Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a highly pure rare earth element oxide having an uniform horn-like particle shape by reacting a rare earth element oxalate salt with oxalic acid and ammonia and subsequently calcining the resultant rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt. CONSTITUTION:The mineral acid solution of a rare earth element mineral acid salt having a hydrogen ion concentration of <=0.3mol/l and a rare earth element ion concentration of 0.01-1.5mol/l is mixed with an oxalic acid dihydrate aqueous solution in an amount of 1-30wt.% corresponding to a 1.5-2 times amount that of the rare earth element ions at 10-60 deg.C. In the process, the hydrogen ion concentration of >0.3mol/l is inconvenient because the solution is contaminated by impurities. The crystals of the produced rare earth element oxalate salt is suspended in water, and subsequently mixed with oxalic acid and ammonia with stirring to produce a rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt. The double salt is dried at room temperature to 100 deg.C and subsequently calcined at 600-1200 deg.C to provide the subject oxide.

However, these manufacturing methods have a problem in that common heavy metals such as iron are unavoidably mixed in during the production process. The reason for this is that metals such as iron tend to generate poorly soluble hydroxides, which is difficult to avoid. Generally, when used for the above-mentioned purposes, the contamination of the above impurities is undesirable, and there is a demand for the development of highly pure rare earth oxides. The present invention solves these problems and provides a method for producing a highly pure rare earth element oxide and a rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt, which is a precursor thereof.

[0006] In the reaction with oxalic acid, for example, a rare earth element oxalate can be obtained by adding and mixing with stirring an aqueous solution of 1 to 30% by weight of oxalic acid dihydrate. In this case, the reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 10 to 60°C, the required time is about 1 minute to 3 hours, and the amount of oxalic acid used is preferably in the range of 1.5 to 2 times the amount of rare earth ions. Note that during the above reaction, the hydrogen ion concentration is 0.3
Exceeding mol/liter is disadvantageous because impurities may be mixed in. By the above treatment, rare earth element oxalate is obtained as a crystal, which is filtered and separated, and washed with water as appropriate to obtain a product containing few impurities.

Next, the rare earth element oxalate crystals obtained above are suspended in 5 to 30 times the amount of water, and while stirring, oxalic acid and ammonia are added and reacted to form the rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt. Let it crystallize. As the oxalic acid to be used, for example, oxalic acid dihydrate is used at a ratio of 0.0% to the rare earth element oxalate.
The ammonia used may be, for example, 28% by weight ammonia water in an amount of 1.0 to 1.5 times the amount of rare earth element oxalate. Further, the reaction temperature may be in the range of 10 to 60°C, and the reaction time may be in the range of 30 minutes to 5 hours. By treating in this way, the rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt (
NH4)R(C2O4)2 (R represents a rare earth element) is obtained, and by filtering, separating and washing with water as appropriate, it becomes a product with less impurities.

[0008] Furthermore, if the rare earth element ammonium oxalate double salt obtained above is heated to about room temperature to 100°C and dried, a prismatic double salt can be obtained. Then, by firing, a angular rare earth element oxide can be easily obtained. The firing temperature varies depending on the type of rare earth, but it may be heated to a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of oxalate, and may be in the range of 600 to 1,200°C, preferably in the range of 700 to 1,000°C. The baking time is 30 minutes after heating to the specified temperature.
It may be within a range of 3 hours. Note that the above drying step can be omitted and the firing treatment can be performed directly.
