Study on purification and application of novel precipitant for ceria-based polishing powder

Novel precipitant prepared through carbonation with MgCl2 wastewater generated from rare earth extraction separation process and low-price dolomite as raw materials was studied in this paper. The purification methods of novel precipitant by adding appropriate oxidizing agent were studied. It was found that optimal purification result could be achieved with sodium hypochlorite as iron removal reagent and the iron removal rate could reach up to 90% when the adding amount was 0.1 vol.%. During the preparation, the particle size and distribution of ceria-based polishing powder were affected obviously by the parameters such as concentration, reaction temperature and feeding rate. The results showed that ceria-based polishing powder with D50 =2.5-3.5 μm and the particle size distribution of 0.65-0.75 μm could be prepared when the concentration of CeCl3 was 0.6 mol/L, the reaction temperature was maintained at 50 °C and the feeding speed was controlled at 25 ml/min. Compared with commercial powder, the self-made polishing powder had roughly the same cutting amount, but the surface finish of polished glass was better than that of commercial polishing powder.     

Synergistic extraction of rare earth by mixtures of 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester and di-（2-ethylhexyl） phosphoric acid from sulfuric acid medium

The extraction of Nd^3＋ and Sm^3＋, including the extraction and stripping capability as well as the separation effect of Nd^3＋ or Sm^3＋, from a sulfuric acid medium, by mixtures of di-（2-ethylhexyl） phosphoric acid （HDEHP, H2A2（0）） and 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester （HEH/EHP, H2L2（0）） were studied. The distribution ratios and synergistic coefficients of Nd^3＋ and Sm^3＋ in different acidities were also determined. A synergistic extractive effect was found when HDEHP and HEH/EHP were used as mixed extractants for Sm^3＋ or Nd^3＋. The chemical compositions of the extracted complex were determined as Nd.（HA2）2-HL2 and Sm.（HA2）2-HL2. The extraction equilibrium constants, enthalpy change, and entropy change of the extraction reaction were also determined.     

稀土绿色冶炼分离新技术研究进展

一、稀土资源开发概况 我国是稀土资源大国,也是稀土生产、稀土应用及稀土出口大国。2006年,我国稀土冶炼产品产量达到15．70万吨（含废料回收所得近4．04万吨）,占世界总产量的95％左右;近年来,国家对稀土矿产品和冶炼分离产品生产实行指令性计划管理,稀土开采总量得到有效控制,2007年,稀土冶炼产品产量下降到12．60万吨（含废料回收所得近1．80万吨）,比上年减少19．75％。目前,我国稀土工业上应用的主要稀土矿种为：包头混合型稀土矿、四川氟碳铈矿和南方离子吸附型稀土矿,由于矿物结构和成分不同,采用的冶炼分离工艺也不一样,主体冶炼工艺如下：

碳酸氢铵沉淀法制备超细CeO2 粉体工艺条件研究

用碳酸氢铵从硝酸铈溶液中沉淀制备了超细C eO2粉体,研究了沉淀工艺条件对制备C eO2的一次粒径、团聚粒径以及粉体团聚性的影响。研究表明形成的碳酸铈胶状沉淀物需要在高温下陈化足够长的时间才能制备出一次粒径小,分散性好的C eO2产品,否则将形成大的团聚体。当碳酸氢铵与硝酸铈的摩尔比为3∶1左右、沉淀温度为50℃左右时制备的C eO2具有小的一次粒径,而且产品的分散性好。适当地增大加料速度和初始料液的pH值有利于减小C eO2的一次粒径和团聚性。
