Raw Materials | Rare earth chlorides monazite MISCH METAL LANTHANUM |
EPA chemical information | Lanthanum chloride (LaCl3) hexahydrate (17272-45-6) |
the enrichment method uses rare earth chloride or rare earth ammonium sulfate double salt as raw material, and after extracting part of cerium, lanthanum is relatively enriched. If monazite is used as raw material, lanthanum accounts for about 17% of the mixed rare earth in the natural monazite. Through the above process, lanthanum is enriched to about 40%.
The rare earth ammonium sulfate double salt is dissolved with sodium hydroxide, the cerium is oxidized by air, and the cerium is leached with dilute hydrochloric acid to separate the cerium-rich slag and further extract the cerium. The filtrate is a lanthanum-rich mother liquor, which is then extracted and separated to remove cerium, and then crystallized to obtain enriched lanthanum chloride. Its
