Problems solved by technology

[0006] Due to the low grade of the ore, the concentration of rare earth in the leachate obtained is very low, and the volume of the leachate is huge. At the same time, the total time for impurity removal and sedimentation is as long as 10 hours, resulting in a large volume of the impurity removal tank and the sedimentation tank
Due to the short mining period of the mine, the infrastructure facilities such as impurity removal ponds and sedimentation ponds are left idle after the stop of mining, causing huge waste and causing huge permanent damage to the mountain environment

Embodiment 1

[0025] Take 1 ton of leaching solution from an ionic rare earth mine, in which the rare earth content (in terms of rare earth oxide content) is about 200 mg / L, and the turbidity is about 100 NTU. The raw liquid enters the quartz sand filter, and the permeate is pumped into the nanofiltration membrane system through a pump. The membrane pressure is controlled at 1.5-2.5Mpa, and the operating temperature is 10-40°C to obtain 80-85kg of nanofiltration membrane concentrate, and its rare earth concentration is 2400-2500mg / L. The rare earth recovery rate reaches 99.5%. Add saturated ammonium bicarbonate solution to the concentrated solution, adjust the pH to 5.2-5.4, and then enter the first-stage centrifuge device after reaction, and then enter the adjustment tank, add saturated ammonium bicarbonate solution to it until the rare earth precipitation is complete , after standing still for 3-4 hours, through the secondary centrifuge device, the precipitate is carbonic acid mixed rare...

Abstract

An extraction technology of ion-absorbed rare earth mine is disclosed. RE leach liquor undergoes preliminary filtration and the filtered RE leach liquor enters a nanofiltration membrane system; a nanofiltration membrane concentrated solution is introduced into an impurity removal tank or an impurity removal pot; a saturated ammonium bicarbonate solution or ammoniacal liquor is added for sedimentation; and a rare earth precipitating agent is added into a clear liquid so as to obtain a precipitate which is a mixed rare earth product. The above precipitating agent is a saturated ammonium bicarbonate solution or saturated oxalic acid solution. By the technology provided by the invention, rare earth is extracted by the combination of a membrane separation technology and a centrifugal separation technology. Dosage of ammonium bicarbonate is decreased, volume of various tanks is reduced, recycling of ammonium sulfate is realized, extraction rate of rare earth is raised, and economical exploitation of rare earth mine with content of rare earth in a leachate being less than 0.2 g / L can be achieved. Meanwhile, the production technology adopts an integrated equipment system, there is no need to excavate lots of tanks or destroy mountain vegetation, and damage of traditional production technologies to the environment is changed thoroughly. The extraction technology provided by the invention is a typical clean production technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a beneficiation process, in particular to an extraction process of ion-type rare earth ore. Background technique [0002] Ionic rare earth deposits (also known as weathering crust leaching rare earth deposits) are a new type of rare earth deposits discovered for the first time in my country. This deposit is large in scale, rich in reserves, and low in radioactivity. It is a unique rare earth resource in my country, mainly distributed in Jiangxi , Guangdong, Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi and other provinces and autonomous regions. Its characteristic is that it is mainly adsorbed on the surface of clay minerals in the form of ions, which is easy to mine and simple in extraction process. However, the grade of this type of ore is low, mostly below 3 per thousand. As the mining of rare earth mines becomes more and more lean and mineralized, the extraction cost gradually increases. [0003] The traditional rare earth extraction process of...
