Scandium is known as a strategic element in the new century, is widely applied to the fields of national defense, aerospace, nuclear technology, laser, electronics, metallurgy, chemical engineering, glass, computer power supply, superconduction, medicine and the like, and has limited scandium resources on the earth.
The compounds used today for the purification of scandium have a rather well established process scheme. Since scandium is the least basic of the hydroxide than yttrium and lanthanides, the rare earth element mischmetal containing scandium, when transferred into solution after treatment and treated with ammonia, will precipitate scandium hydroxide first, so that it can be separated from the rare earth element relatively easily using the "fractional precipitation" method. The other method is to separate by using 'fractional decomposition' of nitrate, and scandium nitrate is most easily decomposed, so that the purpose of separating scandium can be achieved. Further, the comprehensive recovery of associated scandium from uranium, thorium, tungsten, tin, and other deposits is one of the important sources of scandium. The raw materials adopted in the existing preparation method of high-purity scandium metal need high-purity raw materials, so that the prepared scandium metal has high purity, the cost of the raw materials is high, the step precipitation method comprises more and more complicated steps, and the loss in the process is serious, so that a method for efficiently and economically producing high-purity scandium oxide by using a scandium oxide concentrate needs to be developed.
