Recovery of Lanthanides from Extraction Phosphoric Acid Produced by the Dihydrate Process

摘要

Variant of precipitation of a concentrate of lanthanides from the extraction phosphoric acid formed in the dihydrate processing of the Khibiny apatite concentrate by introduction of sulfuric acid and sodium compounds into the acid is suggested. The main components of the concentrate are double sulfides of lanthanides with sodium, calcium sulfate dihydrate, and sodium hexafluorosilicate. The efficiency of recovery of lanthanides into the concentrate was studied in relation to a sodium compound used.
