摘要: A method of producing substantially pure rare earth elements (REEs) from a mixture, including the steps of dissolving a mixture containing REEs in a strong acid to result in a dissolved mixture of metal ions, including that of REEs, capturing metal ions of REEs in a first set of chromatographic columns comprising strong acid cation exchange resins, washing said first set of chromatographic columns with a salt solution to remove non-adsorbing metal ions, eluting metal ions of REES from said first set of chromatographic columns with a first ligand solution to result in a solution of enriched metal ions of REEs, loading said solution of enriched metal ions of REEs onto a second set of chromatographic columns, and eluting bound metal ions of REEs stepwise from said second set of chromatographic columns using a second ligand solution to afford a substantially pure REE. The second set of chromatographic columns comprises hydrous polyvalent metal oxide selected from the group consisting of TiO2, ZrO2, or SnO2. The ligand of the second ligand solution coordinates with said hydrous polyvalent metal oxide.

摘要: Presented herein is a ligand-assisted elution chromatography process for the separation of metal ions using a sorbent. An inorganic sorbent, titania, for example, has three types of adsorption sites: Bronsted acid (BA), Bronsted base (BB), and Lewis acid (LA). At a high pH, the BA sites can interact with the metal ions as a cation exchanger. If a ligand with COO groups is preloaded onto the sorbent, the COO— groups of the ligand can adsorb onto the LA sites. The adsorbed. ligands become strong adsorption sites for the metal ions. If the Langmuir a value for metal ion adsorption is similar to that of metal ion complexation with the ligand in the mobile phase, the different metal ions can be eluted separately with an overall selectivity which is equal to the ratio of the ligand selectivity to the sorbent selectivity.

摘要: Presented herein is a ligand-assisted elution chromatography process for the separation of metal ions using a sorbent. In particular, the present invention discloses a process of two sets of column system in combination with two sets of eluting ligand solutions to prepare substantially pure rare earth elements, wherein the first set of column comprises strong acid cation exchange resins and the second set of chromatographic columns comprises hydrous polyvalent metal oxide selected from the group consisting of TiO2, ZrO2, or SnO2 and wherein ligand of said second ligand solution coordinates with said hydrous polyvalent metal oxide.
