Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily separate and recover metal from metal oxides by heating and melting a mixture composed of metals having a low m.p. and high sp.gr. and metal oxides having a high m.p. and low sp.gr. by a zone melting system. CONSTITUTION:Raw materials 11 consisting of the mixture composed of the rare earth metals, such as mischmetals, Sm and Nd, and nonmetals, such as the oxides thereof, are packed into a circular vessel 1 for melting. A nonoxidative atmosphere is maintained in this vessel by discharging the air in the vessel by a vacuum pump 5 connected to an upper flange 3. An externally heated furnace 6 having heaters 7 on the outer side of the vessel 1 is vertically movably disposed along a lifter supporting base 9. This externally heated furnace 6 is disposed in the lower part of the cylindrical vessel 1 to heat the vessel 1, by which the raw materials in the lower part of the vessel 1 are heated. The rare earth metals are lower in m.p. than the oxides thereof and, therefore, these metals melt and settle, thereby forming a molten metal layer 12. The oxides of the high m.p. and the small sp.gr. float to foam a float layer 13. The above-mentioned reaction is continued by gradually rising the externally heated furnace 6. A solidified layer 14 of the rare earth metals is recovered in the lower part.

2. Description of the Related Art The method of remelting metal scraps or the method of separating and refining metal and nonmetal is the simplest method. Various methods for separating and refining a mixture of a metal and a nonmetal are known, but all of them have the drawback of high separation and refining costs. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention provides a method for separating and purifying at extremely low cost, and is particularly effective for separating and purifying a mixture of a rare earth metal and a rare earth metal oxide. For example, when an active metal such as a rare earth metal is stored in the air for a long time, a part of the metal surface is oxidized and becomes a mixture of metal and oxide. Since the oxide in this case has the same effect as that of impurities mixed in from the viewpoint of metal, it cannot be used as it is, and it is necessary to separate and purify it in many cases. The same applies when it is desired to recover only the metal from the mixture of the metal and the slag. Further, metal cut pieces and powders are generated in the manufacturing process and machining process, and it is necessary to regenerate these metals into economically useful shapes. Can also be applied.

In such a case, it is necessary to recover only the metal or the slag, but the economical value of the recovered metal or the slag is more important than the economical value of the condition that can be economically established at this time. The condition is that the recovery cost is low. When recovering metal, it is not enough to simply remelt it, and it is required that it has a shape convenient for the next processing. Therefore, it is economically possible to recover metals that are expensive to recover by conventional methods, but if the metals to be recovered are relatively inexpensive, the cost of recovering the metals will be higher than the cost of the recovered metals. Because it is not economically feasible,
It will be left as it is or discarded. The present invention solves such problems and provides a technical solution for regenerating and recovering a useful metal or compound (slag) at low cost.

A method of the present invention will be described, which is capable of separating and refining metal and slag and the like at a lower cost than a mixture of metal and slag and regenerating the metal at the same time. A mixture of metal and non-metal is placed in a vertical melting vessel.
In this case, the shape of the melting container is not necessarily limited, but a cylindrical shape is most preferable in consideration of external heating means and processing after regeneration. For the sake of simplicity, the description will be given assuming that this shape is used. Further, the material of the container needs to be a material that can withstand the melting point of both metals or slag. As an example of the material of the melting container, an example in which a SUS melting container is adopted will be described. Of course, the inside of the melting vessel may be lined with a refractory material. It is convenient to draw out if the inside of the melting vessel is slightly tapered. A cylindrical heater is placed outside the cylindrical SUS container containing this mixture. This heater temperature is maintained above the melting point of the metal contained in the SUS container.

Then, the raw material of the heating zone is melted, and usually the nonmetal has a high melting point and a small specific gravity, so that it floats above the molten metal.
The lower part of the melting zone contains only clean metal. While maintaining this state, the external heating furnace is gradually moved upward. The melting zone moves upward, and the lower metal layer separates from the heating zone of the external heating furnace, so that it gradually solidifies and a clean metal ingot is obtained.

In order to purify the active metal which is easily oxidized at high temperature, the inside of the melting vessel is evacuated by a procedure such as connecting the upper part of the vessel containing the mixture to a vacuum pump, and the oxidation reaction is prevented by the same operation. However, it is also possible to separate and purify. Alternatively, an inert atmosphere may be used. That is, according to the present invention, the purification of the active metal which is easily oxidized can be simplified. For example, it is effective for recovering rare earth metals such as misch metal, samarium, and neodymium, and metals that are easily oxidized such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium. The present invention is also effective as a method for recovering solid metal from metal powder or powder and cut pieces, and is particularly effective as a method for recovering active metal.
