(2) The first filtrate was adjusted with CaO in solution C (H + ) =0.5 mol/L, which was then poured into an autoclave; heating the solution to 180 ℃ in a reaction kettle, introducing oxygen after reaching the reaction temperature, keeping the oxygen partial pressure of 0.6MPa, reacting for 2 hours, and carrying out solid-liquid separation after the reaction is completed to obtain impurity-removing slag and a first stepAnd (2) filtering the second filtrate. In the impurity removing process, the impurity elements of iron, niobium, titanium and zirconium are precipitated, and the concentration of the iron, niobium, titanium and zirconium in the solution is respectively reduced to 180mg/L, 2mg/L, 4mg/L and 2mg/L.
(3) Carrying out uranium extraction on the second filtrate by adopting 3% N235+5% TBP+92% kerosene, and reducing the uranium concentration in the solution to 0.9mg/L through 3-stage countercurrent extraction to obtain a uranium-extracted solution and a uranium-loaded organic phase; the uranium-loaded organic phase adopts 100g/LNa 2 CO 3 Performing back extraction to obtain qualified uranium liquid; the organic phase after back extraction returns to uranium extraction for recycling.

(5) The composition of the beryllium extraction organic phase is 30% of P204+20% of TBP+50% of sulfonated kerosene, and the organic phase is firstly saponified by 400g/LNaOH solution, and the saponification degree is controlled to be 40%. The beryllium extraction adopts four-stage countercurrent extraction, the beryllium extraction rate in the solution is more than or equal to 99.90 percent, the iron extraction rate is less than 30 percent, and the beryllium-iron separation coefficient is 2350.

Comparative example 1
The difference with the embodiment 1 is that the prior art is adopted, the sulfuric acid leaching solution containing rare earth uranium beryllium is heated to 90 ℃, sodium sulfate is added according to 1.5 times of the theoretical addition amount, and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours; and (3) carrying out solid-liquid separation after the reaction is completed to obtain rare earth sulfuric acid double salt precipitation and rare earth precipitation solution. Then adjusting the solution after precipitating the rare earth by using NaOH solution, adding hydrogen peroxide at the same time, and reacting for 2 hours at 95 ℃; and filtering and separating after the reaction is finished to obtain precipitation slag and solution after iron removal. The solution after iron removal adopts 201 x 7 anion exchange adsorption to separate uranium, and the volume ratio of resin to solution is 1:50, the contact time is 4h; and (5) separating after the adsorption is completed to obtain uranium adsorption resin and uranium separated solution. Heating the uranium separated solution to 90 ℃, adjusting the pH to 7-8 by ammonia water, and stirring for reacting for 4 hours; filtering and separating after the reaction is completed to obtain beryllium hydroxide precipitate and beryllium precipitating solution. Because the content of impurity elements in the leaching solution is high, valuable elements such as beryllium, rare earth, uranium and the like are adsorbed in the iron precipitation process, and the loss is large; because the sulfate radical concentration in the solution is higher, the uranium recovery rate in the ion exchange adsorption process only reaches 40%; because neutralization precipitation is not thorough in impurity removal, the content of uranium, iron, titanium and sulfate radical in the beryllium hydroxide precipitation is higher, and the quality of the beryllium hydroxide product is reduced.

(2) The cost of the reagent is low.
