdered alloy as the control composition, can use the powdered alloy that obtains by various known methods, the dissolving casting polishing of these known methods as after dissolving and casting, grinding, obtain the thin ribbon shaped goods and grind the liquid quench polishing of these thin goods by the roll-type chilling after the dissolving, directly obtain the atomization of powder by the injection-cooling after the dissolving, as water atomization or aerosolization method, obtain the reduction-diffusion process of powdered alloy etc. by calcium reduction etc.
