摘要:
Disclosed is a method of recovering rare earth, aluminum and silicon from rare earth-containing aluminum-silicon scrap. The method comprises: S1, acid-leaching the rare earth-containing aluminum-silicon scrap with an inorganic acid aqueous solution to obtain a silicon-rich slag and acid leached solution containing rare earth and aluminum element; S2, adding an alkaline substance into the acid leached solution containing the rare earth and aluminum element and controlling a PH value of the acid leaching solution between 3.5 to 5.2, performing a solid-liquid separation to obtain a aluminum hydroxide-containing precipitate and a rare earth-containing solution filter; S3, reacting the aluminum hydroxide containing precipitate with sodium hydroxidee to obtain sodium metaaluminate solution and aluminum-silicon slag, and preparing a rare earth compound product with the rare earth-containing filtrate. The method dissolves an the aluminum and the rare earth with the acid and then via step wise alkaline conversion, convert aluminum icons to an aluminum hydroxide precipitate separated from rare earth ions, and then adds excessive amounts of sodium hydroxide to convert the aluminum hydroxide to a sodium metaaluminate solution, thereby realizing high-efficiency recovery of both rare earth and aluminum while significantly reducing the consumption of the sodium hydroxide and thus recovery cost.

There are provided processes for treating red mud. For example, the processes can comprise leaching red mud with HCl so as to obtain a leachate comprising ions of a first metal (for example aluminum) and a solid, and separating said solid from said leachate. Several other metals can be extracted from the leachate (Fe, Ni, Co, Mg, rare earth elements, rare metals, etc.). Various other components can be extracted from solid such as TiO2, SiO2 etc.
摘要:
The disclosed processes can be effective for treating various materials comprising several different metals. These materials can be leached with HCl for obtaining a leachate and a solid. Then, they can be separated from one another and a first metal can be isolated from the leachate. Then, a second metal can further be isolated from the leachate. The first and second metals can each be substantially selectively isolated from the leachate. This can be done by controlling the temperature of the leachate, adjusting pH, further reacting the leachate with HCl, etc. The metals that can be recovered in the form of metal chlorides can eventually be converted into the corresponding metal oxides, thereby allowing for recovering HCl. The various metals can be chosen from aluminum, iron, zinc, copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, cobalt, magnesium, lithium, manganese, nickel, palladium, platinum, thorium, phosphorus, uranium, titanium, rare earth element and rare metals.

There are provided processes for preparing various products from various materials. For example, such processes are effective for extracting titanium and various other metals from various materials, thereby allowing for preparing products such as titanium chloride and titanium oxide. These processes can comprise leaching the starting material with HCl so as to obtain a leachate and a solid. The solid can be treated so as to substantially selectively extract titanium therefrom while the leachate can be treated so as to substantially selectively recover a first metal chloride therefrom.

摘要:
A method for producing substantially pure alumina from kaolin clay by removing in a soluble form impurities which contaminate the alumina while the aluminum is maintained in an insoluble form. This is accomplished by leaching calcined kaolin clay with at least 36 weight percent hydrochloric acid to dissolve the impurities and convert the aluminum to insoluble aluminum chloride and maintaining the hydrochloric acid concentration in the leach liquor at at least 36 weight percent by the injection of hydrochloric acid gas. The insoluble aluminum chloride is then separated from the dissolved impurities and subjected to a second leaching step to solubilize and separate it from the silica gangue. Substantially pure AlCl.sub.3.sup.. 6H.sub.2 O crystals are recovered from solution and converted to alumina by conventional means. In an alternate embodiment, the process may be practiced on uncalcined clay and includes the addition of a source of fluoride ions, such as H.sub.2 SiF.sub.6, to the at least 36 weight percent hydrochloric acid leach liquor. An optional preleaching step utilizing 2N to 6N mineral acid is also disclosed.

A cyclic process for obtaining very pure alumina by the hydrochloric acid attack of a silico-aluminous material, the said process comprising, in a first stage, the precipitation of at most 75% of the alumina present in the liquor originating from the attack in the form of hexahydrated aluminum chloride which is subsequently decomposed by heating, then, in a second stage, the treatment of the liquor leaving the first stage with HCl gas in order to precipitate dissolved Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the form of hexahydrated aluminum chloride which is recycled into the liquor leaving the attack, while the hydrochloric liquor leaving the second stage and impoverished in Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 but rich in impurities, is treated with a recycled sulphuric liquor in order to precipitate impurities as their corresponding sulphates.

摘要:
A process for the selective separation of ferric iron from an aluminum fluoride aqueous solution containing ferric iron is effected by contacting said solution with an organic extractant phase consisting essentially of a mixture of a mono (higher alkyl-substituted phenyl) phosphoric acid and a di(higher alkyl-substituted phenyl) phosphoric acid dissolved in an inert diluent to thereby transfer the ferric iron to said organic extractant phase. The efficiency of the process is further improved by adjusting the aluminum fluoride aqueous feed solution to a temperature in the range of about 140.degree. F. to about 175.degree. F. prior to contacting it with the organic extractant phase, maintaining the temperature within this range throughout the ferric iron extraction stage or stages, then heating the resulting iron-depleted aqueous raffinate to a temperature higher than 195.degree. F., and then crystallizing aluminum fluoride trihydrate out of the raffinate at this higher temperature.
