Study on Rare Earth Selective Leaching from Cerium-rich NdFeB Waste by Oxidation Roasting with Hydrochloric Acid at High Temperature
According to the characteristics of high cerium content in cerium-rich NdFeB waste,the rare earth in NdFeB waste was recovered by oxidation roasting-hydrochloric acid solution method,and the phase change of the waste high-tempera-ture roasting and the hydrochloric acid leaching conditions were studied.The XRD analysis results of the oxidized calcined ma-terial shows that the phase composition of the oxidized calcined material is mainly Fe2O3,GdFeO3,NdBO3 and CeO2 at the calcination temperature of 800 ℃;The results of hydrochloric acid high temperature leaching show that when the leaching tem-perature is 110 ℃,the time is 30 min,the amount of hydrochloric acid(excluding CeO2)is 1.30 times the theoretical amount,and the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 10wt%,the maximum leaching rate of rare earth is 74.65%,and the main phase composition of the filter residue is Fe2O3 and CeO2,there is a small amount of cerium in the leaching solution of rare earth chloride;The results of hydrochloric acid high-temperature reduction leaching show that by adding FeCl2 reducing a-gent,under the same leaching conditions,the tetravalent cerium in the oxide material is reduced to trivalent and enters the leaching solution,and the leaching rate of rare earth can reach 95.88%.
