Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Wasted Lamp Phosphor Using Deep Eutectic Solvents
In this study,two deep eutectic solvents were used to realize the comprehensive recovery of high-value rare earth elements from wasted lamp phosphors.Firstly,99.38％of Y and 93.12％of Eu in the phosphor waste were leached by using the hydrophilic deep eutectic solvent(betaine-propanedioic acid)under the conditions of 20％water content,leaching temperature of 90 ℃,leaching time of 16 h,and solid-liquid ratio of 75∶1(mL/g),and the recovery of Y and Eu was realized by the oxal-ic acid precipitation method.And then,the extraction and separation of rare earth elements(Tb,Eu,Ce)and impurities(Al,Ba,Mg)in the second-stage alkali-melt leach solution was realized by using the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent(thenoyltrif-luoroacetone-trioctylphosphine)under the initial aqueous phase pH of 1,O/A of 0.8,and a shaking time of 12 min.The rare earth elements loaded in the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent could be stripped by using 5 mol/L HCl to obtain the chlorinated rare earth enrichment solution,and the performance of the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent was basically unchanged after five cycles.This process realizes high-efficiency and low-cost selective recovery of high-value rare earth elements from waste lamp phosphors,and has excellent application prospects in the field of secondary resource recovery of rare earths.
