Description

Method for treating mixed rare earth concentrate and application of quartz
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for treating mixed rare earth concentrate and application of quartz.
Background
The smelting process of the mixed rare earth concentrate mainly comprises a sulfuric acid roasting method and a caustic soda method. The roasting of sulfuric acid is divided into two processes of low-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid roasting and high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid roasting. Mixed gas such as HF, SO produced in the course of roasting and decomposing concentrated sulfuric acid 3 、SO 2 And CO 2 CO, water vapor, sulfuric acid vapor and the like are difficult to treat, sulfuric acid roasting, water leaching, alkaline solution neutralization, extraction transformation, hydrochloric acid back extraction and the like are involved in the whole process, and finally the obtained rare earth chloride solution is subjected to multistage extraction grouping of rare earth. The roasting process of the sulfuric acid has the problems of long flow, various and large using amount of raw materials, high cost, large generation amount of three wastes, high treatment difficulty, difficult effective separation and recovery of a large amount of phosphorus elements in the concentrate after entering the rare earth mixed solution and the like, thereby causing the waste of phosphorus and fluorine resources. The caustic soda process comprises the steps of rare earth concentrate, decalcification treatment, caustic soda decomposition, filtering and washing, hydrochloric acid dissolution, mixed rare earth chloride, multistage extraction and the like. The process has the problems of high requirement on the grade of rare earth concentrate, long process flow, large washing water consumption, difficult treatment of a large amount of sodium fluoride and sodium phosphate entering washing liquor and the like.
Therefore, a process capable of sufficiently recovering the resources such as fluorine, phosphorus, rare earth and the like in the mixed rare earth concentrate and simultaneously reducing the generation of waste water, waste slag and waste gas is needed.
CN106586992A discloses a process for comprehensively recovering fluorine and phosphorus by liquid alkali decomposition of mixed rare earth concentrate: mixing the high-grade mixed rare earth concentrate with a sodium hydroxide solution with the concentration of more than 60wt% according to the weight ratio of the mixed rare earth concentrate to the sodium hydroxide of 1.5-7.5, reacting for 0.2-1 h at 150-160 ℃, carrying out hot filtration to obtain a concentrated alkali solution and an alkali cake, cooling the concentrated alkali solution, and then carrying out filtration to obtain a sodium phosphate product; the alkali cake is washed by water for size mixing and is filtered to obtain primary washing alkali liquor; continuously washing the alkali cake with water to neutrality, dissolving with hydrochloric acid, and controlling pH value to obtain rare earth chloride solution; and concentrating and filtering the primary alkali washing liquid to obtain a sodium fluoride product. Although the process can recover fluorine and phosphorus respectively, the fluorine removal rate and the phosphorus recovery rate in the process are still to be improved; the obtained sodium phosphate has high fluorine content and is difficult to remove in the subsequent step; and part of sodium fluoride is remained in the rare earth filter cake, so that the rare earth yield is reduced when rare earth fluoride precipitate is produced in the hydrochloric acid leaching process, and the energy consumption is large when the alkali washing liquid is concentrated.
CN109837385A discloses a method for heating, melting, converting and decomposing rare earth ore, adding carbon material into a furnace, melting the rare earth ore of endosperm dephosphorization and fluorine fixation material by utilizing the functions of heating of carbonic acid material and generating electric arc heating, wherein the fluorine fixation material adopts calcium carbonate. The fluorine-containing substances generated by the process are not beneficial to cyclic utilization, and the fluorine removal rate is still to be improved.
CN114480835A discloses a decomposition method of mixed rare earth concentrate, which comprises roasting and decomposing the mixed rare earth concentrate, magnesium chloride and carbon powder under the action of microwave to obtain roasted ore; leaching the roasted ore by adopting first inorganic acid to obtain acid leaching slag and a first rare earth solution; separating acid leaching residues to respectively obtain magnesium fluoride and undecomposed rare earth concentrate; performing alkaline decomposition on the undecomposed rare earth concentrate to obtain alkaline wastewater and alkaline hydrolysis ore; cooling, concentrating and crystallizing the alkali wastewater to obtain sodium phosphate and recovered alkali liquor; and leaching the alkaline hydrolyzed ore by adopting second inorganic acid to obtain a second rare earth solution. The decomposition method can obtain magnesium fluoride, but the fluorine removal rate is still to be improved.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to specific embodiments, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
In one aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a misch metal concentrate. In another aspect, the present invention provides the use of quartz in the treatment of a misch metal concentrate to obtain fluorosilicic acid. In the above method or use, the various steps are identical and are therefore described in general terms below. The treatment method or the application of the invention comprises the steps of forming fluosilicic acid and defluorination rare earth concentrate, alkaline leaching and acid leaching. Optionally, the method also comprises the step of crushing and/or grinding the mixed rare earth concentrate and/or the quartz.
The misch metal concentrate refers to a mixed rare earth ore mainly composed of monazite and bastnaesite, such as a baiyunebo mixed rare earth ore. Although the misch metal concentrate also contains bastnaesite, the treatment processes of misch metal concentrate and bastnaesite are significantly different due to the presence of other minerals such as monazite. If the two are treated by the same process, the treatment effect is greatly different.
< step of pulverization and/or grinding >
And respectively crushing and/or grinding the mixed rare earth concentrate and/or quartz to be treated to respectively obtain mixed rare earth concentrate particles and quartz particles.
In certain embodiments, the misch metal concentrate is ground to a particle size of 200 mesh or less, preferably 200 to 230 mesh, to produce misch metal concentrate particles. In other embodiments, the quartz is ground to a particle size of 200 mesh or less, preferably 200 to 230 mesh, to obtain quartz particles. Therefore, the mixed rare earth concentrate is not influenced to remove fluorine, and the ore grinding energy consumption is reduced.
< formation of fluosilicic acid and defluorination rare earth concentrate >
In the invention, the mixed rare earth concentrate and quartz are mixed, heated to a first temperature, steam is introduced, the mixture is continuously heated to a second temperature, the mixture reacts at the first temperature, and fluoride gas is condensed and recovered at the same time to obtain fluosilicic acid and defluorination rare earth concentrate. Preferably, the mixed rare earth concentrate particles and the quartz particles are uniformly mixed, heated to a first temperature, introduced with water vapor, continuously heated to a second temperature, and reacted at the first temperature, and simultaneously fluoride gas is condensed and recovered to obtain fluosilicic acid and the defluorination rare earth concentrate.
The present invention has surprisingly found that by adding quartz and controlling its amount and reaction temperature under the condition of introducing steam, the fluorine removal rate can be significantly increased and fluosilicic acid of higher purity can be obtained.
In the invention, the mixed rare earth concentrate particles and quartz particles can be placed into a gas-solid reaction furnace for heating or reaction. The gas-solid reaction furnace can be a fluidized bed, a fluidized bed furnace or a rotary kiln, and preferably is a gas-solid reaction furnace fluidized bed.
The first temperature may be 200 to 400 deg.c, preferably 250 to 350 deg.c, more preferably 280 to 320 deg.c. Then introducing water vapor, wherein the flow rate of the water vapor is 0.5-1.5 m when the temperature is lower than 700 DEG C 3 /(t min) (steam input/ton ore/min)Clock), preferably 0.8 to 1.2m 3 V (t.min); when the temperature is higher than 700 ℃, the water vapor flow is 2 to 5m 3 /(t.min), preferably 3 to 4m 3 /(t · min). t represents ton.
The second temperature may be 850 to 950 ℃, preferably 850 to 930 ℃, more preferably 850 to 920 ℃, still more preferably 880 to 920 ℃, and still more preferably 900 to 920 ℃. The reaction time may be 1 to 4 hours, preferably 1.5 to 3.5 hours, more preferably 2 to 3 hours. This is advantageous in improving the fluorine removal rate. In the prior art, the fluorine removal treatment temperature is usually above 1000 ℃ to obtain higher fluorine removal rate, but the dead burning phenomenon of rare earth minerals is easily caused by overhigh temperature, so that the activity is obviously reduced. According to the invention, by adding quartz, a higher fluorine removal rate can be obtained at a lower treatment temperature, and a higher rare earth recovery rate is ensured.
The mass ratio of the quartz to the misch metal concentrate is 0.04-0.06, preferably 0.045-0.055, more preferably 0.045-0.05. Thus being beneficial to improving the fluorine removal rate and improving the content of the fluosilicic acid.
The temperature of condensation is 45 ℃ or lower, preferably 40 ℃ or lower, and more preferably 30 ℃ or lower. Thus being beneficial to improving the recovery rate of fluorine and obtaining the fluosilicic acid with higher yield.
And after the reaction is finished, closing the heating system, closing the steam system, cooling and recovering the high-quality defluorinated rare earth concentrate. The fluorine content in the fluorine-removing rare earth concentrate is less than or equal to 0.45wt%.
The calculation formula of the fluorine removal rate is as follows: (amount of fluorine in the mixed rare earth concentrate-amount of fluorine in the defluorinated rare earth concentrate)/amount of fluorine in the mixed rare earth concentrate x 100%. The fluorine removal rate of the present invention is 95% or more, preferably 96% or more.
< alkaline Leaching step >
And leaching the defluorinated rare earth concentrate by using a sodium hydroxide solution, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a sodium phosphate solution and a solid containing rare earth elements.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the defluorination rare earth concentrate is leached for 3 to 7 hours at the temperature of between 140 and 170 ℃ by using a sodium hydroxide solution, and solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain a sodium phosphate solution and a solid containing rare earth elements.
The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution may be 45 to 65wt%, preferably 50 to 65wt%, more preferably 55 to 65wt%. The amount of sodium hydroxide solution used was: the solid-liquid mass ratio of the defluorination rare earth concentrate to the sodium hydroxide solution is 1 (0.8-1.5), preferably 1 (1.0-1.5), and more preferably 1 (1.0-1.3). The leaching temperature may be 140 to 170 ℃, preferably 145 to 170 ℃, more preferably 150 to 160 ℃. The leaching time may be 3 to 7 hours, preferably 3.5 to 6 hours, more preferably 4.5 to 5.5 hours. Thus being beneficial to separating the sodium phosphate from the solid containing the rare earth elements and respectively improving the recovery rate of the sodium phosphate and the solid containing the rare earth elements. And the consumption of the sodium hydroxide solution is less, so that the generation amount of waste liquid can be obviously reduced.
The solid-liquid separation can be filtration, and a small amount of water can be used for leaching filter cakes during filtration. The solid containing rare earth elements is mainly water-insoluble rare earth hydroxide and oxide, and the separation of rare earth and phosphorus elements is realized by filtering.
The purity of the sodium phosphate solution is more than 50%, the sodium phosphate solid with the purity of more than 98% can be obtained by subsequent alkali (NaOH) removal, purification and crystallization, and the phosphorus recovery rate can reach more than 86%, preferably more than or equal to 87%. The phosphorus recovery is calculated as follows: the amount of the phosphorus element in the sodium phosphate solution/the amount of the phosphorus element in the mixed rare earth concentrate is multiplied by 100 percent.
< acid leach step >
And (3) leaching the solid containing the rare earth elements by using hydrochloric acid, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a rare earth leaching solution and solid residues.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the solid containing rare earth elements is leached for 2-4 h at 75-85 ℃ by hydrochloric acid, and solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain rare earth leachate and solid slag.
The concentration of hydrochloric acid may be 4.5 to 7mol/L, preferably 5 to 7mol/L, and more preferably 5.5 to 6.5mol/L. The dosage of the hydrochloric acid is as follows: the solid-liquid mass ratio of the solid containing the rare earth elements to the hydrochloric acid is 1: (3.5 to 6.5), preferably 1: (4.0 to 6.0), more preferably 1: (4.5-5.5).
The leaching temperature with hydrochloric acid may be 75 to 85 deg.c, preferably 78 to 85 deg.c, more preferably 80 to 85 deg.c. The leaching time can be 2 to 4 hours, preferably 2.2 to 3.5 hours, and more preferably 2.5 to 3 hours. This is beneficial to improving the recovery rate of rare earth.
The solid-liquid separation method is not particularly limited, and filtration is preferable.
The rare earth leachate is a solution containing rare earth chloride. The rare earth leachate can be used for extraction grouping of rare earth elements after impurity removal. The solid slag is solid containing aluminosilicate.
The rare earth recovery rate of the invention is higher, more than or equal to 92 percent, preferably more than or equal to 94 percent. The calculation formula of the rare earth recovery rate is as follows: the REO amount in the rare earth leachate/the REO amount in the mixed rare earth concentrate is multiplied by 100 percent.
According to the invention, fluorine is removed firstly, so that the subsequent leaching is facilitated, a large amount of rare earth fluoride precipitate is not generated and enters the solid, and the production problems of pipeline blockage due to fluoride precipitation and the like are avoided; in addition, the method is favorable for improving the phosphorus recovery rate.
< measuring method >
The measurement is carried out in the research of the Bayan Obo rare earth resource and the comprehensive utilization of the national laboratory detection center.
And (3) determination of fluorine content: adopts a fluorine evaporation method.
And (3) determination of the content of the phosphorus element: the ICP method was used.
Determination of REO content: plasma method and volumetric method are adopted.
In the following examples and comparative examples, the water vapor flow rates were as follows: at a reaction temperature of less than 700 ℃, the water vapor flow rate is 0.5m 3 V (t.min); at a temperature higher than 700 ℃, the water vapor flow is 3m 3 /(t·min)。

As can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and comparative example 1, if quartz is not added, the fluorine removal rate is obviously reduced, sodium fluoride in the immersion liquid seriously exceeds the standard, the fluorine removal process is increased, phosphorus loss is caused, the recovery rate is reduced, and in addition, a small amount of fluorine is brought into a filter cake to influence the recovery rate of rare earth.
As can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and comparative example 2, if the amount of quartz added is too large, the silicon content in the sodium phosphate solution after alkaline leaching is large, and the silicon removal process needs to be added, resulting in a decrease in the phosphorus recovery rate.
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 3, when the second temperature is too low, the fluorine removal rate is significantly reduced, and the fluorine removal process is increased, resulting in a low phosphorus recovery rate and an adverse effect on the rare earth recovery rate.
