A kind of purification process of ultrapure rare earth metal of embodiment 3
It is carried out using a kind of purification devices of ultrapure rare earth metal of above-described embodiment 1 or 2, purification process is according to the steps
Order carries out successively:
(31)It crushes
Take rare earth oxide Pr6O11、Nd2O3And Sm2O3, 100-200 mesh is crushed to, is mixed with reducing metal simple substance La
Uniformly, the weight ratio of rare earth oxide and reducing metal simple substance is 1:1, in 12MPa lower lock blocks, obtain A1;

Neodymium, what is collected on the first graphite cake is rare earth metal samarium, and three kinds of rare earth metals of collection emit light by inductively coupled plasma
Spectrum analysis learns that the purity of three kinds of rare earth metals of purifying is respectively greater than 99.9999%.
The purification process of the ultrapure rare earth metals of embodiment 4-8
It is respectively a kind of method of rare earth purifying in embodiment 4-8, step is similar to Example 3, the difference is that only:Separation
Metal, reducing metal, the pressure of briquetting and the temperature of heating of purifying are different, specific as follows:

7 rare earth oxide Dy of embodiment2O3、Ho2O3、Er2O3,Reducing metal Li, rare earth oxide and reducing metal simple substance
Weight ratio is 1.3:1, briquetting pressure 12MPa, the temperature of heating is 1200 DEG C;
8 rare earth oxide Sm of embodiment2O3,Reducing metal Na, briquetting pressure 11MPa, the temperature of heating is 1100 DEG C.
Purified rare earth metal in embodiment 4-8, is collected in respectively in different collection boxes, by inductive coupling etc.
Ion emission spectroscopy analysis learns that the purity of each metal after purification is all higher than 99.9999%
Influence of the temperature that cools down in the purification process of 9 ultrapure rare earth metal of embodiment to final rare earth purification effect
During rare earth purifies, it is necessary to cool down to different heating zones after heat preservation so that the rare earth of different melting points
Metal is enriched on the coldplate in the area, and during cooling, the temperature control of heating zone is vital, and different is cold
But temperature directly with finally the purity of rare earth is related after purification, it is specific as follows.In following researchs, the purification process and reality of rare earth
It is similar to apply example 3, the difference is that only:The temperature of cooling is different.
A groups:The cooling temperature that this group is provided at a temperature of purified rare earth fusing point is 10-50 DEG C low, cools down
Cooling, i.e., the temperature that embodiment 1 is provided;
B groups:At a temperature of purified rare earth fusing point is 3-9 DEG C low, cooling down is carried out;
C groups:At a temperature of purified rare earth fusing point is 51-80 DEG C low, cooling down is carried out;
D groups:At a temperature of purified rare earth fusing point is 100 DEG C low, cooling down is carried out;
The results show that the purity of three kinds of metals of A groups is more than 99.9999%, and 0.3% metal is mixed in B group rare earth Nds
The metal Pr of Sm and 0.5%;The metal Nd of 0.4% metal Sm and 0.2% is mixed in C group rare earths Pr;It is mixed in D group rare earths Pr
There is the metal Nd of 1.1% metal Sm and 0.4%;
It can thus be seen that although the cooling temperature of A-D groups is below the rare earth metal fusing point of purifying, different drops
Temperature significantly impacts the purity of final rare earth after purification, and this is mainly due to rare earth metal fusing point to be separated and volatility
Matter approaches, and when cooling temperature is higher, low-melting-point metal steam easily diffuses to other collecting zones, causes collected metal
Purity reduces;And when cooling temperature is too low, it is condensed on the coldplate that volatile metallic vapour is easily trapped in diffusion path,
And then result in this phenomenon.
