摘要
对白云鄂博混合稀土精矿(REO~50%)浓硫酸高温分解工艺放射性废渣的产生过程、组成形貌、粒径分布和资源特性等进行了系统研究和鉴定分类,并对废渣蕴含的资源量及资源化开发进行了初步研究。通过研究得出,废渣富含稀土、钍、铌、磷、铁等多种有价元素,且所含的稀土较少,部分是以矿物形式存在,大部分是以包裹夹带形式存在,其中镨、钕、钆含量偏高,因此该废渣的资源储量和经济价值巨大。按照相关国家标准,废渣中α、β总比放为7.11×10~4Bq/kg左右,属于第Ⅰ级(低放废物);浸出毒性和腐蚀性符合国标要求,属于第Ⅰ类一般工业废物。在热的酸溶液中,可将废渣中各有价元素提取,为综合利用提供条件。
The radioactive waste slag were extracted from Bayun Obo mixed rare earth concentrate(REO ~ 50%) by traditional sulfuric acid decomposition process.The generation process,chemical composition,surface morphology and particle size distribution were investigated and identified systemically.Furthermore,some preliminary study has been done to quantify the resource of the waste slag and its related exploitation in future.It has found that the waste slag is rich in abundant valuable elements such as rare earth,thorium,niobium,phosphorus,iron etc,in which small amount of rare earths are in the form of mineral and most of the rare earths are bundled by other elements.And the contents of elements like praseodymium,neodymium,gadolinium are larger than other elements,so the waste slag has great resource reservation and economic value.According to national standards,if the totally specific radioactivity of α-ray and β-ray of waste slag is around 7.11 × 104 Bq/kg,the slag belongs to class-Ⅰ(low-radioactive wastes); Besides,its leaching toxicity and causticity are both accord with national standard,ascribing to class-Ⅰgeneral industrial waste.In addition,these valuable elements can be extracted from the heated acid solution,this will be beneficial for comprehensive utilization of waste slag.
