Abstract

The invention relates to a synergic extraction agent for heavy rare earth elements and an extraction separation method of the synergic extraction agent. The synergic extraction agent comprises a component (a) and a component (b). The synergic extraction agent and thinner are mixed to form an organic phase to extract a heavy rear earth solution. In the extraction process, due to the fact that the two ionic-liquid-based extraction agents have a quite strong synergic extraction effect on heavy rare earth, the extraction capacity for heavy rare earth is obviously improved. Due to the fact that ionic liquid has a special phase shifting effect, a re-extraction agent more easily enters the organic phase, and the re-extraction rate is greatly increased. Multiple times of circulating saponification are not needed for the ionic liquid, and no ammonia-nitrogen waste water is generated in the extraction process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of rare earth extraction and separation, in particular to a synergistic extraction agent for heavy rare earth elements and an extraction and separation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the demand for rare earth materials related to heavy rare earths is increasing. For example, scintillation crystals used in positron tomographic scanners (PET) rely heavily on lutetium. Due to the extremely similar properties between heavy rare earth elements, separation is particularly difficult. [0003] In the prior art, the separation of heavy rare earths mainly adopts the extraction and separation method using 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid-mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (code name P507) as the main extractant. The P507 extraction system has the following problems that need to be solved: ① P507 has a small separation coefficient for some rare earth elements; ② the concentration o...
