overview | neodymium chloride rose purple columnar crystal, red orthorhombic crystal, deliquescent. The relative density is 2.28(16.5/4 ℃) and the melting point is 124 ℃. Add water to neodymium chloride in the air to release hydrogen chloride to form basic salt; but if you heat neodymium hydrate to 160°C in the hydrogen chloride airflow, the crystal water will be lost and become anhydrous salt. Both are soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in ether and chloroform. At 500~600 ℃, neodymium oxide reacts with dry hydrogen chloride gas to generate anhydrous neodymium chloride; neodymium oxide is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, and this solution is evaporated and crystallized in a sulfuric acid dryer to produce neodymium chloride hexahydrate. It can also be used for separation of rare earth elements. |
preparation | a preparation method of anhydrous neodymium chloride, comprising the following steps:(1) adding 1 part of neodymium carbonate and 1.5 parts of dilute hydrochloric acid into a reactor to form a mixed solution;(2) acid liquid adjusting step (1) the pH value of the mixed solution to 1.5, stirring for 1 hour to obtain a mixed liquid containing precipitation;(3) filter and remove impurities. filter the mixed liquid with precipitation in step (2) through a 1000 mesh screen to obtain filtrate;(4) microfiltration: add the filtrate in step (3) to a microporous filter to obtain filtrate;(5) evaporate and concentrate. heat the filtrate in step (4) to 150 ℃ and keep the temperature for 5 hours to obtain concentrated liquid;(6) Cooling crystallization The concentrated solution of step (5) is cooled to 20°C, and the crystallization is filtered for 12 hours to obtain neodymium chloride crystals;(7) Centrifugal dehydration The neodymium chloride crystals obtained in step (6) are added to the centrifugal dehydrator to obtain an intermediate product after centrifugal dehydration for 20min;(8) Dissolving pure water The intermediate product obtained in step (7) is added to the reactor containing pure water to form a solution, the mass ratio of intermediate product to pure water is 1:20;(11) Centrifugal dehydration The neodymium chloride crystal obtained in step (10) is added to the centrifugal dehydrator for 120min and then the neodymium chloride crystal is obtained;(12) Stepped constant temperature dehydration 1) The neodymium chloride crystal obtained in step (11) is put into an oven, raised to 80 ℃, and the temperature is kept for 2 hours to remove three crystal water to generate NdCl3 · H2O;2) Raise the temperature to 110 ℃, after holding for 2 hours, remove a crystal water to generate NdCl3 · H2O;3) Raise the temperature to 150 ℃, keep the temperature for 2 hours, and then remove a crystal water to generate NdCl3 · H2O;4) Raise the temperature to 200 ℃ and keep the temperature for 4 hours to obtain anhydrous neodymium chloride. |
