镧钐渣焙烧变质协同熔盐电化学法分离稀土La/Sm研究

Study on the separation of rare earth La/Sm by roasting modification of lanthanum samarium slag and electrochemical method of molten salt

  • 摘要: 稀土金属镧热还原渣中La元素再生利用对稀土二次资源高值利用具有重要意义。本文主要研究镧钐渣(LaSlag)焙烧变质和(LiF-LaF3eut.氟化物熔盐载体中电化学还原分离La/Sm规律,探索阴极电流密度和温度对(LiF-LaF3eut.-LaSlag电还原参数(槽电压、反电动势和过电位)的影响,为优化还原外部条件提供依据。结果表明:镧钐渣在不低于823 K条件下,经焙烧改性可全部脱氢转型为稳定的稀土镧/钐氧化物。在温度1 223~1 323 K范围内,当(LiF-LaF3eut.-LaSlag体系电还原过程阴极电流密度在低于4.0 A/cm2范围内递增时,体系的槽电压、过电位也逐渐增加,阳极效应周期则逐渐缩短;当电流密度高于4.0 A/cm2后,体系的槽电压、过电位和阳极效应周期趋于稳定。当阴极电流密度一定时,阴极过电位和阳极效应周期影响较小,低于1 273 K时体系槽电压和反电动势随温度升高而小幅度降低,温度高于1 273 K时则趋于稳定。

     

    Abstract: The regeneration and utilization of La in its thermal reduction slag of rare earth metal are of great significance for the high-value utilization of rare earth secondary resources. In this paper, the roasting modification of lanthanum samarium slag (LaSlag) and the electrochemical reduction separation mechanisms of La/Sm in (LiF-LaF3)eut fluoride molten salt carrier were studied. The effect of cathode current density and temperature on the (LiF-LaF3)eut.-LaSlag electroreduction parameters (cell voltage, back electromotive force and overpotential) was explored to provide a basis for optimizing external reduction conditions. The results showed that all the lanthanum-samarium slag could be dehydrogenated to stable rare-earth lanthanum-samarium oxides by roasting modification at no less than 823 K. Within the temperature range of 1 223~1 323 K, during the electroreduction process of the(LiF-LaF3)eut.-LaSlag system, as the cathode current density increased within the range of less than 4.0 A/cm2, the cell voltage and overpotential of the system also gradually increased, while the anode effect period progressively shortened. When the current density was higher than 4.0 A/cm2, its three electroreduction parameters tended to be stable. As the cathode current density remained constant, the effect of cathode overpotential and anode effect period was relatively small. Below 1 273 K, the cell voltage and back electromotive force decreased slightly with the increase in temperature, while they tended to be stable at temperatures above 1 273 K.
