Description

Functional ionic liquid and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of rare earth metal extraction, and particularly relates to a functional ionic liquid and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Rare earth elements are considered "industrial vitamins" and are widely used in the fields of alloy materials, metallurgy, glass, ceramics, chemical industry, nuclear industry, electronics, agriculture, optics, medicine, and the like. The ion adsorption type rare earth mineral is the most important primary heavy rare earth resource, is mainly produced in south China, and the global yield of Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) is far lower than that of light rare earth elements. Lutetium is the element with the largest atomic number in lanthanide, and is widely applied to high-end scientific and technological fields such as scintillators, photodynamic therapy (PDT), optical limiters, sensors, controllable broadband absorbing materials and the like, and the purity of lutetium is one of the important reasons for influencing the application of lutetium in high-end fields, so that lutetium is particularly important for separating other heavy rare earths, but a pure single rare earth compound is difficult to separate due to the similarity of physical and chemical properties of HREE.
The separation of rare earth is carried out by separating out rare earth ions from leaching solution by ammonium bicarbonate or oxalic acid, calcining to prepare mixed rare earth oxide, and producing rare earth metal and alloy by solvent extraction and electrodeposition (Vahidi, E.; ZHao, F. environmental life cycle analysis of rare earth oxides through solution extraction. J environmental management manager 2017,203(Pt 1), 255) 263). 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) has been the most widely used extractant for the separation of REs (Sato, T.liquid-liquid extraction of raw-earth elements from aqueous acid solutions by acid organophosphorus compounds, hydrometallurgy 1989,22(1-2), 121-. Taking P507 as an example, in the solvent extraction stage, the separation method of heavy rare earth in industry generally divides various rare earths into groups, then separates individual heavy rare earth through the cascade extraction process, lutetium is finally separated from thulium ytterbium lutetium enrichment (Wang, Y.L.; Li, F.J.; ZHao, Z.Y.; Dong, Y.M.; Sun, X.Q.the novel extraction process based on
Figure BDA0002799850710000021
572for separating the heaven earth from ion-adsorbed disposed. Sep. Purif. technol.2015,151, 303-308). But because the separation coefficient of P507 in heavy rare earth is relatively highSince small and high acidity is required for dissolution, many extractants for separating heavy Rare Earth instead of P507 have been studied, for example Cytec Industries developed a novel extractant Cyanex272 which largely increases the separation coefficient between heavy Rare Earth and has low dissolution acidity but low extraction ability, small amount of extraction load, and easy formation of a third phase (Zhang, X.F.; Li, D.Q.extraction of ray-Earth Ions (III) with Bis (2.4.4-trimethyl-phosphoric acid. Chinese Journal of Applied Chemistry 1993,10, 72-72.). The single extractant is difficult to improve the performance of the extractant comprehensively, and the synergistic extraction is an effective extraction method for separating the rare earth. For example, for mixtures of Cyanex272 and other extractants (e.g., HEHEHEHP, D2EHPA, TBP, sec-octylphenoxy-substituted acetic acid (CA-12), etc.), many synergistic extraction systems have been reported (Zhu, Z.W.

Ionic Liquids (ILs) are molten salts with melting temperatures below 100 ℃, usually consisting of asymmetric cations and anions, and can be widely used in the fields of electrochemistry, bio-utilization, analysis, solvents and catalysts, engineering, physicochemical, etc. due to their unique physicochemical properties. The low flammability, non-volatility and high thermal stability make its use in solvent extraction environmentally friendly. Furthermore, ILs are characterized by a tunable anionic and cationic structure, which is considered to be a "programmable solvent" because of this tunability, i.e., the ability to attach specific functional groups to the anions and cations of ILs for specific purposes, as required by the actual situation, is known as functionalized ionic liquids (TSILs). The properties of this tunable synthesis of ILs will give them unique behavior in solvent extraction processes compared to the molecular extractant MEs. ILs exhibit higher partition ratios and better selectivity than organic solvents, with increased selectivity allowing for a reduction in separation stages, and increased partition ratios allowing for a reduction in the volume of diluent added during separation, with the possibility of recycling the extractant. There have been many studies on the separation of rare earths using ionic liquids. Studies have reported that ionic liquids prepared from Cyphos IL101 (trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium chloride) successfully separate cobalt (II), neodymium (III) and dysprosium (III) from iron-free leachates in nitric acid (Quijada-Maldonado, E.; Olea, F.; Sep U.V. Ed, R.; Castillo, J.; Cabezas, R.; Merlet, G.; Romero, J.Possiblities and transformers for ionic acids in hydrometallurgy.Sep.purif.Techno.2020, 251.). Guo et al have studied the extraction and separation of the REs (III) in nitrate and chloride media using [ A336] [ P507] or [ A336] [ P204] as an extractant, and the high selectivity and low acid-base consumption thereof are positive factors for industrial applications (Xiong, Y.; Kuang, W.Q.; ZHao, J.M.; Liu, H.Z.Ionic liquid-based synthetic extraction of rare earths with a direct out solution: Tycal ion-association mechanism. Sep.Purif.Tehnol.2017, 179, 349-356). Recently, Ce (III), Eu (III) and Y (III) are selectively recovered from chloride medium leachate by a four-stage cross-flow solvent extraction process using two ionic liquids Primene 81R & D2EHPA IL and Primene 81R & Cyanex 572IL as extractants and successfully applied to actual waste streams in fluorescent lamp waste, and the purity thereof is more than or equal to 99.9%. The Ionic Liquid can also form acid-base coupled Bifunctional Ionic liquids (ABC-BILs) with a molecular extractant TRPO for separating Rare earth elements, which is a new form of synergistic Extraction Using the Ionic Liquid extractant and the molecular extractant (Guo, L.; Chen, J.; Shen, L.; Zhang, J.P.; Zhang, D.L.; Deng, Y.F. high choice Extraction and Separation of ray Earth (III) Using Bifunctional Ionic Liquid extractant, Sustainable Chem. Eng.2014,2(8), 1968-. In recent years of research, ionic liquids have been embedded in PIMs and used in metal ion adsorption separations.
The ionic liquid is used as extractant or diluent for metal separation, the cation is mostly imidazole and some quaternary ammonium or phosphine cations with long-chain alkyl, etc., the anion is phosphate functional group such as EHEHEHP, bis (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex272, also can be represented by C272), BTMPP, carboxylic acid functional group such as CA-12, SOPPA, TODGA and fluorine-containing functional group such as BETI, NTf2、PF6And the like. Due to the hydrophobicity of the anions and cations, the loss of the anions and cations in the water phase in the extraction process can be reduced to a great extent, and the metal is extracted through an ion association mechanism rather than an ion exchange mechanism, so that the environmental problem is favorably treated, and the extraction performance and selectivity of the metal are improved.
