Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantages of this process are: first, serious corrosion to equipment and workshops; second, there is no way to solve the emulsification problem in the extraction process, which eventually leads to the inability to carry out the extraction process (document: Zhang Pingwei. Solvent extraction and separation of zirconium and hafnium [J] . Rare Metals, 1992, 16(4): 286-292)

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating zirconium from hafnium by using an elution extraction method, belonging to the technical field of zirconium and hafnium separation. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing liquid MIBK (Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone) into MIBK elution extraction resin; extracting hafnium with an extraction agent of MIBK; reserving hafnium in a material liquid water phase and precipitating water ammonia water; eluting the elution extraction resin with hydrochloric acid and desorbing the elution extraction resin with sulfuric acid solution to obtain a solution containing hafnium; precipitating with ammonia water; and respectively washing and roasting the precipitation to obtain zirconium oxide and hafnium oxide in atomic energy level. The process method has the advantages of less mass transfer, high extraction capacity, large zirconium and hafnium separation coefficient, simple process flow and less investment and is easy for operation; two qualified products can be obtained by one-time extraction; the equipment has high yield and the consumption of chemical materials is low. According to the invention, the concentration of the used thiocyanic acid is lower than that used by a liquid-liquid solvent extraction method; the equipment is easy to close; and the pollution of H2S, HCN and methyl mercaptan generated by decomposing the volatilized MIMK and HSCN to the environment can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of zirconium and hafnium separation methods, in particular to a method for separating zirconium and hafnium by extraction and leaching. Background technique [0002] The zirconium ore isolates of zirconium in the earth's crust are mainly badley zircon (ZrO 2 ) and zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) exists in the form of hafnium, but hafnium does not have a separate mineral. It always coexists with zirconium in nature. There is no separate hafnium ore. The content of hafnium in zirconium in nature is generally 2 to 3%. Due to the huge difference in the nuclear properties of zirconium and hafnium, the content of hafnium in atomic energy grade zirconium is required to be less than 100ppm, and the content of zirconium in atomic energy grade hafnium is required to be less than 2%. Zirconium and hafnium are chemically very similar and it is very difficult to separate them from each other. The wet methods for the separation of z...
