Description

Treatment method of mixed rare earth concentrate and application of quartz
Technical Field
The application 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 sulfuric acid roasting is divided into two processes of low-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid roasting and high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid roasting. Mixed gas such as HF and SO generated in the process of roasting and decomposing concentrate by concentrated sulfuric acid 3 、SO 2 CO and CO 2 The method is difficult to treat such as CO, water vapor, sulfuric acid vapor and the like, and the whole process involves sulfuric acid roasting, water leaching, alkaline solution neutralization, extraction transformation, hydrochloric acid stripping and the like, and finally the rare earth chloride solution is obtained to carry out multistage extraction grouping of rare earth. The sulfuric acid roasting process has the problems of long flow, various raw materials, large consumption, high cost, large production amount of three wastes, high treatment difficulty, difficult effective separation and recovery of a large amount of phosphorus elements in concentrate into rare earth mixed solution and the like, and causes the waste of phosphorus and fluorine resources. The technological process of caustic soda method includes rare earth concentrate-decalcification treatmentCaustic soda decomposition, filtering and washing, hydrochloric acid dissolution, rare earth chloride mixing, multistage extraction and the like. The process has the problems of high rare earth concentrate grade requirement, long process flow, large washing water consumption, difficult treatment of a large amount of sodium fluoride and sodium phosphate entering washing liquid, and the like.
Therefore, a process capable of fully recovering fluorine, phosphorus, rare earth and other resources in mixed rare earth concentrate and simultaneously reducing the generation of wastewater, waste residue 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 sodium hydroxide solution with the concentration of more than 60wt percent according to the weight ratio of the mixed rare earth concentrate to the sodium hydroxide of 1:3.5-7.5, reacting for 0.2-1 h at 150-160 ℃, performing hot filtration to obtain concentrated alkali liquor and alkali cake, cooling the concentrated alkali liquor, and performing filtration to obtain a sodium phosphate product; mixing the alkali cake with water for washing, and filtering to obtain primary washing alkali liquor; the alkali cake is continuously washed to be neutral, and is dissolved by hydrochloric acid, and the pH value is controlled to obtain rare earth chloride solution; concentrating and filtering the primary washing alkali liquor 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 steps; when partial sodium fluoride remains in the rare earth filter cake, the rare earth yield is reduced and the energy consumption is larger when the rare earth fluoride is produced by hydrochloric acid leaching process.
CN109837385a discloses a method for decomposing rare earth ore by heating, melting, converting and decomposing, adding carbon material into furnace, melting rare earth ore of endosperm dephosphorization and fluorine-fixing material by utilizing the functions of heating by carbonic acid material and generating arc heating, and using calcium carbonate as fluorine-fixing material. The fluorine-containing substance generated by the process is unfavorable for recycling, and the fluorine removal rate is still to be improved.
CN114480835a discloses a method for decomposing mixed rare earth concentrate, roasting and decomposing mixed rare earth concentrate, magnesium chloride and carbon powder under the action of microwaves to obtain roasting ore; leaching the roasted ore by adopting first inorganic acid to obtain acid leaching slag and a first rare earth solution; separating acid leaching slag to obtain magnesium fluoride and non-decomposed rare earth concentrate; alkali decomposing the non-decomposed rare earth concentrate to obtain alkali wastewater and alkali hydrolyzed ore; cooling, concentrating and crystallizing the alkali wastewater to obtain sodium phosphate and recovered alkali liquor; leaching the alkaline hydrolysis ore by adopting a 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 application will be further described with reference to the following specific embodiments, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto.
In one aspect, the application provides a method for treating a misch metal concentrate. In another aspect, the application provides the use of quartz for treating misch metal concentrates to obtain fluosilicic acid. In the above method or use, the steps are identical and thus are described in detail below. The treatment method or the application of the application comprises the steps of fluosilicic acid and defluorinated rare earth concentrate formation, alkali leaching and acid leaching. Optionally, the method further comprises the step of crushing and/or grinding the misch metal concentrate and/or quartz.
The mixed rare earth concentrate refers to mixed rare earth ore mainly composed of monazite and bastnaesite, such as baiyunebo mixed rare earth ore. Although the misch metal concentrate also contains bastnaesite, the treatment process of the misch metal concentrate and bastnaesite is significantly different due to the presence of other minerals such as monazite. If the same process is used to treat both, the treatment effect is very 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 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 200-230 mesh, to yield 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 yield quartz particles. Thus, the ore grinding energy consumption is reduced while the defluorination of the mixed rare earth concentrate is not influenced.
< fluosilicic acid and defluorinated rare earth concentrate formation step >
In the application, 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, and the mixture reacts at the second temperature, and fluoride gas is condensed and recovered at the same time, so that fluosilicic acid and defluorinated rare earth concentrate are obtained. Preferably, the mixed rare earth concentrate particles and the quartz particles are uniformly mixed, heated to a first temperature, introduced with steam, continuously heated to a second temperature, reacted at the temperature, and simultaneously condensed and recovered with fluoride gas to obtain fluosilicic acid and fluorine-removing rare earth concentrate.
The present application surprisingly found that by adding quartz and controlling the amount and reaction temperature thereof under the condition of introducing steam, the fluorine removal rate can be significantly improved and fluorosilicic acid with higher purity can be obtained.

The gas-solid reaction furnace can be a fluidized bed, a fluidized bed furnace and a rotary kiln, and is preferably a fluidized bed of the gas-solid reaction furnace.
The first temperature may be 200 to 400 ℃, preferably 250 to 350 ℃, more preferably 280 to 320 ℃. Then introducing steam, when the temperature is lower than 700 ℃, the steam flow is 0.5-1.5 m 3 Preferably 0.8 to 1.2m, in terms of steam flow rate per ton of ore per minute 3 /(t.min); when the temperature is higher than 700 ℃, the flow rate of the water vapor is 2-5 m 3 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 ℃, 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. The prior art can obtain higher fluorine removal rate at the temperature of more than 1000 ℃ generally, but the rare earth mineral dead burning phenomenon is easily caused by the overhigh temperature, so that the activity is obviously reduced. By adding quartz, the application can obtain higher fluorine removal rate at lower treatment temperature and ensure higher rare earth recovery rate.
The mass ratio of quartz to mixed rare earth concentrate is 0.04-0.06:1, preferably 0.045-0.055:1, more preferably 0.045-0.05:1, and even more preferably 0.045-0.048:1. Thus being beneficial to improving the fluorine removal rate and improving the content of the fluosilicic acid.

After the reaction is finished, the heating system is firstly closed, then the steam system is closed, the temperature is reduced, and the high-quality fluorine-removing rare earth concentrate is recovered. The content of fluorine in the defluorinated 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 misch metal concentrate-amount of fluorine in defluorinated rare earth concentrate)/amount of fluorine in misch metal concentrate x 100%. The fluorine removal rate of the present application is 95% or more, preferably 96% or more.
< alkaline Leaching step >
Leaching the defluorinated rare earth concentrate by using sodium hydroxide solution, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain sodium phosphate solution and rare earth element-containing solid.
According to one embodiment of the application, the defluorinated rare earth concentrate is leached with sodium hydroxide solution at 140-170 ℃ for 3-7 h, and solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain sodium phosphate solution and rare earth element-containing solid.

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 sodium phosphate from the solid containing rare earth elements and respectively improving the recovery rate of the sodium phosphate and the solid containing rare earth elements. And the consumption of sodium hydroxide solution is small, so that the waste liquid production can be obviously reduced.
The solid-liquid separation can be filtration, and a small amount of water can be adopted to wash the filter cake 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 through filtration.

The phosphorus recovery rate was calculated as follows: the amount of phosphorus element in the sodium phosphate solution/the amount of phosphorus element in the mixed rare earth concentrate is multiplied by 100%.
< acid leaching step >
Leaching the solid containing rare earth elements by hydrochloric acid, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain rare earth leaching liquid and solid slag.
According to one embodiment of the application, the solid containing rare earth elements is leached with hydrochloric acid at 75-85 ℃ for 2-4 hours, and the solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain rare earth leaching liquid and solid slag.
The concentration of hydrochloric acid may be 4.5 to 7mol/L, preferably 5 to 7mol/L, more preferably 5.5 to 6.5mol/L. The dosage of the hydrochloric acid is as follows: the mass ratio of the solid containing rare earth elements to the solid-liquid of 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 ℃, preferably 78 to 85 ℃, more preferably 80 to 85 ℃. The leaching time may be 2 to 4 hours, preferably 2.2 to 3.5 hours, more preferably 2.5 to 3 hours. Thus being 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 leaching solution is a solution containing rare earth chloride. The rare earth leaching solution can be used for extraction grouping of rare earth elements after impurity removal. The solid slag is a solid containing aluminosilicate.
The rare earth recovery rate of the application is higher and is more than or equal to 92%, preferably more than or equal to 94%. The calculation formula of the rare earth recovery rate is as follows: the REO content in the rare earth leaching solution/REO content in the mixed rare earth concentrate is multiplied by 100 percent.
The method firstly removes fluorine, is favorable for subsequent leaching, does not generate a large amount of rare earth fluoride precipitate to enter the solid, and does not generate production problems such as fluoride precipitate blocking a pipeline and the like; in addition, the recovery rate of phosphorus is improved.
< measurement method >
The measurement is carried out in the national laboratory detection center for the research and comprehensive utilization of the Baiyunebo rare earth resources.
Determination of fluorine content: adopts a fluorine steaming method.
Determination of phosphorus element content: ICP method was used.
Determination of REO content: the plasma method and the volumetric method are adopted.

Note that: the mass ratio of quartz to mixed rare earth concentrate is recorded as M.
As is clear from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 1, when quartz is not added, the fluorine removal rate is significantly reduced, sodium fluoride in the immersion liquid is seriously out of standard, the fluorine removal process is increased, the phosphorus loss is caused, the recovery rate is reduced, and in addition, the recovery rate of rare earth is influenced by a small amount of fluorine brought into a filter cake.
As is clear from a 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 is large after alkaline leaching, and the silicon removal process needs to be increased, resulting in a decrease in the phosphorus recovery rate.
As is clear from the 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 low phosphorus recovery rate and affecting the rare earth recovery rate.
As is clear from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 4, the second temperature is too high, and the dead burning phenomenon of the rare earth mineral is obvious although the fluorine removal rate is high, the activity is obviously reduced, and the recovery rate of the subsequent phosphorus and rare earth is greatly reduced.
