The invention discloses a method for separating and recycling
uranium,
thorium and
rare earth in
rare earth mineral
decomposition residue. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out acid leaching, carrying out pressure
filtration, absorbing and recycling
uranium by using anion resin, separating and recycling
thorium and
rare earth by suing cationic resin. The method specifically comprises the following steps: leaching
rare earth mineral decomposition residue by using inorganic acid; carrying out pressure
filtration on the leached
slag, washing the leached
slag to obtain a clear material solution, absorbing
uranium element of the leached material solution by using 201*7 type resin, separating elements
thorium and rare earth of an uranium-removal material by using 001*7 type resin, separating and purifying uranium, thorium and rare earth, then washing, complexing, eluting, precipitating and concentrating to obtain products comprising heavy oleate,
thorium nitrate and rare earth
carbonate and obtain products which comprise high-purity uranium, thorium and rare earth. The extracting and recycling process is simple in device structure, low in investment, low in
energy consumption and easy to operate; the industrialization is liable to implement; the direct
recovery rate is 99%; precious resources can be recycled; the waste is reduced; the environment is protected.
