Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating zirconium and hafnium, which specifically comprises the following steps of: using the acidic water solution of a zirconium compound as a raw material, extracting hafnium in the material liquid into an organic phase by using diisobutyl ketone (DIBK) or the synergism of DIBK with a neutral phosphorous extracting agent or the synergism of DIBK with anacidic phosphorus-containing extracting agent, and washing and stripping the oganic phase to produce a hafnium-rich liquid such that the separation of zirconium and hafnium is realized; respectively precipitating the hafnium-rich liquid and the remaining organic phase by using ammonia water, and washing and roasting the precipitates to obtain atomic energy level zirconium oxide and hafnium oxide.In the technical method provided by the invention, low content of hafnium in zirconium hafnium is preferably extracted, and the method has simple process and high extraction efficiency. The extraction system used in the method reaches the same zirconium and hafnium separation performance to MIBK (Methyl Isobutyl Ketone) but has smaller water solubility, high boiling point and flashing point and smaller toxicity compared with MIBK, and the problems of great solvent loss, easy outbreak of fire, environmental pollution and the like in the MIBK extraction separation method are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating zirconium and hafnium, in particular to a method for separating zirconium and hafnium from an acidic aqueous solution containing zirconium and hafnium by using a solvent extraction method. The present invention uses the acidic aqueous solution of zirconium compound as the raw material, and uses diisobutyl ketone (DIBK) or DIBK and a neutral phosphorus-containing extractant or DIBK and an acidic phosphorus-containing extractant to fully extract the hafnium in the feed solution into the organic phase , the organic phase is washed and back-extracted to produce hafnium-rich material, so as to realize the separation of zirconium and hafnium. 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 there is no separate mineral for hafnium, and it always coexists with zirconium in natur...
