The invention relates to a liquid alkali
decomposition method of high-grade mixed
rare earth ore concentrate. The liquid alkali
decomposition method of the high-grade mixed
rare earth ore concentrate is characterized by comprising the steps: mixing the high-grade mixed
rare earth ore concentrate with REO being more than 60 percent by weight and a
sodium hydroxide with the concentration being more than 60 percent by weight and performing reaction on the mixed
slurry at 150 to 160 DEG C for 0.2 to 1 hour, wherein the weight ratio of the mixed rare earth ore concentrate to the
sodium hydroxide is 1:(3.5-7.5); after reaction is finished, performing hot
filtration at the temperature being more than 60 DEG C and washing an alkali cake obtained by
filtration with water until the pH value is 7; and dissolving the alkali cake which is washed until the pH value is 7 with
hydrochloric acid of 6 to 10 mol / L and controlling the pH value to be 4 to 5 to obtain a pure rare earth
chloride solution. The liquid alkali
decomposition method of the high-grade mixed rare earth ore concentrate has the advantages that high-concentration liquid alkali reaction is conducted under the condition of high alkali-ore ratio, so the
system is high in flowability, small in alkali concentration change, high in
reaction temperature, insusceptible to fluctuation and short in reaction time,
continuous production is realized easily, the problem about continuous industrial production of the liquid alkali decomposition process of the high-grade mixed rare earth ore concentrate is solved, and
continuous production of the alkali decomposition process is realized.
