Notes

QC 20191115
In this study, different processes have been developed and applied to treat a rare earth phosphate concentrate obtained within the nitrophosphate process of fertilizer production. Methods to remove impurities such as Fe and Ca have been investigated as well as to separate the phosphorous and thereby facilitate dissolution of the rare earth elements (REE). These methods include thermal treatment with sodium hydroxide and sodium double sulphate precipitation with and without alkaline conversion, followed by selective dissolution in different acids. The proposed processes were compared and analyzed from the perspective of introducing an appropriate intermediate product for further individual REE separation. The results have shown that after thermal treatment with NaOH at 400 °C, the phosphorous can be removed from the rare earth phosphate concentrate by water leaching. Investigation of different REE phosphate concentrates demonstrated that mixed Ca and REE phases, e.g. REEmCan(PO4)3m+2n/3 and CaHPO4 are less likely to dephosphorize than REE(PO4).nH2O and FePO4.H2O under these conditions. The recovery of REE to a mild acidic solution is limited by the presence of remaining phosphate ions and by the formation of REE oxide phases during the thermal treatment. The results also show that a solution containing 40 g/L REE; free of phosphorous, calcium and iron can be obtained after reprecipitation of the rare earth phosphate concentrate as sodium rare earth double sulphates followed by alkaline conversion with sodium hydroxide and dissolution in nitric acid.
