Description

Method for preparing rare earth fluoride particles under acidic conditions and use of carboxylic acids or salts thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing rare earth fluoride particles under acidic conditions and application of carboxylic acid or salt thereof.
Background
The rare earth fluoride can be called as rare earth metal fluoride, can be used as an additive of steel, non-ferrous metal alloy and carbon arc rods, can also be used as a raw material for reduction electrolysis of rare earth metal and an electrolyte for molten salt electrolysis, and can also be used as a milky white agent for ceramic glaze, a glass polishing material, a crystal material additive, an organic synthesis catalyst and the like.
The preparation method of the rare earth fluoride comprises a wet process and a dry process. In the dry process, rare earth oxide (or carbonate) and hydrogen fluoride gas (or ammonium bifluoride solid) are heated together to obtain rare earth fluoride. The process has short flow and high production efficiency, but the operation is relatively complex, and high-temperature fluorine-resistant materials are required, so the equipment selection is difficult, and the production cost is high. The wet process includes a precipitation process and a salt conversion process. In the precipitation process, a soluble rare earth salt solution is directly reacted with a fluorinating agent to form a rare earth fluoride precipitate. The rare earth fluoride synthesized by the method has fine and colloidal particles, poor crystal form, high entrainment of water and impurities and poor working condition environment. In the salt conversion process, rare earth salt precursors (rare earth carbonate, rare earth oxalate and rare earth hydroxide) are reacted with hydrofluoric acid (or ammonium bifluoride) to obtain rare earth fluoride particles. The conversion of the precursor to fluoride of this process is not high.
CN1048531A discloses a method for preparing rare earth metal fluoride, which comprises the steps of taking soluble rare earth salt water solution, rare earth oxide, oxalic acid rare earth salt, ammonium rare earth sulfate double salt or slurry of acid carbonic acid rare earth salt as raw material liquid, firstly adding oxalic acid and then hydrofluoric acid, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain the rare earth metal fluoride. The method firstly generates rare earth oxalate, and then hydrofluoric acid is added for fluorination. Therefore, the amount of oxalic acid is large and an excessive amount of hydrofluoric acid is required.
CN1337357A discloses a method for preparing rare earth fluoride, which comprises mixing hydrofluoric acid and ammonia water to obtain a composite fluorinating agent, mixing rare earth feed liquid with the composite fluorinating agent, and carrying out fluorination and precipitation to obtain the rare earth fluoride. In the method, the dosage of hydrofluoric acid is 105-120% of the theoretical dosage of hydrofluoric acid required for precipitating the rare earth. In addition, the method easily produces wastewater containing fluorine.
CN101607733A discloses a method for preparing rare earth fluoride by taking rare earth oxide as a raw material. Mixing rare earth oxide with water, and adding concentrated hydrochloric acid to react to generate a rare earth chloride solution; heating the rare earth chloride solution to 70-90 ℃, adding malonic acid serving as a precipitator, and then preserving heat for 10-30 minutes; adding hydrofluoric acid into the reaction solution, and carrying out fluorination reaction at 70-90 ℃; and washing, settling, filtering and drying the precipitate generated by the reaction to obtain the rare earth fluoride. The above method uses malonic acid as a precipitant, not as an induced crystallization agent. Therefore, although the method can increase the size of the rare earth fluoride particles to some extent, it cannot perform the function of malonic acid induced crystallization because of the way of precipitation followed by fluorination, and the particle size of the rare earth fluoride particles is still small, which is not favorable for filtration. In addition, in the above method, it is necessary to use a slight excess of hydrofluoric acid (the amount of hydrofluoric acid used is 101% to 105% of the theoretical amount thereof), and therefore, fluorine-containing waste water is generated.
CN106978090A discloses a preparation method of rare earth fluoride polishing powder, which comprises the following steps: s1, adding 100g/L of light rare earth acid solution into a reaction kettle, heating and stirring to 75 ℃, and keeping the temperature constant; s2, preparing oxalic acid accounting for 115% of the total weight of the rare earth in the reaction kettle into a saturated solution with the temperature of 45-55 ℃; s3, dropwise adding the oxalic acid saturated solution into the reaction kettle at a speed of 50 drops/min; s4, when the oxalic acid saturated solution is dripped to 1/5 of the total amount, dripping hydrofluoric acid liquid which accounts for 5-10% of the total weight of the rare earth in the reaction kettle into the reaction kettle at a speed of 15 seconds per drip; s5, after the hydrofluoric acid solution is dripped, dripping an oxalic acid saturated solution into the supernatant solution in the reaction kettle, stopping dripping the oxalic acid saturated solution into the reaction kettle if no precipitate is generated, simultaneously, preserving the temperature of the reaction kettle for 2 hours for aging, and continuously dripping the oxalic acid saturated solution into the reaction kettle if the precipitate is generated until no precipitate is generated after dripping the oxalic acid saturated solution into the supernatant solution taken out of the reaction kettle; s6, taking out the precipitate in the reaction kettle, washing with water until the pH value is 6-8, drying at 120 ℃, calcining at 800-1150 ℃ for 5-8 hours, and finally adding a dispersing agent for grinding to obtain the rare earth fluoride polishing powder with the average particle size of 1.0-2.5 microns. The method needs to frequently judge whether the supernatant solution is dripped with the oxalic acid saturated solution to form a precipitate or not, so that the industrial production is difficult to realize. The oxalic acid saturated solution is dripped into the light rare earth acid solution, and then the oxalic acid saturated solution and the hydrofluoric acid solution are dripped into the light rare earth acid solution, so that the colloidal substance which is difficult to filter is easy to generate. In addition, the above method still uses oxalic acid as a precipitant, not an induced crystallization agent, resulting in a small particle size of the rare earth fluoride particles.

Its physical meaning is particle size greater thanIts particles account for 50% and particles smaller than it also account for 50%.

< concurrent dropwise addition step >
And (3) dropwise adding the fluorine-containing acidic solution A and the soluble rare earth salt solution B into the base solution C in a parallel flow manner to react to obtain a mixed solution. In the present invention, the order of addition is extremely important. The base solution of the invention does not contain soluble rare earth salt, thus being completely different from the prior art. The fluorine-containing acidic solution A and the soluble rare earth salt solution B need to be dripped in a parallel flow manner, so that the fluorine-containing acidic solution A and the soluble rare earth salt solution B can be ensured to have chemical reaction in time, and the crystallization of the rare earth fluoride is induced. This also makes it difficult to form a gel that is difficult to filter. The method of the invention does not need to frequently judge whether the supernatant forms the precipitate, thereby being beneficial to industrial production.
In the present invention, the fluorine-containing acidic solution a is an acidic solution containing a fluorinating agent; the soluble rare earth salt solution B is an aqueous solution containing soluble rare earth salt; the base solution C is water or an ammonium salt aqueous solution. The fluorine-containing acidic solution A and/or the base solution C contain an acidity-inducing crystallization agent. The base solution C before the start of the reaction contained no soluble rare earth salt. The resulting product has a large particle size, is easily filtered, and can improve the conversion of fluorine.
The present inventors have found that the grain size of rare earth carboxylates formed from carboxylic acids or carboxylates containing large steric bulk, such as oxalate, malonate, propionate, etc., is generally large. According to the theoretical mechanism that the solubility product ratio of the rare earth fluoride to the corresponding rare earth carboxylate is greater than 1, carboxylate radicals can firstly form corresponding rare earth carboxylate with rare earth ions, then the rare earth carboxylate reacts with fluoride ions in situ to be converted into the rare earth fluoride with a similar crystal structure, and simultaneously the carboxylate radicals are released. Thus, carboxylate radicals continue to participate in the next round of reaction to realize the effect of induced crystallization, so that the rare earth fluoride with larger grain diameter is obtained, and the generation of colloidal substances which are difficult to filter is avoided.
The acidity-induced crystallization agent of the present invention is a carboxylic acid or a salt thereof that can release a free carboxylate in an acidic medium. In certain embodiments, the acidity-induced crystallization agent of the present invention is a carboxylic acid that can release free carboxylate radicals in an acidic medium. The carboxylic acid of the present invention may be a monocarboxylic acid, a dicarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid, preferably a monocarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid, more preferably oxalic acid, propionic acid or malonic acid.

More preferably, the fluorine-containing acidic solution a is a mixed acid of hydrofluoric acid and fluorosilicic acid or a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and ammonium bifluoride. The fluorine-containing acidic solution A and the acidic induced crystallization agent are used in combination, so that the generation of colloidal substances can be avoided, and the particle size of the rare earth fluoride particles can be properly increased. In addition, the generation of fluorine-containing waste liquid can be avoided or the fluorine content in the waste liquid can be reduced, and the conversion rate of fluorine is improved.

For example, the rare earth salt is a rare earth sulfate, and the ammonium salt is ammonium sulfate. Thus being beneficial to properly improving the particle size of the rare earth fluoride particles and avoiding the generation of colloidal substances. Furthermore, this also reduces the effect of the anion on the acid-induced crystallization agent.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base solution C is an aqueous solution of an ammonium salt selected from one of ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate.

The ion concentration during the reaction is a key factor affecting the particle size of the rare earth fluoride particles.

In certain embodiments, the fluorine-containing acidic solution a contains an acidity-inducing crystallization agent and the base solution C does not contain an acidity-inducing crystallization agent. In other embodiments, the base solution C contains an acid-induced crystallization agent and the fluorine-containing acidic solution a does not contain an acid-induced crystallization agent. In still other embodiments, both the fluorine-containing acidic solution a and the base solution C contain an acidity-inducing crystallization agent.
Assuming that the molar weight of the acid induced crystallization agent calculated by carboxylate radical is X, the soluble rare earth salt in the soluble rare earth salt solution B is RE3+Calculating the molar quantity of the needed carboxylate radical as Y according to the molecular stoichiometric ratio on the basis, and then the dosage of the acid induced crystallization agent accords with the following formula: and X/Y is 0.1-20%. Preferably, X/Y is 1.0 to 15%. More preferably, X/Y is 5.0 to 10.0%.
