Method with recovering rare earth from low-concentration rare earth solution through prussian blue colloidal nanoparticles
Technical field:
The invention belongs to rare-earth wet method metallurgy and technical field of waste water processing, be specifically related to a kind of Prussian blue colloidal nanoparticles (PB-CNP) that utilizes as the method for sorbent material recovering rare earth from earth solution.
Background technology:
The application of Rare Earth Functional Materials in new high-tech industry and national defence, aeronautical and space technology is very extensive.But, along with the reinforcement of rare earth resources exploitation dynamics, the rare earth increase in demand, the higher-grade rare-earth mineral is reducing.Therefore; obtained paying close attention to widely in recent years for the rare earth recovery technology in the high efficiency rare-earth extractive technique of low-grade rare-earth mineral and the low concentration of rare earth waste water that produces in the Rare Earth Production process, especially studied the recovery technology of low concentration of rare earth feed liquid or waste water middle-weight rare earths from the angle of environment and conservation of resources.
Can produce a large amount of low concentration of rare earth leach liquor or waste water in the recovery process of southern ion type rareearth resource, especially soak in the technology of ore deposit in the original place, the concentration of leach liquor can reach 2g/L even more than 3g/L when the peak, but the concentration of most leach liquors is below 1g/L.Generally speaking, concentration all can be used precipitator method enriching and recovering rare earth wherein greater than the rare earth feed liquid of 0.3g/L.Soak the ore deposit and often directly do not reclaim but be used for circulation lower than the leaching tail washings of this concentration.Meanwhile, due to the original place soak the ore deposit to soak the amount that agent injection rate in ore deposit soaks than the pond large, it is residual in ore body that to soak the ore deposit agent content also higher, in the ore deposit residual soak the ore deposit agent can be with the ore deposit when moving with leaching water in rare earth in residual rare earth or downstream ore body bring stream stream into and run off, its content of rare earth is generally between 0.001~0.15g/L.If do not reclaimed, rare earth and electrolyte content in ambient water are increased, accelerate rare earth and run off, influence ecological environment, or even drinking water safety.In case the rare earth ion entered environment can not be biodegradable, can hide for a long time in environment along with food chain enters human body, accumulate in human body, cause various diseases and dysfunction, be detrimental to health.
The method of rare-earth enrichment recovery ion has much from low concentration of rare earth feed liquid or waste water.Be the most simply the precipitator method, complicated any extraction process, reverse osmosis method and ion-exchange-resin process etc. are arranged.In precipitator method recovering rare earth scheme, normally make solution be alkalescence with lime neutralization, make rare earth separate out precipitation of hydroxide and with a large amount of moisture from.This method is simple, but because the water yield is large, needs could discharge to neutral with the anti-pH of accent of acid.Resin adsorption method is also fairly simple, but charge capacity is little, and the resin cost is high, and the rare earth desorb is difficulty comparatively.The also not thoroughly solutions of problem such as although extraction process enrichment efficient is high, enrichment times is large, compares too littlely, and the extraction agent solution loss is large, and the high and secondary pollution of cost is large.
Summary of the invention:
The objective of the invention is for the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of short-cut method that can thoroughly remove rare earth ion and reclaimed from low concentration of rare earth feed liquid or waste water is provided.
The technical scheme that the present invention takes: utilize PB-CNP to the strong adsorpting characteristic of rare earth ion and the dialysis membrane selection perviousness to rare earth ion, PB-CNP aaerosol solution and dialyzer are combined into adsorb the elementary cell of rare earth from rare earth feed liquid or low concentration of rare earth waste water, this rare earth ion that is adsorbed can get off with the dilute acid soln desorb easily, and then reaches the purpose of rare-earth enrichment recovery;
