Description
Technical Field

Background
At present, the existing preparation method of high-purity rare earth metal mainly comprises a molten salt electrolysis method and a metal thermal reduction method, wherein the molten salt electrolysis method mainly prepares light rare earth metal or alloy such as lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, lanthanum cerium, praseodymium neodymium and the like; the metallothermic reduction method is subdivided into a calthermic reduction method and a lanthanum thermic reduction method (reduction-distillation method), wherein the calthermic reduction method is mainly used for preparing high-melting-point and high-boiling-point medium-heavy rare earth metals such as dysprosium, yttrium and scandium; while metals with larger vapor pressure such as samarium, europium, ytterbium, thulium and the like are prepared by thermal reduction of lanthanum or cerium or lanthanum and cerium.
The process of preparing high purity RE metal through thermal lanthanum reduction includes mixing metal lanthanum scraps and RE oxide in certain proportion, briquetting, and reducing in a vacuum carbon tube furnace to prepare RE metal. Taking the example of preparing metal samarium by lanthanum thermal reduction, the reaction equation is as follows: la + Sm2O3=Sm+La2O3In addition, the lanthanum slag is directly subjected to a wet process flow, namely lanthanum oxide and samarium oxide products are obtained through multi-stage extraction separation. However, the multi-stage extraction separation method has the disadvantages of complicated steps, large amount of acid and alkali liquor required in the process, great difficulty in treating three wastes, high cost, difficulty in further separation and treatment of the extracted products which are all mixed rare earth metal oxides, and low industrial utilization rate. At present, pure lanthanum oxide, cerium oxide, lanthanum cerium oxide, praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide and praseodymium neodymium oxide are used as raw materials, a molten salt electrolysis method is adopted to prepare rare earth metals such as lanthanum, cerium, lanthanum cerium and the like, however, the method is difficult to adopt by using mixed rare earth oxides as raw materials, mainly because the rare earth oxides contain more metal elements and also contain different oxides such as samarium, europium, ytterbium and the like, and the oxides such as samarium, europium, ytterbium and the like are variable-valence rare earth metals, and because the electronic structures of + 2-valence ions of the oxides are kept or close to a half-full or full-full state, the stable electrolysis is difficult to be kept to be in a required rare earth metal state; on the other hand, the rare earth is prepared into rare earth oxide before electrolysis, namely, the rare earth oxide is required to pass through ballsGrinding and oxidizing, but the steps are complex, the continuity is poor, the effect is poor, the safety is poor, batch production cannot be realized in the preparation process, the labor cost input is high, the period is long, and the popularization and the application are difficult in the industry.
In summary, no effective device for recovering rare earth metal slag generated in the process of preparing high-purity rare earth by a reduction-distillation method exists at present.
