Background

The rare earth fluoride is an important raw material for preparing rare earth metals and alloys by an oxide electrolysis method and a calcium thermal reduction method, and for praseodymium-neodymium alloy, praseodymium-neodymium fluoride is used as a raw and auxiliary material for electrolyzing metals to produce praseodymium-neodymium alloy, and domestic praseodymium-neodymium fluoride production processes are three: one is hydrofluoric acid method (wet method) prepared by adding hydrofluoric acid into praseodymium neodymium carbonate; the ammonia hydrogen fluoride method (dry method) prepared by ammonium bifluoride and praseodymium neodymium oxide; and thirdly, a hydrogen fluoride gas method (gas method) for directly preparing praseodymium neodymium oxide by fluoridizing hydrogen fluoride gas. The three methods are widely applied in production, at present, various problems are exposed in the application process of the three methods, the consumption of products produced by the ammonium bifluoride method in electrolysis is large, and the investment of ammonium recovery equipment is high; the hydrofluoric acid method has long working procedure, low rare earth recovery rate, large three-waste treatment capacity and high production cost; the hydrogen fluoride gas method has strict requirements on the performances of equipment tightness, corrosion resistance and the like, and the cost investment is large. Meanwhile, the three methods all need to purchase and add additional raw and auxiliary materials (hydrofluoric acid and ammonium bifluoride), so that the production cost of the praseodymium neodymium fluoride is increased, and by adopting the three methods, the treatment capacity of waste gas and waste water is not small, and the problem of consuming considerable cost to treat three wastes is solved. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a low-cost praseodymium neodymium fluoride production technology to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.

In industrial production, do not generally directly adopt the mixed solution of praseodymium neodymium chloride to directly obtain praseodymium neodymium fluoride, lie in, directly deposit the praseodymium neodymium fluoride granule that mixed praseodymium neodymium chloride produced with hydrogen fluoride and be thinner, can form the colloid and suspend in deposiing the mixed solution in the process of deposiing, be difficult for washing and filtering, lead to praseodymium neodymium tombarthite recovery rate to reduce easily moreover, and the process of using hydrogen fluoride to deposit praseodymium neodymium carbonate is praseodymium neodymium ion and fluorine combination production praseodymium neodymium fluoride, and the praseodymium neodymium fluoride of output is the praseodymium neodymium fluoride that the granularity is great to deposit the separation effect relatively good, and easy washing also is difficult for causing praseodymium neodymium tombarthite to lose, therefore, what generally adopt is praseodymium neodymium carbonate.

In addition, the praseodymium neodymium chloride mixed solution is obtained by wet smelting of the fluorocarbon cerium bastnaesite, fluorine-containing wastewater with the fluorine concentration reaching about 35g/L is discharged in the production process, and the fluorine-containing wastewater is discharged after reaching the standard through fluorine removal treatment, so that the waste of fluorine resources is not only caused in the process, but also the wastewater treatment cost is increased in the process of treating the fluorine-containing wastewater, and the profit of enterprises is reduced.
