Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting rare-earth elements through micro channels, and belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy. The method comprises the steps that firstly, P507 or P204 is added into 260# solvent oil diluents according to the volume ratio of 3:10-10:3 to obtain an organic phase; a rare-earth salt solution serves as a water phase; the organic phase and the water phase are subjected to normal-temperature extraction through the micro channels in a microreactor according to the phase ratio of 5:1-1:5 and at the volume flowing speed of 5.55*10-10-4.17*10-8 m<3> / s; and finally, an extraction phase containing rare-earth elements and raffinate are obtained. In combination with the advantages that the micro channels are high in specific interfacial area, high in mass transfer rate, short in response time and the like, the purpose of achieving high-efficiency rare-earth extraction is realized through contact of two phase interfaces in the micro channels, and the method is safe, efficient and low in consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting rare earth elements through a microchannel, belonging to the technical field of hydrometallurgy. Background technique [0002] my country is very rich in rare earth resources, not only has a large reserve, ranking first in the world, but also has a complete variety; at the same time, rare earth elements are widely used in metallurgy, glass, ceramics, chemical industry, nuclear industry, electronics industry, agriculture and medicine. At present, solvent extraction, ion exchange chromatography, and extraction resin chromatography are mainly used in rare earth extraction and separation processes, among which solvent extraction is widely used. The mixing-settling tank is the most commonly used extraction equipment in solvent extraction, which has disadvantages such as long mixing time, large floor space, low safety, and high energy consumption. [0003] Microchannel reactor refers to a special microfabrica...
